Thanksgiving Break

Well we started out Brandon's break with putting up the Christmas tree which was different then last year when we put it up. First of all we did not have a baby to stop us from enjoying it together and we did it kind of late so we did not put the ornaments on it until just last night. I am happy it is up I love Christmas. So anyways we did that and we played some racquetball and went shopping and relaxed. It was nice just to have Brandon home with me all day long. Then we went up to Idaho for thanksgiving. We were so excited to be flying and not driving. I would take a 2 hour flight over a 14 hour drive any day! haha Ethan did really good on the plane which we were happy about. Then the day after we got into Idaho it started snowing and it snowed for a couple of days. We got a good amount of snow and it was really cold so that was interesting with Ethan never being in any weather colder than 70 degrees. haha We had a lot of fun hanging out with Brandon's family playing games and relaxing. On Tuesday we had my sister in-law Vandy's baby shower and it was fun. We are so excited for their little family and having this little girl and we can't wait till they have her. Being a parent is just the best even if it is frustrating sometimes. Then on Wednesday we had thanksgiving with Brandon's moms side of the family and on Thanksgiving day we had it at the Murri's side of the family. Both were fun but I only took pictures at the Murri Thanksgiving. It was fun seeing everybody again! So here are some pictures of our Thanksgiving break. :-)

Brandon took Ethan some of the mornings while on break and for some reason he decided not to go back to sleep for a little while. So while laying in bed waiting for Brandon to come back in and noticing that he was not coming I went out to check and see where he was. This is what I found. :-) I love these boys so much!! So cute! :-)

Ethan's first airplane ride and he fell fast asleep the last 20-30 minutes of the flight! :-)

All ready to go out into the cold!

Playing in his cousin Mady's toy! Luckily she is older and does not really use it so we were able to. Thanks Coya!

Watching football after a big yummy Thanksgiving dinner!

YAY for sisters!

Coya's little girl Mady! :-) so cute, she is getting so big it is crazy!

Ethan and his cousin Brycen! Ethan is 4 1/2 months in this and Brycen is almost 8 months.

The 3 cousin so cute!!

They both look like they are ready for a long winters nap! hahahaha

I love my little family!

Such handsome boys! :-)

Then of course we had to spend the nights at home with out Christmas tree lights on and watch "The Santa Clause"! :-) YAY!!

4 months old already

Stats at 4 months old:

Height: 24 1/4 inches (30th percentile)

Weight: 12 pounds 8 ounces (percentile in the teens)

On Monday Ethan turned 4 months old I can't believe it. So we went in for his check up and the doctor said that he is doing really good he is just not going to be a big boy haha. We have to make sure to give him lots of tummy time since his head is getting a little flatter and he needs to learn to like it! haha So we are working on that with him. He is such a fun little boy. Although frustrating at times all the cute times make up for it. He is getting so big so fast and I can't believe it. Oh ya and the doc said no baby food yet because he wants Ethan to gain more weight on his formula first! So I guess we will be waiting for a little while longer, oh well!

Picnic

So last Saturday we decided to go on a picnic. The weather was BEAUTIFUL and Brandon was going to need a lunch break from studying anyways. So I packed our lunches which consisted of sandwiches, yellow honeydew (which is really good by the way), strawberries and waters oh and some chips for Brandon. So I packed up the car and headed over to the surprise park near the library. It was so nice outside and we could have stayed outside all day, but Brandon had to get back to studying and we had a tired little boy. It was so fun and it was Ethan's first picnic ever! So of coarse we took pictures! haha He is such a cutie!

What a cutie!!

Playing with Daddy

Oh how I love these two men in my life!

Can't get enough!

We love this boy so much and he brings so much joy into our family!! He is getting so big so fast! Although it is sad that he is growing up so fast he is so much fun and just gets cuter every day!

1st Halloween

Well this was Ethan's first Halloween and I think it turned out to be a successful one with his cute little outfit! So the Friday night before Halloween Brandon, Ethan and I went to our ward Halloween party. It was pretty chill we just talked with some people and admired our cute little boy in his costume! We did not get enough to eat because they did not have much chili so afterwards we went to Sonic and got some burgers and a snickers blast and went home and watched an episode of Castle that we had not watched. Then on Halloween night we gave out candy to trick-or-treaters and watched "Lord of the Rings" so although we did not do much this year it was pretty fun just to get Ethan dressed up and show him off as well as just spend some time together. So here are some pics from when we dressed up.

Brandon was the Chef and I was the assistant cook

and as you can see lobster was on the menu! haha :-)

Our cute little lobster in his pot ready to cook!

Such an innocent cute little face.

I love the way he holds his hands together like this. haha

So cute!

The look of sheer terror! :-)

PLEASE DON'T COOK ME!

I WILL BE GOOD I PROMISE!!

Freedom! haha

He was only happy in the pot for a little bit and then he was ready to be free! haha He is such a cutie I can't get enough of him.
