{Happy Birthday Ethan!!}

On Monday Ethan turned 5! He has been looking forward to his birthday for a long, long time! Here are some cute pictures of Ethan from the past....

Ethan's hair was so blond it looked like he was bald until he was 2 years old!

Ethan has always been great at climbing things, and fitting into small spaces ;o). He always finds the best hide and go seek spots.

He has always loved balls and sports....he is very competitive!

Ethan is very social, he loves playing with friends and would do so every day if I let him!

He always makes us laugh...our little comedian. This is him being a merman sliding down our stairs.

He is very sensitive, and when one of his brothers is sad he tries to cheer them up. A few weeks ago when Rhett was sick with a migraine Ethan came up with an idea to put a diaper on to make Rhett laugh.

Since Ethan is home with Kade while Rhett's at school, they have a special bond. Every morning when Kade wakes up Ethan gets his pillow, blanket, and lion from his crib and arranges it for Kade on the couch....even tucking him in. What a good big brother!

For Ethan's birthday he got a lot of fun things. One of his favorite presents is an old school Game Boy with Pac Man and Mario Brothers. He got to open his presents early in the morning before Dad left for work.

Later in the morning he had a party with 9 fun friends. They whipped through the numerous games and activities I had prepared at record speed. I think everyone had a great time though, and Ethan is SO lucky to have so many sweet friends.

Later that night Grandma and Grandpa Flake, Brittany, and Ally came over for Ethan's favorite dinner (Spagetti, bread, jello with whipped cream, and ice cream sandwiches in place of cake since he had it at his earlier party). Happy Birthday Ethan, we LOVE you!!!
