Gone Fishin'

For the last couple of weeks Ethan has talked about wanting to go fishing. As with all the other ideas that Ethan gets in his head I don't know where the idea came from but finally today Abe got to take him fishing while Taylor and I went to a baby shower. He had such a great time playing and casting his fishing pole. He is such a cutie.
Abe said he kept chasing this poor goose and telling it to get in the water. Just like all the other people that Ethan bosses around, the goose didn't obey either.

The weather has been so nice lately that we have had lots of time outside. Ethan has recently decided that its fun to pee outside. It all started when we were on a walk and he had to go to the bathroom. It was several miles back to the start of the trail so Abe told him he could pee on a tree. Ethan thought that was the most fun ever. He wanted to "water" all the trees along the trail after that. Since then we have found him several times pulling down his pants and peeing against the same tree in the yard. This next picture was the other day on the front porch. Abe and I looked out and saw that he had taken off his clothes and crawled into the pot of water he had been playing in. Oh what he neighbors must think!

Taylor is getting so big. She will be 3 months next week and she is so much fun. She still has her little scowl sometimes but its easy to get a smile out of her too. She has been such a good, easy baby. We have been very lucky.


Today we were driving home and Abe mentioned that when we got home Ethan was going to have to get a bath. Ethan LOVES bath time so it was kind of strange that he started whining really loud and saying "Nooooo". After a minute he stopped suddenly and completely calmly said "Wait, Dad did you say bath? Oh I thought you said nap. Sorry dad." The whole way home he kept saying "Sorry dad." I love it when he apologizes for things. Unfortunately it is usually for things that he hasn't done wrong. For example if one of us kicks the leg of a chair then he will say "sorry mom, sorry mom". He can be a real sweetie. We just love that little boy.

Oh Ethan, you crack me up. I love his little personality. He's a riot. Be thankful for the easy baby. We have yet to determine if Julia will be as much work as the last three.

Okay I love it when you post stories ESPECIALLY when there is a picture to go along. Him inside the pot is WAY too funny. And the bath/nap story...what a funny kid. I love Taylor's little scowl, Audrey some of those too. Taylor is absolutely beautiful. Seriously. The first thing I said when I scrolled down to her pictures is, "She is beautiful."
The last picture of Ethan is adorable and I can't believe how old he looks. He is really starting to look like a little boy and not a toddler. It happens SO fast!

I can't believe that picture of Ethan in the little pot. Too cute. He sounds like fun. And Taylor is beautiful, of course. But I'm sure I don't have to tell you guys that! Will you still be coming to San Antonio sometime? Make sure and let me know when. I can drive up and see you guys.
