Kayaking the Upper Guadalupe River

W.E. had a blast with family kayaking the Upper Guadalupe River. We dominated the rapids!

The Easter Bunny visited us

The Easter Bunny came and visited us on Sunday.
She was a very beautiful bunny with floppy pink ears:

She brought along her lil' helper:
The bunny hid lots of eggs for her lil' helper to find. Some had yummy "O"s in side...
some had tasty yogurt bites...


some were filled with excitement...

some with awe...

and some with concentration.
After hunting eggs, it was time to cool off... (OK, this was the day before)

and pose for pictures with the family.

Before we could give the Easter Bunny's lil' helper a hug, he sped away in a brand new ambulance parked outside.


"Thank you GrandBob for hooking me up!"

Bath fun!

Oops, these didn't fit in the post from earlier tonight, so you get two posts! No captions for these; just pure preciousness...

Birthday and other fun

OK, here's part of the update we've been promising. There's still more to come (I want to put some videos up, but that will have to wait).

Ethan was baptized back on Feb 21 and we had Family over afterward for Ethan's 1st Birthday celebration. It turned out to be an absolutely wonderful day!

Ethan was practicing his "singing" skills here. He can hit quite a high note when he wants to!

Birthday-Boy was so excited that he started busting a move!


"Oh goodness! Is this whole piece of cake mine?!?!"

"This is soooooo yummy! I want every day to be my Birthday!"

Ethan was quite the social butterfly at his party. He he can be seen talking with Aunt Kay about the joys of sticking his hands in her cup fishing for ice!

The grandparents are sooooo proud of our little man!

Ethan was exploring the church before the service started and just looked so handsome.

"Wow, it's Beautiful, mommy!"

Ethan is such a lucky man to be loved by his wonderful aunts!

When we get tired of chasing Ethan around the house and yard, we can put him in here for a break. Do you think he likes it?

Ethan and Daddy staying warm in the house. Why does mommy keep it so cold? Is it because we look so cute together in our hats?

Speaking of cute...

Coming soon

Wow, Ethan has been a busy lil' guy recently. We've had a lot of activities and events lately; in fact, we've been so busy, we haven't even posted any pictures here in quite a while. Hopefully we'll catch up soon, but not tonight. Tonight is for sleeping...and showing you his belly.

More Activities

Ethan has been changing quite a bit lately.

• He's been sleeping much longer through the night
• He now walks almost as much as he crawls
• more teeth are sprouting like weeds!
• He loves to see how wide he can open his mouth while throwing his head back (seriously, why the heck does he do this?!?)

"I know there must be something awesome in here since Mommy and Daddy put a lock on the door..."

"Daddy, please let me help you work on the car!!!"

Here's Ethan with his hand in the cookie jar. My how he loves that toy!

We ventured to Central Market today to play, and he was more interested in the nutritional qualities of the mulch. It seems that other kids love to pile the mulch on every flat surface on the playscape, and Ethan found most of their piles...

"Daddy, can you see all of my teefies!?!?" He now has three up top, and as of today, four on the bottom. Two weeks ago, he only had two on top and two on bottom. My little man is growing up too fast!

Ethan is showing off he new shoes and his advanced walking skills.
