Happy Birthday Ethan!

Happy Birthday Ethan! I had made banana muffins yesterday so I used that as a morning cupcake. They were okay but while I was making them I realized we didn't have any eggs. So I went online and found you can substitute 1 tsp of yeast and warm water for 1 egg. So that's what I did. I also substitute oil in replace of butter since we are all out of that as well. They weren't that bad, not the best. I just got side tracked here. So this morning I stuck a candle in a muffin and me and Sophie sang to Ethan, twice. For each muffin he had. Sophie wanted a turn too so we did it for her as well. I can't believe he's 4. Man the time goes by fast. Today we went to the school so I could take care of some things. While we were in line Ethan stood by me so well, and listened the whole time, and the line was long. He also was so cute with his pennies I gave him because he went to the vending machine at the school and he was trying to use his pennies to get something. I was in line with Sophie. Since I couldn't get out of the line to help him with his problems he went to a lady sitting close by that was smiling at him. He has always been a friendly little guy. He asked her if she would get him something. She came up to me and told me after she talked with him a bit, how sweet he is. He is such a good little guy and I love him. He has a ton of energy but has so much love for everyone. Happy Birthday my little Ethan boy. I love you so much!
I C you. Ethan loves to make glasses when I take pictures now. Goofy little guy.
This face is him trying to be mad at me while I make him laugh by asking him "why are you mad?"

My little brother Josh. He's not so little now, look at how taller he is to me.

By request a picture of me. Sporting my nice tanned skin from all this summer fun we've been having. We didn't go to the beach (probably on Friday)this week but we were still in the sun. Went on another walk to go hunt for my keys. There and Back Again (a hobbits tale by....) It was about 1 1/2 miles I would guess, total. Sophie on my back and Ethan walked the whole time because he is a stud! We had fun even though we left a trail of sweat the whole way. We've gone to the park a lot this week. Mainly because they have that free lunch for the kids everyday and I guess it's easier to do that then go home and scrounge the cupboards for food. So we go to the gym and then to the park. A some what routine we have.
