3 and 8

August 25th Ethan turned 3 and we had a big cul-de-sac party with tons of friends and family.  We played carnival games and had cotton candy!  My friend Courtney has a machine and she came and made it for us.  It was so fun.  The kids had a blast.  I decided to have a big party for Ethan but also because it was the end of the summer and we wanted to have a big party anyway so this was a fun excuse.  Ethan did really well considering there were seriously like 50 people here. 
Tyler did a smaller party last week (his birthday was September 19th, turned 8) with some of his friends and they went bowling and did bumper cars.  It was great fun as well.  Here are some pics. This morning Ethan said a few funny things like usual.  We saw a hot air balloon over by smith rock behind our house (we can see Smith Rock from our back yard!) Anyway it was at breakfast and the boys were eating and they saw it.  Ethan was so amazed and wanted to know what it was called so we told him it was a hot air balloon.  Well he now tells everyone all day long that we had an AIR HOT balloon in our back yard this morning!  So cute.  Right after that we took the older boys to school and they all three ride their scooters.  He jumped up on a curb just like the older boys do but he had to stop and tell me that he had "just GRINDED!" He learns all these terms from the other boys like "grind" and "table top" and "tail-whip".  I am not totally sure what some of them are or how they learned about them but Ethan doesn't miss a beat that is for sure.

Ethan's 8, huh? Wow, time flies;)

So the parties look awesome. You're putting my non-existent party planning skills to shame.

P.S. Savanna is still talking about Ethan's "airplane poop" that he did on the houseboat. She thinks that's pretty awesome. Now if only she'd do a little airplane poop of her own on the TOILET, we'd be happy.
