1 year pictures
We finally had Ethan's 1 year old pictures taken...we were just 4 months late...but they turned out so cute! I love them!! My friend is starting a photography business and she is so good, you can check her out at www.michelesunseriphotography.com.
Here are a few of our favorites








Okay so I know you all want an updated belly picture, I will take one tomorrow. I am huge (don't be fooled by the pictures above)!! At my last doctor appointment I was 25 weeks but my belly measured 35 weeks (This means my body thinks I am 35 weeks pregnant not 25 weeks). I am now 27 weeks and I will most likely be measuring 40 weeks at my 29 week doctor appointment. So consider yourself warned when you see the insanely large belly picture.

And then the next day was Easter. The weather did not cooperate for us. It was cold and rained in the afternoon. But we had enough time in the morning to sneak outside for a quick Easter egg hunt. The Easter bunny came to Grammie and Poppy's house and left the boys an Easter basket filed with toys and candy (for mommy and daddy of course!).

So happy to have found an easter egg
but he wasn't sure what to do with it
Jeff started using his hood to collect the easter eggs while Jake kept trying to fit all his easter eggs in his bucket

Santa Barbara
We made our 1st family trip down to Santa Barbara a couple weeks ago. We anticipated Ethan doing awful in the car so we planned stops every 2 1/2 hours. The way down to SB wasn't too bad but the way home was awful!! A 7 hour car ride and he slept for 20 minutes, even the DVD player wouldn't make him happy...and he we all know Bob the tomato makes him smile every time.
Jeff had to work most of the trip so Ethan and I hung out during the day. We went to UCSB and got him a sweatshirt. I never thought I would go back to campus pushing a stroller and looking 9 months pregnant....I can only imagine what I sight I was!
Our trip was only a few days but we managed to see a lot of friends and visited Jeff at work. Ethan got to meet all his co-workers and destroy their cubicles (he loved that part).
We took Ethan to the beach as 1 of our stops on the way down to SB. He wasn't too sure what think of the water and sand but he seemed to like running around.

Happy St Patty's Day!
We are loving this beautiful weather and Ethan has been able to play outside every afternoon the past couple days. We got him a bubble machine and he loves trying to catch the bubbles, it is hilarious to watch him run around in circles trying to get the bubbles. Here are some pics of him playing today.
After bubbles we went to the park to play and run around. I tried putting him in the swing first and he was not happy about it. He wanted to be where the big kids are and climb on all the play structures, which gives me a heart attack because I am afraid he will fall off the top where there are large openings in the play structure.
