Working in the Yard

We had a big hole in our backyard where the previous owners had a big pool. Shawn and my Dad (with a little "help" from Ethan, filled it in with dirt (It took 17 yards, which is a lot. It took them 5 trailer loads full, with each load carrying an average of about 3-4 tons of dirt.) Ethan thought it was a lot of fun playing in the dirt, especially since Grandma and Grandpa brought a wheel barrow and a rake that was just his size. After all the dirt was in, they planted grass seed and it it really coming in nicely now. Shawn will even be able to mow the new grass soon; probably this weekend.

Taking a break with Grandma

Ethan helping Dad and Grandpa level the dirt before they could plant the grass.

Aren't these tools just the perfect size! Ethan had so much fun with them.

Our little boy is such a boy! He loves to play in the dirt and tries to eat it.

Memorial Day Picnic

We went to Mt. Rainier on Memorial Day. Here are just a few of the pictures we took.

Ethan had a lot of fun when Shawn started throwing him up in the air.

Here is Grandma, goofing off with Ethan.

Ethan found this great little walking stick along our little hike and used it as he walked along. Doesn't he just look so cute!!

Here is a fun chair that we found while we were on our hike. Seeing Ethan in this big chair makes me thing of Goldilocks in Papa bear's chair.

Father's & Sons Outing

Here are some cute pictures from Ethan's first Father's and Son's outing. Sorry about the one picture that is sideways and the underlined text. I'm not sure how it happened, but I can't figure out how to rotate the picture or get rid of the underline. If anyone is more blog savy than me and knows how to fix it, please, let me know.

Another Ultrasound

Here are the pictures from our latest ultrasound, taken on May 18th.

Top Left: profile

Top Right: Face (I think that it is easier to see if you tip your head to the right and look at it from a distance. It looks a little ghostly to me.)

Bottom Left: It's still a girl! There are the two legs and then the three lines that the arrow is pointing to is what they say indicates that it is a girl.

Bottom Right: Another profile, but with her up to her forehead as if to say, "life is so hard". Looks like she's a drama queen already.
