Ethan's 1st Ice Cream Cone

You can tell by this post that Ethan is our first child!!! Today we ate lunch at the Soup Plantation. When we were done with lunch, Ethan got his very OWN mini ice cream cone. He LOVED it! There were even sprinkles on top!

Here he is eating it from the bottom up
He did a good job! Not too big of a mess.

Ethan meeting his favorite celebrity...ELMO!!!

Today we met the Geetings at Hollywood and Highland for a morning with Elmo and his friends. We visited Sesame Presents The Body which was like a little hands on museum where they kids could learn about their body and of course, meet Elmo. Ethan was in heaven when he got to sit on Elmo's lap. We had to wait in the long line three times so that Ethan could get his Elmo fix.

Playing with Hayden

Tonight Hayden and his parents came over for dinner. Ethan and Hayden had so much fun playing together...even though they were playing with the most annoying toy ever made! Thanks for a fun evening guys!

Today we went over to Dylan's house to play. Ethan and Dylan ended up watching Sesame Street on his sister's princess couch. So cute!

Pismo Beach Part Two

Today when we woke up we headed to San Luis Obispo and walked around their cute little town. When everyone was ready to leave beautiful Pismo, we left and went to State Street in Santa Barbara to shop. Then we stopped in Ventura and ate dinner at the Busy Bee Cafe. All in all it was a great trip with great people. Ethan had such a great time and misses his Aunt Peaches!

Pismo Beach Part One

Today me and Ethan left for Pismo Beach with some of Dan's mom's family that were in town from the east coast. We had such a nice and relaxing vacation. Ethan LOVED playing in the sand (I believe it was his first time). He had so much fun running all over the beach.

Here is my handsome little man

Jade & Mike's Wedding

Today was Dan's sister Jade's wedding. Ethan had the privilege of being the Ring Bearer. He did such a great job! He strolled down the aisle this time with the Flower Girl. They were both 1 1/2. Ethan took a quick nap during the ceremony after his duty was done and then he was ready to party at the reception. I didn't realize that we had such a little party animal on our hands. He was the first one on the dance floor and the last one to leave it once the reception was over. He seriously danced the whole night! He loved the photographers. Whenever he would see one he would do his "cheese face" for them. All in all it was a fabulous night! Congratulations Jade and Mike!!!
