Little Birds

During Ethan's birthday party the "birds" come out. Collin loves ice cream. He gets excited and clapps when a spoonfull is coming his way. Ethan walks now so he travels from one person to the next with mouth open ready for the next bite of cake or ice cream. Today's bird feeder is Grandpa. How cute.

Saying Good Bye For Now

One of the cutest things that Adon and Alexis does is give eachother hugs hello and good bye. These pictures don't do justice as to how cute it is. Tonight is our last night playing with cousins before they go to Arizona to start their new life. We will miss them terribly. The next time we will see them is for sure June when we go to Mexico. Hopefully we will get to see them before then. We are so very excited that they are moving on to the next stage of their lives. I am especially jealous about them getting into a new house that Marcy can decorate to her hearts content. I can't wait to do that. We love you guy so much and we know that Marcy will keep up the blog with all her creations and pictures of kids.

Happy 1st Birthday Ethan!

Ethan's marvelous dinosaur birthday cake that Marcy made. We were all very impressed by her "skills"
The traditional eating of the cake. I think Alexis still wins at being the messiest, yet Ethan definately wins and getting the most in his mouth. Happy Birthday Buddy!

Notice: Camera is Sick

I'm doing a little better here and there with updating posts. Yet as of last week, my camera is under the weather. Adon was playing with it and I asked him to hand it to me (because he isn't supposed to be playing with it without help) and as he was handing it to me my sweet two-year-old accidentally dropped it on the tile. Lukily it still will take a picture and I figured out how to get the lense to go back into the camera but it won't focus very well. So until further notice I may have to used picuters from the past or from other people's camera. Maybe a few fuzzy pictures won't be too bad, I'm not much of a photographer any way.

Adon Loves Snow

During Collin's naps, Adon and I go outside to enjoy the newly fallen snow. Yes those are socks on his hands because he wants gloves like mommy but I've misplaced his mittens. I should have looked in his little pockets. He is pointing to the cool blow up lawn decorations that our landlords have in the front of their house. He really likes the snow globe.
Here is Adon by the snow globe. He is in his new snow pants and last years coat that still fits him. He loves to wear Collin's hat to go swing. My camera ran out of batteries before I could get cute pictures of him swinging outside. He doesn't care how cold it is.

Here is my sweet boy. I can't believe he is two. He loves to go outside and play in the snow. That smile melts my heart no matter how cold it is outside. Adon's word for snow man is "ninos" wich in spanish is children, I think. I don't know where he learned that but hey.

My New Best Friend

Two big stuffed bears arrived on Christmas Day. This one is at Grandma and Grandpa Egberts house. I thought this was such a cute picture of Collin looking like he had found a long lost friend and started talkig to this huge bear. Adon and Collin also recieved a large, white, CocaCola Bear that we have been saving since Aaron's CocaCola days.

Splish Splash in One Big Bath

Collin is finally big enough to hang with the big kids.

All four cousins in the big tub at Grandma and Grandpa Egbert's house. Ethan is on oxygen for his RSV but he is still as excited to be in the water as any one else.

What a cute guy, I love his big brown eyes and to see him so happy.
