FOUR!

Wow, it seems like just yesterday that I was prego with this little (okay, big) guy!
Believe it or not Ethan turned four today!
It was pretty fun to do a picture review for Abbie, and is way easier to do for Ethan, so here we go. The day of his birth with new big brother Max. He was only hours old here (and was apparently very sleepy!).First birthday hanging out at Chuck E'Cheeses. This year he is having his friend birthday party here too (combined with Max). They're having them on Thursday. Same ChuckE by the way, this one in the picture is in Michigan.Ethan turns two! And loves eating that cupcake!Three years old! This one is at Nana and Pop-pops house here in MI. We had travelled during his birthday and celebrated it a day or two late. These were our first days arriving in the state. Luckily I am not in the picture, I was not as happy as he is.And now my big boy is four! He got a John Deere Buck for his birthday. He has been on it ever since we picked it up yesterday. Thankfully the batteries needed recharging before dinner, we thought we'd have to serve him his birthday dinner while he sat upon his "quad".Side view. By the way, the big kids enjoyed the JD dealership too, it was quiet in there and they got to climb all over the big tractors. Ethan drove this all over the showroom.
One of the features he loves about his Buck is the dump bed. It really comes up and the back door really opens. Right now he is outside helping Jeff carry mulch in his "bed" of his tractor. He thinks he is one hot potato, that's for sure!

Oh, before the mulch (today) he had his first "load" in the bed. Baby Parker and Matt and Heather came down from Chicago to celebrate both boys' birthdays. Parker enjoyed the ride!Gotta run, I think we're going to Kung Fu Panda today. Also the skies have darkened and thunder and lightning has started - so I am thinking to get off the computer.

Hope you have had a happy weekend - playscape update coming one of these days.....
