Long time...no post...

Wow, I have been a major slacker on the blog!

Since my last post we celebrated Ethan's 1st Thanksgiving, took him on the "train of lights", and most importantly Ethan turned 1!!

Okay I am working on blog post to catch up! But I can't end the post with no updates or pictures so here is our big news for today!

Ethan's going to be a big brother this June!!

And in even bigger news..............

We are pregnant with TWINS!

We will have 3 kids under the age of 18 months.....wow!!!

Santa

Ethan's morning rountine....

Destroy the kitchen.....
This is the 1st thing he does every morning! We have locks on most of the cabinets but there are a few we let him play with. He just loves to pull eveything out and if he sees or hears you put it away he will come back and pull it out all over again!

My baby reads!!

Ethan could be the poster child for those infomericals that swear babies can read by 18 months. He loves to read books with us and when he's playing on his own he always goes for the books and starts "reading". We have a genius on our hands and it is definetly from his Mom's side of the family...hahaha!!!

Me messy?

I think not!!

He's walking....almost

Check out Ethan's first steps

Happy Halloween!!

Here's our little monkey!!

He was so much happier without the head piece on

With Grammy. Pappy and Duke

Where's Ethan? It's hard to see him under that monkey head

Pumpkin Patch

Its almost Ethan's first Halloween so of course we had to take him to the pumpkin patch. Not to pick pumpkins but to take some pictures!

Our family!

My sister and her familyEthan was so curious about the pumpkins when we first got there
He lost interest in the pumpkins real fast
Another attempt at a family picture

A's Game

My Dad has season tickets to the A's game so we took Ethan the family to another A's game. We had great seats and it was the game that they retired Rickie Henderson's jersey...so it was packed. Needless to say that made the game hard to watch for Ethan. All the clapping and cheering was not making him happy...so I decided to leave and take him home and let everyone else stay and enjoy the game....too bad I got lost in the parking lot with E and couldn't find the car. So Jeff had to leave the game early too and come home with us....and in early I mean 3 ining...oh well...it was a good attempt...better luck next year, right?

The view from our seats

Ethan and I hiding out from the loud crowd

Ethan playing with Grammy's beer bottle...that was the sign it was time to leave!

Diana and Brian's Wedding

My friends Diana and Brian got married last weekend in San Francisco. It was our 1st (and probably only wedding) in the city and it was truly amazing. The location was beautiful and we had so much fun.

My parents came and watched Ethan for us and they are officially the are new/only overnight babysitters now!!! Yay for us....big mistake for them. Ethan has never gone to bed for a babysitter, he will stay up until we get home (which has been 1 or 2 am some nights) so needless to say Jeff and I were thrilled to come home to a sleeping baby.

Praying for Chevy...

A dear family friend passed away this week from a rare form of cancer. We are on our knees for him and and his family but we know he is in a better place...he will truely be missed!!

We love you Chevy!!!

Baby Abbie

My sister Meghan had her baby girl on Thursday. We are all so excited!! She is so cute and I can't wait to visit again!!

Abigale (Abbie) Theresa Quick

September 17 - 7lbs 20 inches

9 months old

Ethan has his 9 month check up and we got the update on his stats:

Height: 30 inches (90 percent tile)

Weight: 20 lbs 6 oz (50 percent tile)

Head: average...thats all they told us...no numbers on this...

And becuase I can here are some fun pictures from today

He stands!!

He climbs the stairs

And he sleeps "stink butt"...I have been wanting to take a picture of this forever but haven't had the guts becuase I was always affraid I would wake him up...and yes we let him sleep with a blanket and bumper on his crib....whatever it takes to make him sleep!!

Awake from his nap and playing in his crib

"Let me see that tooth...."

"NEVER"....if Ethan could talk that is what he would say to me

He shows us his 2 pearly whites all day long but once the camera comes out this is how the photography session/conversation goes

"Show me those cute new chompers..."

Haha...yeah right!
"I don't think so"

"Hehe..I'll show you who's boss around here"

And here are the pictures from a second attempt

"Good luck getting me to take these fingers out of my mouth"

"okay..force me to remove them..."

"...making me laugh won't work..."
"okay, well maybe but I won't open my eyes!!"
