So Ethan, Taylor and I took a trip with my mom to Myrtle Beach last weekend and we had such a fun time. Ethan has been wanting to see the beach for months and he loved it! He would have played in the sand all day but he wanted nothing to do with the water. It was too cool to get in so it was nice not having to worry about him wanting to get in. The weather could have been better so we didn't spend too much time at the beach but we had a good time. We sure missed dad though, especially in the middle of the night when Taylor didn't want to go back to sleep :)
We spent some time in Brookgreen Gardens in Myrtle Beach and it was a fun time. It's an old rice plantation which was owned by some very rich people that turned it into beautiful gardens with statues. When I was young we lived in Myrtle Beach and I have tons of memories of time spent there so it was fun to show Ethan around. He loved it too.
Ethan got into the statues so I told him to stand on a rock and be a statue. This is what he came up with. Now everywhere we go he wants to find a place to be a statue. The other day he thought standing on boxes of diapers at Walmart was a good place to strike a pose.
Ethan also thought that each of the stands describing the statues were music stands so he would stop and conduct at each of them. Of course we were all instructed to sing while he waved his arms.
I was amazed to see this alligator and turtle hanging out together. You might not be able to tell but these little guys were not in a cage, they were just wild. So needless to say we took the picture and kept walking before mama alligator came looking for her baby.
And the rest of these are just some pictures of my angels. Would all the moms agree that this is too high to push a kid in a swing? But Ethan absolutely loves it!
The other day I walked into the living room and saw that Ethan had given Taylor a pretend piece of chicken and a breadstick because she was "hungry". She was so excited.
And here is a little video of Taylor. She doesn't do anything all that exciting but she is quite a talker these days. It won't be too long before she will be giving Ethan a run for his money.

Another classic Ethan story! That kid is such a hoot. Where does he come up with this stuff?
As for the video, I think you're trying to trick us. It looks a little dubbed to me, kind of like one of those E-Trade commercials.
i seriously might steal that little guy from you guys. he's funny and so adorable. what a personality he has!!! p.s. - why not come to newark for a lovely vacay????
Conducting? Posing at Walmart? Man he is hilarious. Do you just laugh your head off all the time? I LOVE that boy. Taylor is oh so cute and I can't get enough of her. MORE PICTURES PLEASE! The video was a bonus. Love the smiles and jibberish.
I can't believe that you can pull Taylor's hair up!! Lucky. I can't do that with my kids until they are around two.
I love seeing pics of your kids. I second what Leah said..."More pictures please"

Hey Mer - a bow-dabra is this nifty little contraption that helps you make the cutest bows. I bought one at Wal-mart. I bought the mini one (there is a mini one and a regular sized one), and it works great to make hairbows for Leah. It looks lame when you first take it out of the box, but it's really worth it. I make great bows now. The bonus is that it's only like 8 bucks. What a deal!
