With Rouses in Hawaii, Ethan had a slow Sunday at Papa's.

Last Saturday we got to go to a wingnuts baseball game. At first Ethan wasn't sure he liked the crowd and the noise but after a while he decided it was OK.

Ethan found a way to entertain himself too:

We found the hinzman family there and sat with them.

I was trying to get a picture of these two, they weren't interested.

Me and My Honey.

We were glad to share the night with the rouse family.

Then he also saw this Lighting McQueen Roller suit case and gave it a try to.

We didn't leave with either product,but after a few tears all was well again.

A Imapct on my Life.

2010-12-23T22:11:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago at work I walked in to a patients room An older women her name is Esther and she had some music playing on a little radio she had brought with her, She had worship music going so I commented about it. She said O you know these song's? Then she smiled at me and said you have something special about you, What it so special to you? I told her God, my Husband and My son. She said you have a special son don't you? I told her O YES in so many way's. As we continued to talk I shared some of my story with her, Although I feel as she got it out of me without me realizing it we talked for a little while at the end of our conversation she told me God conquers all for you and He will never see you how you think you're seen, Along with a few other things she said, I needed to get back to work so I told her good night. Well this last Tuesday at work I just got done with my break and was working the desk I turned around in my chair just as I sat down and she was standing there, She looked at me and said Hello Mandy, do you remember me? I said of course I do. She continued to say that God had put me on her heart ever since that Night, not only my but also my little boy, and she said that she reached in her bag and pulled out a gift and said this is for your son, a little boy who I know one day will do greater thing's then you know of. WOW! First of all I was shocked to see her or that she remembered me but also that she found me at work, I work the Float pool and I am always somewhere different everyday, she said she asked around till she found me, Also a neat thing is she came on a Tuesday night and I never worked Tuesday night's but this week I did cause of the Holiday. I thought what a God thing. So before she left she hugged me, I did ask her how she was doing and she then told me that the test did come back positive for cancer but yet she has never felt better. She as definitely made an impact on my life I do hope I will see her again. So this season Please keep Esther in your prayer's and I hope that this will remind us that you never know who's life you will make a difference in even if you don't know it.

Ethan with the gift a couple of Hermie and friends movies!

M&M'S and

2010-11-13T18:58:00.000-08:00

I brought this bouncy sit up from the basement to clean it and take it to mom's for Jonah to use when he's there. Ethan decided he would take a trip down memory lane and be a baby, even had the fake crying going on and want me to give him a bottle AKA his sippy cup. It was so funny.

Catching M&M's in their mouth, well Ethan kinda cheated.

My Mother's day Gift

2010-05-09T16:19:00.000-07:00

The best gifts are the ones that make the tears flow. And they did flow. I love my Guys.

Para Mi Mama

Sometimes I might upset you
Because I can flip the house upside down
In less time that anyone else can
Because I always get dirty
Especially right after you cleaned me up
Because I always do something I shouldn't do
Or because I leave my little finger prints
Everywhere I go, mostly on the walls

But every day I grow a little bit
And one day I’ll be big
And you won’t have to clean me anymore
But until then, just count to three
And then take a really deep breath
Because you know that it will happen again
But I will say sorry and then I’ll kiss you
And everything will be ok again

Because only you have the love
And the comprehension that it takes
To put off with me when no one else can
So keep these little pictures close to you
To help you remember
Just how big my love for you was
That time when my heart was so small
Te amo mom

Sunday night we went out to the berning's for a while. They have these train tracks behind the house, we didn't get to see a train go but Ethan was obsessed with the tracks, He would keep going up to the fence yelling choo choo, so Daddy finally took him down to see, he loved it.

He loved that daddy sat him up on this one.

He loves his trains... This last picture is my favorite.

Waiting for the bus

Walking to the bus.. he was Excited at first.

Getting on...then quickly realizing we weren't going with him.

This is the last face I saw, He looked at me like, How could you do this to me.

Yesterday afternoon events.

2010-03-30T07:30:00.000-07:00

After Ethan's nap he had a Popsicle. Lots of Popsicles.

Papa came to help Jonathan with the yard, Ethan was Happy to see him and Max.

For lunch he had some egg drop soup.

He really wanted to go out with the guys while they were working, I let him sit on the steps. By the afternoon he was acting fine didn't seem to be in any pain, Although the pain meds did make him a little hyper then usual he acted like him self. I couldn't believe he felt so good, it surprised me. I am glad he did well.

With some help from My Dad and Jonathan's dad Bartolo they got the grass planted, I can't wait for it to come in.

Then we got a little help from one of the guys working on the house next door, He removed the dirt we had left in the drive way, this was great saved the guys lots of work and time. Ethan liked the, what he called Tractor. The guy Even honked his horn for him, He thought that was cool.

