Another Great Weekend! (Utah)

Let me out!


Ethan found his talent this weekend, he is going to be the next Bethoven!


And you thought the airlines were strict about checking luggage. Ethan got through without a problem! (He climbs into the suitcase all on his own)


I am so excited for and proud of Kristina!

So here we are back in Utah. Kristina's wedding in just a month away and I (Matron of Honor) am here to ensure the bride is happy and everything is perfect for their special day!

We had dinner with Grampi on Friday night. Ethan & I always love spending time with Grampi. I am still such a Daddy's girl. Saturday we had Kristina's bridal shower. Jenna (Maid of Honor) did an absolutely beautiful job. Kris got a lot of nice things for her new kitchen and we all had a lot of fun. Last night we had a fun night with Maddi, Meme, and Papa. Today we went shopping with Kris to get things for their house. Then tonight Marilyn (Papa's Mom) made a wonderful mexican dinner.

p.s. Ethan's rash is gone!!!

The Rash... My Arch Nemisis

The Rash... I forgave it for intruding on our lives yet it just can't leave well enough alone.

This morning Ethan's evil rash has reappeared. HELP! I don't know what to do. If I take him to the doctor again I am just going to get frustrated and leave with the same answers I wasn't getting before. Just wanted to let everyone know that the stupid thing is back. Please say a prayer that it will leave and not come back!

Wonderful Summer Weekend!

Doggie Kisses are the best!

Ethan got Hoot in a good headlock!

Cutest little naked baby! Pretty sure he is going places in the modeling industry;)

Ethan and the Bear were worn out after this weekend!

Had a wonderful weekend. We played with the dog, went to the pool, took lots of baths (which Ethan thinks is his own personal pool), took lots of naps.

Upgrade!

A sneak preview of the new me! (and that is all she wrote)

THE RASH!

THE RASH! These pictures are mild, the more outbreaks he had the more his skin looked bruised and yellow. Docs call is Erphyma Multiforme (EM). EM was going to be the death of me. On July 14th Ethan had his first outbreak. After 5 more outbreaks and 4 trips to the doctor I think we have overcome this evil rash. What caused it you ask... a virus or an allergic reaction to a medication. It can last anywhere from a couple days to a few weeks. Our sweet Ethan gave it the full run! I am happy to report.....

Ethan, looking like he just got caught by the paparazzi, is happy and almost completely rash free today! I am not sure if this is the end of EM for us but I know I love seeing is beautiful skin again.

A funny side note. Ethan had a thing for blonde nurse with large tata's. When the male doctors or nurses where around he was mad and crying. When the blonde bombshells came around he smiled and didn't even cry when they drew blood. What a tough guys ;) HAHA!

Foolin' Around!

Ethan & Mommy

Last night I pulled out the camera and we goofed around a little bit.
