hangin' out at home

just a peek into our everyday life... caroline loves the aquarium gym (thank goodness!!!), and she's really working on rolling over. ethan eats, sleeps, and breathes basketball and cars right now. i could get rid of all of our toys with the exception of his bball goal and a tin box of cars, and i don't think he'd care one bit!

i love this picture!
i think it's the first one w/ both of them happy!

ethan was trying to make caroline hold the toy...
he kept saying, "get! get!"

"well, if you're not gonna chew on it... i will!"

sweet hugs...

caroline is grabbing things now

shoot! shoot! shoot! awww
check out the video if you haven't already...

this is pretend play for ya...
pretending the toolbox is a basketball goal,
and pretending the basketball goal is a road :)

"football, football!"
(we're workin on it...)

sunday best

here's our little man ready for usher duty. :) right this way to the thumb sucking section... ha. ethan loved wearing this coat and tie to church last sunday. with his haircut, he sure did look like a little man. we went to olive garden after church, and somehow, he made it out with a whole breadstick. it was quite hilarious to see him tromping out of the restaurant waving his breadstick. tammy said it would be a perfect olive garden commercial (in which they should announce that soup & salad is NOT a lunch price on the weekends!!). by the time we made a quick stop at lowe's and then drove home, the breadstick was the equivalent of a very teethed teething biscuit!!! yuck!!!! i wanted to take more pictures before ethan's nap, and i knew my only option for a smile was to leave the breadstick in hand...so there ya go.

"ethan, take your thumb
out of your mouth for mommy, please..."

well, he technically obeyed. :)

breadstick for president

cutie patootie, as nana would say!

fuzzy wuzzy...

i really put off ethan's haircut this time around... he was lookin' pretty shaggy!! he actually sat wonderfully still while aunt kristie worked her magic. besides the occasional mouth full of hairy o's, he didn't object! i figured out that the key is to take him outside and get allllll his energy out before the haircut. :) click on the haircut picture and see JUST HOW MUCH HAIR is covering his clothes. he looks a bit like jacob tricking isaac into thinking he is esau...

picture pages, picture pages

my mom does the cutest digital scrapbook pages with photoshop elements, and it just hit me that i could post them on here! (hope that's ok, mom...) here's a few that she's done lately...

caroline is 3 months old!