Thanks to Dad and Bartolo for all your help!

Ethan's Surgery

2010-03-29T08:35:00.000-07:00

Ethan had to have a new set of tubes (this will be his third set) put in today and also have his adenoids taken out, Hopefully taking the adenoids will be the problem solver for the ears. Everything went good and Ethan did Great! He is a Trooper.

He was fine until they brought the Bed back for him, He didn't want anything to do with that.

He didn't want the gown on either but daddy calmed him down with the blanket.

Waiting for him to wake up.
Trying to keep him calm and assured while waking up.

On the way home.. He thew up a little. Back home, Still gave me a smile.

I am sure this is what he'll be doing most of the day.

Playing outside.

2010-03-24T09:47:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was such a beautiful day Ethan got to play out side. Although he may love all the dirt I can't wait till we have grass. But he did some ridding on his four wheel, Since we don't have a fence yet he just kept going and going.

And he played a little soccer. He's getting good at running and kicking together.

Then he got brave and climbed up a huge dirt pile next door, Once he got up there he didn't feel so brave anymore.....

So daddy rescued him. Thanks Dad!

Boy's Jamming at the winter Jam.

2010-03-22T22:44:00.000-07:00

Sunday night we went to the Winter Jam concert. It was a lot of fun. In this video Josiah is singing along with Tenth Avenue North, I didn't really catch it but if you look in the corner you can see Jacob singing along also, And Ronnie too, but we all did some Rocking out of our own, Especially when Third Day Come on. They were AWESOME!

This is lead singer from Third Day with the lead singer from Fireflight singing Born Again.

Bowling.

2010-03-08T19:45:00.000-08:00

Jonathan and I both had the night off so we took Ethan bowling. It's great when we get to do things like this together. Ethan really liked it..

He tried rolling the ball and then he tried with the help of this thing I don't know what you call it. He did a little of both.

YAY! I liked the celebrating after he went.

Three Years ago...

2010-03-08T07:28:00.000-08:00

Three years ago today this child(who we named Ethan) came into my life. At the time I don't think I could fully comprehend the way he would change my life forever. As he has grown I couldn't feel more blessed to have him as my son. I love watching him develop his own self and personality. Even when I don't feel like I'm being the best mommy, he is the most loving to me, even if he doesn't really know what his little kisses and hugs do for me and he doesn't know what I'm feeling it reassures me I am doing OK. I can't wait for what the next year will bring for us. And as he grows older I know the challenges are just starting but this little guy will always be special to me in a way that he will never know. I am thankful for what God as done and what he will continue to do in my life to be the mother and wife he wants me to be. Every day I pray that Ethan will grow to love God and serve everyday. I love you Ethan, Happy Birthday.

Ethan's 3rd Birthday Party.

2010-03-07T18:06:00.000-08:00

Daddy made a cool banner for him. He liked the train on there a lot.

We even had balloons with is name on them.

And of course there was cake in the face.

He was very excited about his toy story cake.

I'll have more later off Dad's camera.

Random pics from the week.

2010-03-06T18:04:00.000-08:00

Ethan was in his room playing, when I went to see what he was doing, This is what I found

doing his favorite pass time playing with his trains, I don't know why he has that head band on but he wouldn't let me take it off. He even wore it to grandma's too. So I thought a picture was in order.

He also found this somewhere and wanted to wear it. He left it on all night acting like the Karate kid. of course he doesn't know who that is but that's what it reminded me of.

And at the first of the week he decided to show his artistic side, at least he was at grandma's for that one. When I would ask, What's on your tummy, he just pulled is shirt up and laughed.

Ethan can now reach just about any drawer in kitchen. He has just started getting in to them the past week or so. Earlier to day I caught him in the kitchen with about 4 to 5 pieces of gum in is mouth, He had got the pack open that was in there. And just tonight I caught him expressing his artistic side on the dishwasher, the trashcan and a little bit on the floor. Even though he got in trouble, at least he picked a spot the cleaned up easy with a magic eraser.

My First day.

Yesterday was my first day working at Wesley. I was a little nervous but by the end of the shift I was doing great, even doing a round of vitals and answering calls on my own. When I got home Jonathan and Ethan surprised me with Beautiful flowers, and some of my favorite ice cream from Ben and Jerry's.

I was doing some cleaning in the kitchen today when I heard Ethan Crying a little so I went to see what he was doing. I was a little speechless at what I found, I think he used his red chair to climb up there. He smiled when He saw the camera, but wasn't smiling much once I was done taking the picture, yes he got spanked. I just can't believe it didn't tip over.
