The Ducks, The Zoo, and The Farm

I'm sure you're all thrilled to see something besides info about my Twilight obsession. Not that I can say that the obsession is totally gone, but I am finally getting around to updating my pictures on my computer. We've had quite a few fun activities in the last couple weeks so you're going to have a bit of an overload. (I did just notice that all of our activities have been animal related, does that give you an idea of what Ethan loves these days?!)

My mom came down a couple weeks ago and we spent the morning at the park. We had a great time playing on the playground, walking all over, and the best part, feeding the ducks! Ethan loved being so close (almost too close at times) and had a great time feeding the ducks bread crumbs. We had to keep reminding him that the bread was for the ducks and we had other snacks for him. :)
Then we were off to the zoo. Ethan's Grandpa and Great Grandma got him a zoo pass for and early Christmas present. We are so excited for the nice weather so we can enjoy fun trips to see the animals. Here is our first visit for the year with our friends the Allens and the Allens (not related, what are the chances huh?

Our next adventure was kinda out of the blue. We were home last Saturday just relaxing with not plans (those of you who know me know this doesn't happen all too often, I'm kind of a nazi when it comes to having something to do ALL the time.) Anyways, so it happened we talked to some friends who were headed down to Schnef Farms for the day for the Fall Festivities and we decided to join them. We enjoyed some yummy chili and BBQ, watched some pig races, found our way through a corn maze, visited the petting zoo, and our favorite...the Family bikes. It was a really bumpy ride and it was night when we were riding and they kept turning the lights on and off...it was all really fun! :) Thanks Lee's for the invite!!!

Sorry about the belly shot, E really loves to show off his belly button!

Is this not the biggest cow you have ever seen???

Not sure what my face is all about but it's one of the few pictures from the evening that wasn't spotted and Ethan was looking at the camera. Does anyone have any ideas of what the deal is w/ my camera and night pictures? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hope you enjoyed the update! Sorry it took so long...

The Last Two Weeks...

So I'm sure most of you would rather see new pictures of Ethan but unfortunately I haven't taken any recently and here is the reason why.

I know...I'm about 4 years late on catching the Twilight craze but better late than never right? And in the case of this book, definitely glad I got over my "I could never read a book about a Vampire" block and just read it. Probably one of my favorite book series ever and honestly could not put the books down. I read all 4 books in 8 days and honestly would have read them faster if I didn't have to continue with some of my obligations. I even read the beginning of Midnight Sun, Edward's version of Twilight that is on hold at the moment and posted on stepheniemeyer.com because I just couldn't get enough. I've even thought about just starting over and reading them again. If only I could erase my mind and enjoy the suspense all over again. So if you're looking for a good book and haven't read his yet, I highly recommend it. Maybe clean your house before you start, just in case you love it as much as I did. :)
