Coloring, Travel Town, and a Birthday

Tanner loves coloring and will walk around with some type of writing utencil throughout the day. He will get out a color pencil from the drawer and say, "color." When Ethan does his homework Tanner is right there ready to draw with him. He LOVES dogs! He is so sweet and loves to hold and kiss his stuffed animals.

Ethan is growing up by the day. He loves to play what we call, Good and Bad questions. I ask him a question about the church and he answers with a yes or no. I will say, "Do we smoke? Are you going to go on a mission?" I will also ask him questions about the church like, "What age do you go on a mission? What is the Holy Ghost? Who is Nephi and what did he do? Where was Lehi and his family going and why?" Ethan's answers are almost always right on and so cute. I asked him what the iron rod was the other day and he said, "You hold it to get the delicious tree." He is a crack up!

We went to Travel Town so our little conductors could ride the trains. Ethan is quite an experienced train conductor and Tanner is a conductor in training. Ethan yelled, "All aboard!" while Tanner said, "choo choo."

This week Jared started two weeks of nights in the ICU. It's gone pretty well so far but it's quite busy. Nana has been so kind to come up a few nights to sleep with us while Daddy has been away. Last weekend we went down to Tustin. We went to Disneyland and rode some of our favorite rides. I love Disneyland this time of year. The boys got to hang out with Grammy and Grandpa on Saturday while I got my hair done, went to the temple and did some shopping. It was a busy weekend but that's how we like them: full of family and fun! Sunday we went to church and celebrated Dad's 62nd birthday. I am so grateful for my Dad and all he has done and still does for me. He is one of the best men I know and I look up to him. I love you Dad! Happy Birthday!
