Happy Birthday, My Cutie!

Okay, so I was planning on doing this blog while in Texas on Ethan's Birthday (Dec. 24th) but I didnt get a chance to.... imagine that! Anyway, here it goes..... 5 days late!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, Ethan Kohl!!!!

Ethan has been a wonderful blessing to us..... and is the firecracker around the house! I dont think the child stops running around until the moment he finally passes out at night! He will definitely be something else in the years to come.... and I look forward to it. He keeps us entertained to say the least! These are a few thousand of my favorite pictures of Ethan from the moment he came into this world through now..... I had many, many more & it took me forever to narrow it down this much! So be very grateful... this could've turned into a monster of a blog!! ha! ha!

Dylan LOVES his baby Brother!

"This is NOT my brother!"

Handsome Just Like Daddy.....

Cute even when he cries!

Who could say no to that face?!

Like father, like son!

Double Dippin'

Mama Loves Kisses from Ethan!

Bambino Numero Three!

Today was the "2nd opinion" ultrasound day!

This is by far the coolest ultrasound experience ever... the room was HUGE first off! (like 30 people could have come along with us) And it looked like a theater with a GIGANTIC big screen & 2 other screens! WOW! Anywho, back to what we found.... this ultrasound was a success! Literally the baby's bottom was straight up today.... showin' off the goods proudly! While some of you were right, most of you were WRONG! haha.... We are having our 3rd little boy!

And he was not shy.....

Looks like a BOY!

Yeah, it's pretty much official!!!!

3rd time must be a charm!

This is his little profile, and his bottom (on the left)

those are his legs, not his arms s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d

out above his head! Flexible little guy! haha!

He's lookin' atcha!

Can you see it?!

((again, thats his foot next to his head!!))

NO Penises!

So yesterday was the BIG ultrasound day, right?! Well, my doc didnt see any penises the whole time! Woo! Hoo!
Its a girl, right?! haha.... not exactly. The umbilical cord was in the way.... so he only didnt see a penis, because we couldnt see ANYTHING between the legs!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, we are hoping for a little baby girl this time.... However, we have absolutely no idea what we're having!!!! Double UGH!! But I have some good news.... the baby is HEALTHY!
And we are going for a second opinion on Saturday (Dec. 20th) so hopefully this little bambino will be cooperative this time around! KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR US!!

O, Christmas Tree!

So, I got jealous when I saw Tiffani's post about putting up their Christmas tree.....
Well, I decided that even if we are in a dang hotel right now, we still had to stay in the Christmas spirit! So last Saturday we went & picked out the smallest, cheapest tree we could find and a few ornaments to decorate it! We focused on stuff that could NOT be broken by the crazy child in our family....you guessed right if you thought, Ethan just now! haha! So here are a few pictures of the boys helping.....

We tried to tie Ethan up, but......

he escaped & Dylan was our next target!

Dylan helps Chad put lights on

our Charlie Brown Christmas tree!

We didnt have a ladder, so we brought

Dylan to the tree's level!

(I think he's got like 2 feet on that poor little tree)

Ethan LOVES our tree.....

everytime he sees it he yells "tree! tree! tree!"
(isnt that what life's all about.... the simple little joys.)

O, Christmas Tree.....

All finished!

Friday we took the boys to see Santa@ the Park Meadows mall! (by far the nicest mall I've ever been too!) As you can clearly see, Ethan was NOT having it! And this year I had high hopes.... we started showing Ethan pictures of Santa & getting him into the excitement of it all. He would get excited seeing anything to do with Santa! Even saying Santa perfectly! That was up until I sat him up on Santa's lap......

White Days!

Snow! Snow! Snow!
We have been getting snow like you wouldn't believe! Yesterday it didnt let up at all.... it snowed for more than 24 hours straight! BRRRR it was a cold day! And we've had some snow every day since the day after Thanksgiving.... if fact the first night it started to snow I got so excited I woke the boys up (it was past midnight) to watch the snow falling! Dylan practically jumped outta bed & was like "I am going outside!!!!!!" And I let him feel just how cold it was out the window of his bedroom....and we decided first thing in the morning might be a better idea! haha!
So the next morning......

Ready to play...

This is so cool, Mama!

Chad just had to get Dylan started

with the snowball throwin'...

But how did I manage to be the target?!

(was i really taking THAT many pictures?!)

Ethan lost his wawa (pacifier) in the snow.... and

as you can

see he wasn't

too happy!

Catchin' snow on his tongue!

"Snow!!"

My cuties!

Trying to catch some snow too!
