ethans first birthday party!

we had a racecar theme party for baby ethan. it was so much fun and we are thankful for everyone who came! he got spoiled and hated his cake and ended up staying up until almost midnight. i think it was the best party a one year old could have! watching this little boy grow up and turn one is a-mazing! what more could anyone want then to watch something so little and innocent grow and learn and light up when he sees you. happy birthday first birthday ethan! (more pics of the actual day to come...)

Our labor day weekend looked like this..

Feeding the ducks.













Dancing the night away at Swiss days.












Enjoying the chocolate chip pancakes Dan made us.






And a long bike ride to the random springville animals.

I'm sure glad we have Ethan to help document our holidays and such, because really how cute would a picture of Dan or I stuffing our face with pancakes be. :)

Benny and the jets

Tonight we went mini golfing. And I lost by 9 points. Ouch! Afterwards we randomly drove up to squaw peak to watch the last of the sunset. Fun night with my two boys!!

Big week for baby boy

A couple weeks ago baby Ethan learned how to do this


And got his first two teeth


..all in the same week. Go baby Ethan!

ethan's first chocolate chip cookie. mmmm.......

River rafting

Sadly I didn't get many pictures but this last weekend we headed up to float the snake river. It was gorgeous. Seriously, it's breath taking up there. We had a blast. It was dans first time and he loved it. We definitely can't wait to go again. And to take Ethan.. in about 5 years.

dinosaur museum

we had a fabulous time at the thanksgiving point dinosaur museum today. we had to take advantage of the two dollar tuesday. although a bit crowded, it was really neat to see the exhibit. ethan had so much fun playing in the dirt, such a boy!
