our california boy

mr. e, ethanator, ethan-eater, ethan 'cookie'... however you put it, this kid is a riot!
he came into this world, march 13, 2004 in clovis, california....18 days earlier than expected. he loves that he and daddy were both born in CA and both have blue eyes!
he truly believes that he was born on the matterhorn... in his little mind, california is disneyland, so it must have been the matterhorn... he'll tell you all about it if you ask... and there's definitely no making him believe otherwise!


he is the best thing that happened to us while we attempted to put down roots in CA, only to move many times in his first year. it was a year of pure craziness, but our little "love" made it all better. back then he was always full of huge smiles,huge baby chub rolls, huge laughs...
still to this day he has a huge personality, huge facial expressions with his huge eyes, (he is still pretty huge too... just a big thick kid...i can barely lift him these days!), he has a huge imagination(making up funny and detailed stories all the time!), he says hilarious things, and is pretty determined to do whatever he decides... like when i am calling for him to "come here" his reply is "i'm ignoring you"... like trying to convince me to buy a paint roller so he can paint his room red (his favorite color) ... the other night he went and got in bed, so tired. well i went in his room to get him to come and brush his teeth and he told me "i'm too tired to move my fat little body!" i was laughing so hard! i didn't know, but apparently that is a line from a movie he had been watching earlier ... i often find things in my shopping cart as i am checking out that i definitely did not put there. he likes to do his own shopping when we are out. on one of our recent trips to walmart, he grabbed a bunch of silk flowers that he really wanted to give to his favorite girl, hallie. he also wanted to buy her some betty boop socks, i talked him into the flowers. he is just hilarious! he has a great memory, and a very inquisitive mind!
we just love this boy and are so glad he came to us 4 short years ago!


we celebrated his birthday with donuts for breakfast, a fun party with some friends during the day... so glad cousin macy was here too! we had pizza and then headed over to jumpin' jacks for some serious fun!

later that night we had another bash with the family... good times.


happy birthday ethan! you are the best!

What would Hallie do without her Boyfriend?? She absolutely adores him and why wouldn't she? So for all you wondering out there - he is totally taken!
He is one handsome little hunk.
He totally reminds me of my Chunk in those baby pics...
They grow too fast...
