Happy Birthday Ethan

Happy Birthday to this boy! He is four years old, and loves to tell people that he is that many.

Ethan had a fabulous day. For his party he insisted we needed to go to Burger King for dinner. A new one just opened up by us, and he has been asking, and asking when we would get to eat there.

Dylan and Jayden were both really cute about giving presents to Ethan. Just the weekend before we had gone to the Rock and Gem Show in Spanish Fork. They each brought some money with them. Jayden bought several rock candy sticks. Dylan bought lots of rocks. On Ethan's birthday Jayden told me he wanted to give Ethan some of his rock candy. So, I helped him wrap one up. Later that day, Dylan said he wanted to give Ethan one of his rocks. We found an old jewelry box that he could stick it in, and we wrapped it up.

We have a lot of trains at our house, but Ethan has been asking for more trains since before Christmas, so I finally decided to give in and let him have some more. He was sooo excited!

Ethan had decided to have a Toy Story Party. His last two have been Thomas the Tank Engine parties, and I was suprised that he even changed this year, given how much he still loves trains. He helped me find a picture of a cake online that he wanted me to make, and I modified it slightly to simplify. I think it turned out great!

I love this picture!

Ethan is a fun little boy. He has a mind of his own, and says the funniest things all the time. He has such a love of life, and is very cheerful and fun to be around. He loves to play with his brothers and his friends. His favorite toys are his trains. He loves to carry around small special toys, like his wallet from Philmont, two little toy dog figurines, trains, and anything else that is special to him at the moment. He loves to save the stickers he gets from preschool and at the store. He is very particular about things, like the order tasks are completed, or the way you tuck him in at night. His best friends right now are Cade Hansen, Ethan Dahl, and Graham Winzeler. He loves the color blue. He loves to give hugs and kisses. He is also my little buddy, and gets sad if I don't take him along with me when I go places. He is such a bright spot in our family, and we are so glad to have him be a part of our family!
