Our Trip To Concord Mills Mall

Have you ever seen a Moose at the Mall? If you are at the Bass Pro Shop you will! Ethan loved being inside this store, where he could see a ton of animals everywhere. It was like walking around in nature without being afraid.
We took some time to shoot the gun at some targets, at the shooting arcade. Ethan was really excited to aim at the red dots and make the shot with Daddy. It was so cute to watch Ethan be so serious with Lance at making the target.
Ethan could have stayed inside this one store all day, especially when we made it over to the fish tank. They even had a man cleaning the tank, which entertained the kids.
I know that Ethan had a blast looking at all the different fishes in the tank. Just check out that BIG smile!
Of course the mall even had a Choo Choo Train that you could ride on. Ethan has never been so excited to do something before, so we got on for the ride. He got to choose which cart to sit in, so we sat behind the conductor. He really loved the train and was happy the rest of the day. He is our big boy!

Snow Storms 2010

Finally we got snow on January 31st. It was so pretty and right at 4 inches it was just enough to have fun in. We spent most of that Saturday and Sunday since church was cancelled outside playing. Ethan Loved it!

We made homemade sleds out of underpinning of my moms trailer. It worked great, we all took turns holding Ethan. Then my mom sat him on there all by himself and away he went. I am so glad that I got pictures and video of it.

This picture is of Ethan looking at all the no-w aka snow he could not say snow. Ethan could not wait to go and touch it.

We had so much fun sledding from the top of our driveway. The only thing was there was no way to stop. Ethan was not scared he just kept saying more, more to do it again.

I wanted to get a picture before we went inside to warm up of Ethan on this log with our dog Izzie. We got her in January and she is now about 12 weeks old. Ethan sat on the log but she would not be still long enough to get the 2 of them in a picture. Over all it was wonderful to see how much fun Ethan had in the snow this year.

CHRISTMAS 2009

Lance made wonderful pancakes for us on Christmas morning. They were so yummy! He is the BEST! Ethan is also cooking something in the kitchen with daddy....or getting in the way, but it was cute to watch them together.

Every year since I was a kid we have always went down to my Aunt Grace's house on Christmas eve and this year was no different. Ethan is always the entertainer of the night, since he is the only toddler running around. He gets SO much attention from his cousins, great aunt and my dad/ grandaddy. But this year I got the best attention from Ethan, it was a huge hug, it was priceless. All of a sudden he ran up and laid one on me. I am so glad that Lance had the camera ready.

Look at the bubbles everywhere in the kitchen! Ethan got a train that blows out bubbles (tons of them) he loves it. When he opened this present he said pop pop. I am so glad that we decided to get it for him even though they make a wet floor ,but it is worth seeing him get so excited.

My mom and pa pa came over to give Ethan his gifts that Monday before Christmas. Ethan is always so happy to see them, but when he opened the baseball stand he was super thrilled. Lance had to hurry and put it together so Ethan could play with it right away.He loves to play the wii baseball game and now he can play for real. To be only 2 years old he is really good at hitting the ball. I think he may be pro one day!!


My mom also got Ethan this guitar that makes really cool sounds. Ethan loves to hold it like a rocker while someone holds the wii guitar and rock out together. We had a super Christmas this year and have been truely blessed. We love you all!
