(August 26, 2004 --just hours old!)
On Sunday our Ethan turned 3! He really is changing into such a big boy--all the baby fat is gone from his cheeks and he says such grown up things to me, like "Oh Sure, Mom!" This year was especially fun to celebrate because Ethan fully understood what having a birthday meant--he even sang every word of Happy Birthday, including his own name, right along with the rest of us. We couldn't ask for a sweeter, more entertaining, boy to have in our family.
The scooter was a hit (thank goodness for the 2 training wheels in the back!).
It's more fun to hit your little brother in the eye with your party favor.
Ethan realizes that he gets an entire giant-sized piece of cake to himself, even though he was too excited to eat his dinner. Life is good on your birthday (he only eats the frosting anyway).
For those of you with budding performers, you must try this toy--the Fisher-Price Star Station. Hook it up to your TV and your kid can sing into a microphone and see themselves on the TV screen. It is so funny to watch our kids watch themselves--they love it!
Finally--I won't have to endlessly pitch a baseball--this Tee can do it for me!
Aunt Danielle knows all about Ethan's obsession with Charlie Brown. He was pretty happy to see a Snoopy pop-up book .
Luke didn't quite understand why he couldn't open presents too (even Ethan asked us where Lukey's presents were!). He won't have to wait long. In 4 short weeks it will be Luke's turn!

So cute! Happy Birthday Ethan.
Do you guys have after birthday blues? Samuel does, it is killing me.
Happy Birthday to Ethan! Has it really been three years? Seems like yesterday we were living it up at Malibu Meadows...no kids. Now look at all of us! Ethan's not even a baby anymore...when did that happen?!
What a beautiful baby he was! Looking back, haven't the past three years held some of your best memories and cherished moments? Just think of how many more you'll have over the rest of your life as his (& all your other kid's) mommy! That's how I feel about life as a mommy!
Happy Birthday, Ethan! It's so fun when they know what's going on and get more excited than you!
For some reason I always think Ethan is so much younger than Courtney but really, they are almost the same age. It's so weird to have kids get older. The saddest thing to me is that Courtney and Ethan never even get to spend time together. Maybe when we are in California for Thanksgiving, they can get some play time in.
Cute earrings Audra, such keen fashion sense. Oh and happy birthday to Ethan =).
The picture of Ethan getting Luke in the eye w/the party favor is a classic! So funny! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETHAN!!
Happy Birthday Ethan! I can imagine that the whole presents thing can get a little confusing to kids-at least at Christmas everyone gets something so it's not as dramatic! :)
oh, HE's soooo cute, too!!! Happy birthday to him!!!
Alyssa...will you send me a link to your blog again? is it in the chicago group? Audra--do you have it? I just want to bookmark it so that I can always get to it. I think thatI know the password for it.
Thanks, Jenn
