After the park we went to Henry and Elli's house so Bre and Ethan could play with the dogs. They love tug of war!!!
Ethan fell down...lol...Bama is a lot stronger than he looks!

Ethan fell but got right back up for more.


Bre doing her hand stand...she has come a long way with her tumbling and is really good at it.



More tug of war...Sasha got so excited that she jumped up and licked Bre. She is a very energetic and friendly dog.





Breanna and Ethan walking around the lake at Lineville Park with corn...turns out that ducks and geese do NOT like corn and prefer bread. The corn was Mickey's idea...LOL
Bre is such a pretty girl...so photogenic!

Ethan LOVED the seesaws!!!


As you can see, it was a picture perfect day! We had a great time.



One last attempt at feeding the ducks and geese a bite of corn...he nibbled but was not in the mood for corn that day. Next time we will for sure bring some bread with us.

Wow...I can not believe it is already March 2011~
Where has the time gone? And who replaced my sweet little angel with this terrible two monster? Just kidding...not really...well kinda....sorta....LOL
Ethan is definitely ALL boy and ALL Morris.
He loves trucks, tractors, and Mr Potato Head. He loves to color and paint. He is not much into finger painting....he needs brushes...or so he tells me if I do not get them out first.
His favorite tv shows (yes I said tv shows...I have to get a break some time) are: Sesame Street, Elmo's World, Blue's Clues, The Backyardigans, Little Bill, Mickey Mouse Club House, Special Agent Oso, and Dino Dan.
He loves animals...especially Henry & Elli's dogs Bama, Roxie, and Sasha. He loves to feed the birds and put corn out to feed his deer. Last count he had around 10. He is very independent and not a day goes by that I do not hear "let meeee do it mommy" at least ten times. He wants to do it all for himself and gets really mad if you do not let him.
His favorite foods right now are: popcorn, pretzels, jelly beans, chocolate chip granola bars, cucumbers, carrots, salad with lots of dressing, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, hamburger with no "sauce" as he calls it, ice cream cones, and every kind of fruit I can come up with. Everyone keeps telling me that he is so small and I need to make him eat more. Problem is that he just does not like a lot of junk food. He would choose a salad and a piece of watermelon over anything in the junk food category. I say if he is healthy and gaining weight like he should then I am going to leave him alone and let him discover all of the junk food later on in his life. In the mean time, I plan to feed him as much of the good stuff as he will take.
He is still ready for a baby to come along. He said he will help feed it and pick up the "pappy" when baby drops it. Now if only I could talk him into the 2am and 5am feedings then I might could be swayed into that direction.
Okay....rambling a little bit....or a lot. Better get off of the computer and go to bed because there is no more sleeping in with this little chicken!
Riding the ferris wheel for the first time. He loved it and had to ride it 4 times...Darlene rode twice and I rode twice. Did I forget to mention that I had to close my eyes and cover my face for my two spins??? Horrible motion sickness...that is all I will say. Luckily Ethan did not get that from me.
We went to the beach and he loved feeding the seagulls. And as we found out, seagulls love FRUIT LOOPS!!!

He enjoyed his daily walk on the beach.


My cute little "Kris Jr"....



Blonde hair, blue eyes, little boy in overalls with his "tosey toes" in the sand...heaven on earth!





Too much Christmas candy!!!
Our first white Christmas...Ethan loved it!!!

Ethan telling me about the snowman he was going to build with Daddy. Wish I would have
gotten a picture from the back...my lil bear had a snowy white bottom where he took a nose dive/face plant combination and rolled down the hill.


Henry putting the Lincoln Logs together as the house shown on the box because Mom could NOT figure it out.



Relaxing before Christmas dinner with a little puzzle time. In the end, countless hours were calculated as being spent on this 1000 piece puzzle....which we later found out was actually 994 pieces. 6 of the pieces were lost to some sticky fingers we think....never to be found again. Sorry Nana....





Race cars...all boys (and grown men) like racing right?
Ethan on his new trampoline.

By far his favorite Christmas present....some wooden peg toy (think Cracker Barrel) that he
said was his "Hannukah toy"...so we spent half of Christmas day doing just that. Thank you Special Agent Oso for introducing my two year old to new things.



Ethan checking out his stocking...
