Ethan Holding Baby Bennett

A couple of weeks ago Trish, a friend of ours, brought her two kids over so that Ethan and the older child could play. This is Trish's other child and Ethan was excited to hold him even if he doesn't look that excited in the picture.

New Hair Gel?

Ethan enjoys making mashed potatoes and playing with them more than eating them. We couldn't resist laughing after seeing him put the mashed potatoes in his hair. We think that he learned this from his Uncle Alan.

Making Mashed Potatoes

Ethan enjoys doing anything that involves using the mixer or beaters. He asks Mommy nearly every day in his cute way, "Make cookies?" We had fun making mashed potatoes on this particular day.

Fixing the Computer

A few weeks ago, our computer died on us. We'd had it for 5 years so I guess we should not have been surprised that this happened. Ethan really wanted to get in on the action. Cory had a hard time putting the new parts in because Ethan wanted to help but was really kind of in the way. We love this stage that Ethan is in. He just wants to help his mommy and daddy and do what they do.

Boston Children's Museum

Boston has a great children's museum. We decided to get a membership this year so that we'd have something to do in the winter. Ethan has a blast every time we go. These first two pictures were taken in a room that is devoted to bubbles. In addition to making bubbles, Ethan tries to splash everyone with water too.


This room is filled with all sorts of contraptions that the children can put golf balls in. Ethan could spend hours in this room.

The museum is located right along a river. It's a beautiful area, and the view is spectacular.

Pre-Halloween Fun

On the day we bought Ethan's Halloween costume, Cory thought it would be funny to put him in it and give him a banana to eat. What a cute little monkey!

Ward Labor Day Beach Party

One of the advantages of Boston is that we live close to the beach. The beaches may not be the best in the world but on a hot day, we couldn't care less. On Labor Day, our ward hosted a party at the beach. Ethan sure enjoyed the surprisingly warm water.

Makeup Artist

On many occasions, Ethan enjoys watching Mommy put on her makeup. On this particular day, Ethan decided that he was tired of watching and ready to take action. Not bad for an amateur.

Chillin' with Daddy

Ethan and Cory enjoy hanging out in the bed on Saturdays morning. What cute boys!
