Talking to...and feeding the camel at the petting zoo at Pendergraft Park. 

Talking on the phone at the Fort Smith Museum of History.

Riding in a covered wagon with Grammy.

After a lunch, a nap, and daddy's return from golf, we went to see the DINOSAURS!!  The event took place at the Phoenix Expo Center. 

 I don't know what kind of dinosaur this is, but I'm sure Ethan can tell you.

 Pretending to be eaten by a T-Rex!

Baby Shower Times Three

Baby Shower #1:
My sweet sister (Leslie) and fabulous friend (Suzanne) threw a baby shower for the upcoming arrival of baby Clara.  Here are few pictures from the event:

 Tasty treats - tea, lemonade, angel food cake and strawberry skewers, cupcakes, dipped rice krispie treats, cream cheese mints, raspberry dark chocolate meringues, and melt away cookies.

Clara the Catepillar book that all of the guest signed!

Precious dress (with matching bib and burp cloth) made by Suzanne.

Clara's first swimsuit (purchased by her Aunt Leslie of course).  Perfect for the pool and our trip to the beach this summer.

Sweet dress....this girl will not be naked!

Baby Shower #2:
A surprise shower from my Bunco Group.  It was my month to host.  They showed up with cupcakes and gifts...and Ann and Nikki cleaned up my kitchen while I opened presents. It was a wonderful surprise!

A stack of clothes on the left with lots of goodies.  What you don't see is a huge bag of diapers from Kay that her grandkids outgrew.

Baby Shower #3:

Another surprise....this one was from the amazing people I work with. 

Cupcakes, punch, homemade mints, and presents! 

Little diapers made from napkins filled with "baby" themed mints; made by Kerry.  So cute!!!

Christmas Preparations and Christmas Day!

Completed Ginger Bread House!

Making treats for our neighbors.  Ethan kept eating the pretzels!

Christmas morning....checking out what Santa left.

Christmas Day with cousin Mason!

Showing off his new tennis shoes! 

Sporting a new rain coat and rain boots while talking to Wills and showing him how to ride his (Wills') new bouncy cow.

Church Christmas Program

This year Ethan performed in his first Christmas program.  The 2 year olds sang "Happy Birthday Jesus" with some help from the 3's, 4's and 5's.  Ethan is 3 years old, but is techinically in the 2 year old class because of his birthday.  Next year, he will be a donkey with the other 3s.

Big Brother

Ethan is preparing to be a Big Brother. 

 Baby Hurst is due May 10th!

Fun Filled October....Halloween Party!

The Johnson's and the Vick's hosted a Halloween Party for the kids! 

Super Ethan!

Flying around the yard!

Trying on someone's costume!

 Wrap the mummy!

"Poop the Pumpkin".  Ethan didn't get the concept of carrying it between your knees and dropping it in the plastic pumpkin, but he had a great time running it back and forth!
