Welcome Ethan

I know this post is 6 months late, but I just learned how to do this. Better late then never!

Who would have thought that we would have three children. I couldn't image life without them!! On January 4th, 2007, we welcomed Ethan into our lives. He was born 7 lbs. 15 oz. 21 inches long. Ended up having a c-section with this delivery due to his breech position, but we all made it through just fine. Spent four days in the hospital after the birth and was eager to get home to see Maddy and Ryan.

The kids were so excited when we brought Ethan home. Ryan kept trying to poke at him and all Maddy wanted to do was hold him. They are both great with him.

He has grown up so fast. Six months old now and he has quite the personality. He has just started to sit up by himself which make it nice for both of us. I don't have to hold him all the time and he feels like he can be part of what everyone is doing. He is a big boy weighing in at 21 pounds. He looks more like a nine month old.

Disneyland 2007

Call us crazy, but we decided to take a trip to Disneyland with a four year old and an almost 2 year old. It was a blast. We left Flagstaff, dropped off Ethan at Grandma's, and headed west bound toward Disneyland with Madisson and Ryan. The kids did great. They watched movies, slept and played games the whole way.

We arrived in California late that evening, just in time for all of us to get to bed and get ready for a busy next day. Ryan had a blast trying to pull the suitcase from the truck to the hotel. He did it though... he has gotten to be so independent!

The kids had a blast once we were in the park. We soon realized that we should have brought a double stroller, but we managed to rent the strollers they have at the park. We went on every kiddie ride you can think of. They met all sorts of Disney characters, watched the parade and watched fireworks.

After a long days at Disneyland we decided to take the kids to Newport Beach. Although we didn't stay long they had a great time. Beautiful sunset, a little chilly, but fun for all.
