Ethans New Bike!!

Well I got Ethan his first bike...well Smart Trike to be precise. I picked it up from Target last week! It changes from a bike I can push from behind into a normal tricycle as he grows older! He really really loves that trike, he laughs constantly. He is also so used to Scott being away on his bike phone he says "da-da' over and over again, not only does he get pushed around in style but he can talk to "da-da" while he does it! :) Just goes to show his imagination is begining to take shape already!!

Ethan all smiles while taking his new trike for a test run! Scott says he is looking forward to taking him to the park in his new trike :)

We have a tooth!!!

Ok so the picture doesn't show the tooth but it shows the happiness behind it...lol :)

Well Ethans First tooth cut through on June 22nd, 2008...an important day in history..ok not so much but I have been waiting for what feels like forever for this to happen. I have blamed countless restless nights on his potential teeth, looking for an excuse for his behavior but to no avail. No we finally he got his first tooth and he was not even that bad...go figure. He was in pain two days before it cut through but was a pretty good boy for the rest of it!

This time when I told everyone I thought Ethan was teething I am sure they shrugged it off as "the Mum who cried tooth" (Boy who cried wolf)....but he got one, he really got one this time!!! I will take a picture when the tooth is fully exposed and I can get my little man to take a big grin picture like the one above again!!

His second tooth is nearly cut through now as well.....If I had to guess I would say tomorrow will be the day! So its all happening now! I waited 8 and a bit months for one and now they all come...ha ha!

Spoiled By Mom!

Well My Mom (not MUM - she is a Canadian..they spell it differently) has sent two very LARGE packages from Canada.One box was predominantly for Ethan. He got Spoiled big time. She sent him:

~26 Outfits

~2 Sheet sets

~Toys

~Baby Einsteins Bowl and spoons

~Blankets

~A Olympic Canada Jumper to support Canada in the Olypics in Beijing this year!

My Mom always wants to spoil Ethan, and Mom I really appreciaite your efforts. At this rate I will not have to buy any clothes for Ethan myself, as I have enough in quantity and sizes until he is 2 LOL. I am also very happy because she has excellent taste in baby stuff and it is all very cute and I would pick it for Ethan myself!

The second Box that I received yesterday however was spoiling Scott and I. My Mom sent Scott a couple shirts and a Team Canada Ice Hockey Jersey, oh and a "Canadian Eh!" Stubby cooler. Of ourse since Scott is away he doesn;t know about this stuff yet! My Mom sent me an 80GB Ipod :) I was very very happy with that. I also got heaps of Body Shop Supplies....I will smell nice for the next year (not that I don't usually smell nice..LOL) and candles and OMG Ketchup Chips...if you are not from Canada you will not understand but 4 years without them was rough. One thing my Mom sent was a beautiful crystal ornament that was engraved:

"Daughter- you have grown into the person that I'd always hoped you'd be,
and not matter what you do in life or where your future lies, Know that I will
always love you and be by your side."

I thought that was beautiful to be honest made my eyes water a little! So yes my Mom spoils us and it makes me feel nice to know she cares and wants to dote on her first Grandson!

Thanks Mom!

Oh and when I picked the parcel up from the xpress company the man who served me was very , might I say over friendly. He started talking to Ethan touching his hands and being playful with him. He was also interested in where I was from (asking way too many questions, about my husband, ect) and offered to take the package to my car.....ummm I don't know what to say. Maybe he was just a very nice person....its sad now-a-days we tend to think people who are being really nice are weird! Unless he is creepy and took note of my address then I am freaked out!!! I wish seeing nice people was ordinary and you didn;t have to wonder!

Our Second Happy Anniversary!

A picture of Scott and I on Our Wedding Day June 17th, 2006

Well today is our wedding anniversary, we have been married for two years now! I am so happy to add another anniversary to our list of what we hope to be a long one, leading up to our Golden Anniversary! It is unfortunate that Scott can not be here to celebrate with me but we will save the celebrating for next week when he gets home, I am really looking forward to having him back! It is surreal that 2 years have gone by since we originally 'tied the knot'. We have so many happy days since then and hope to have many more to come! Since getting married we have created a beautiful home together and added a 'plus one' to our family, our son Ethan James who is now 8 months old! We have discussed more children and who knows, perhaps by our next anniversary we may have added another member (Watch this space) LOL.

I think we will go out for dinner at the restaurant we went on our last anniversary; Pee Wee's On The Point. It is an exceptional restaurant with great food and a beautiful atmosphere, it is right on the beach after all! Get home open a bottle of Champagne, and have a nice evening while Ethan sleeps soundly (hopefully). I have a couple little gifts under my sleeve for Scott, just sentimental things which I think he will like.

Well all there is to do now is wait until my man is home.....I wish I could make time go by faster!

My First Attempt!

Well this is my first blog attempt so hopefully someone will want to hear what I have to say and be happy to hear about myself and my family!!

Today I woke up to a beautiful happy little boy! He is all smiles in the morning which I love it presents a great start for everyday! I got him dressed in a beautiful outfit my Mom send to Ethan from Canada. I received one very big parcel on Wed last week and another one will arrive today. Ethan will definitely be a spoiled little boy! I took some pictures of my little man talking and playing with himself in the mirror...very cute if you ask me!

Well my 2nd Wedding Anniversary is tomorrow, but my husband is away for work so we will have to celebrate a week late which is a little bit of a bummer but we will make up for it!! I will celebrate with Ethan instead! I really cannot wait for the day when Scott has a job that see's him home more than away, it will be wonderful. I end up missing him way to much when he is away!
