Ethan had a pretty fun summer!! It started by going to San Francisco in July for a family reunion. Ethan got to fly on his very first airplane. He did surprisingly well. When we landed in Oakland, we drove to San Fancisco where we got to ride
on a big
boat to Alcatraz!! It was a really fun experience.
After that we did alot of other tourist things, we went to Fisherman's wharf, China town, and than drove to San Jose where we went to the Winchester Mansion. We spent a couple of days in California and spent alot of time with family. We had so much fun! In August, we went to the zoo for the first time for PaPa's Birthday. Ethan had so much fun, he was in awe the
whole time. He loves
animals!! Jason's birthday
was the beginning of Sept., and Ethan and I got him Rock Band and Wii. Ethan loves playing the drums! A couple of days later, our friend Jenny brought Ethan an early birthday present. He loves this zebra. Once he learned how
to get on and off on his own, he played on it forever. He is so cute and smart!! After opening his present, we went to the Utah State Fair where Ethan played tons of games and won tons of toys and he got this pimpin cowboy hat. He had alot of fun, but eventually he got tired and we had to go home. That is pretty much Ethan's summer.
In between all of this fun traveling and going places, Ethan started walking!!! He is so good at it too, it was like one day he just decided he could walk, and he just took off. He cracks me up. We love him so much!!
We had Ethan's party at a park by our house. The weather ended up being icky so I thought it was going to ruin everything. I wasn't able to put the balloons out and most of the decorations up, but other than that it was so much fun. So many people showed up. We had a huge barbecue with tons of food. The kids were able to play at the park, and we also had a blow up bouncy house and pinatas.
It did start pouring rain at one point, but luckily we were under a covered pavilion. Ethan got so many presents, 
I couldn't believe how spoiled he was. He is just so well loved! Ethan got his very own cake. At first he was a little hesitant, but eventually he was diving in, and there was no taking the cake away from him.
He made such a mess, but it was so cute. He is such a big boy now!!
