Snowmen

The kids had fun making a snowman

Baffled

Even though Ethan was talking in sentences at one sometimes I still can't figure out what he's talking about. For days he's been asking to wear his dragon pants I'm thinking he doesn't have any pants with dragons on them I racked my brain and still couldn't figure out what pants he was talking about. The sadest thing about this is he tells Alex (my 5 year old nephew) to wear his dragon pants the next day and Alex says "O.K." of course now I'm really trying to figure out what dragon pants are (I never thought to ask him to show me what he was talking about until now) the next day Alex came over and was wearing his dragon pants. As soon as Ethan sees him he says "hey Alex I like your dragon pants" Me: "Oh jogging pants"

Monster Trucks

Eric and Ethan went to see the MONSTER trucks

Ethan's favorite was the nija turtle truck

He waved his flag to show that he was on grave digger's team!

This was all he talked about for days and if you ask him about it he'll tell you all about it!

Happy Birthday Caleb

I can't believe that one year ago I was going to the hospital to have you. I was so nervous waiting for surgery and then they bumped me back, but daddy and phone calls from anxious friends helped to calm my nerves. I went in and came out a mom of two boys we were so happy. Caleb has brought so much joy into our lives, it seems like he came to us yesterday yet it feels like he's been here forever.

We Love You Bubba Happy Birthday

Surf Side Beach

Our Second stop was Surfside Beach to see family, it was the first time Eric's family met Caleb. We had a great time and the kids really hit it off.

Ethan, Nick and Caleb

Ethan and T!

We love Nick's rain coat! His mom lovingly called him the Gorton's Fisherman.

The Man Chairs

Caleb really did enjoy this ice cream, little did we know it would send us to the ER to find out that he has yet another food allergy PEANUTS.

The Aquarium

We couldn't talk Ethan into touching the crabs but Caleb had
no fear.

Thanks for the boost T!

Ethan couldn't wait to see the sharks

Caleb loved to watch the fish too!

MagiQuest

Larry, Tyler, Eric and Ethan went to Magiquest to play an interactive video game, Ethan got a magic wand and went on a quest to find the hidden jewels and rescue a princess.

Ethan had a great time and can't wait to go
again!

The Zoo

we went to the zoo and had fun feeding the animals. We got a kick out of this horse!

It was so cold but that didn't stop Ethan from wanting to go swimming
