Random Pictures

These are just some fun random pictures from the past couple weeks!
This picture is so funny! Ethan got caught in Richards wallet!


Who me???
He was all grins once he realized that he was not in trouble. I was more worried that he started to crawl up the stairs than the wallet!

I caught the best look on Derek's face! I love his dimples

What a cute boy!

I never thought I would be saying this but my parents got a DOG named Baxter this week! He is so cute and gentle!

He seriously LOVES my Dad. As soon as he gets home Baxter follows him around!

I just liked his smile in this picture!

Derek Demar Snyder

This last Thursday my sister Adrianne and her husband Steve had a baby boy! He was 8 lbs 3 ounces and 21.5 inches long and what a CUTE CUTE baby he is. It was so fun to go down and see them!

Grandma Page, Derek and Hannah

Hannah stayed with my parents this week while Adrianne was in the hospital recovering, so after we left the hospital we went to the park. Hannah had so loved running around!

While Ethan loved chilling in his car seat!

Hannah wanted to do a grumpy face for me

On Saturday we were able to go to Richards niece Lilly's birthday party. It was good to be able to get together with the whole Smead Crew! This is Richards Dad, Rob, and his other niece Sarah.

Lilly had a princess themed party and she was quite the princess!

A Snow White cake!

After the birthday we went to the hospital so we could see Derek again. This was the first time Richard had gotten to see him.

This is just a fun picture of Hannah! Grandma Page curled her hair and she looked so pretty!


By the end of the night Ethan was tired!! He fell asleep laying on my moms side like this!!!

Why is it so Quite??

I have learned lately that if Ethan is being quite, there is usually a reason why.... Well today he was being a little too quite! I came into the living room to find he had opened the diaper bag and emptied the whole thing. Not to mention found his Ritz crackers and taken a bite off each one!


The little stinker himself!

His sneaky little face saying " what did I do something??"

Count them... One two ( on top of each other) three and FOUR crackers!

All the bites of crackers

Parties

That past couple weeks we have had some fun parties! Starting with Hannah's 3rd birthday. There is this song out called " It wont be like this for long" by Darrius Rucker and it talks about how kids grow up. I can't believe that all the sudden Hannah is three. She seems like such an adult by the way she talks and acts but I can still remember the day she was born!

Then last weekend Grandma Audrey threw a baby shower for Adrianne. Mom and Grandma and Hailey made some great food and desserts and Amanda, Hailey, Amelia and I did the games! I can't even believe that in one week we will have a new nephew!!!
Hannah was so cute opening her presents!
She would get so excited!

Grandma Page and Grandpa Wes made Hannah this shelf and the letters out of her name! It was so cute!

Her birthday cake!

Hannah loves blowing out candles!

Isaac found the drums from rock band and was rocking out

We gave Hannah a dress up outfit with a wig for her birthday and Ethan loved it!

Hannah looked adorable in the outfit!

For Ade's baby shower Mom made these for people to take home!

Grandma took care of the center pieces! They were cute!

Table One!

and Table Two!

Hannah was a big helper with opening presents

All the sisters afterwards

Hailey, Ade and Grandma


I have been dying for a picture of Adrianne's Belly! I LOVE IT!!!

New Eating Experience

Because of Ethan's allergies our doctor had postponed having him eat baby food until we had gotten them more under control. A couple weeks ago we were given the "go ahead" to get the food going and after two weeks of gagging, spitting up and force feeding I am proud to say he is getting all his foods in! He is such a stinker! At one point he would gag himself so bad on pears that he would throw up, but now he LOVES them!
On another note after yet another allergic reaction Richard and I have decided to not have everyone (including us) kiss Ethan's face and lips anymore! Today we were all eating some homemade croissants (which were glazed with eggs) and, not thinking about it, giving Ethan lots of kisses. Well needless to say his lips swelled up and luckily after giving him Benadryl his swelling went down. But as my mom and grandma pointed out I was like a chicken with its head cut off. So to save Ethan from a reaction and me from a mental breakdown we feel its best to avoid kisses on Ethan's face! Anyway here are some fun pics from Ethan eating :)
Coleman and Amanda gave us this whole cute jazz outfit to me for my birthday last year! Richard LOVES IT!
Not sure about this face....

If you look close you can see his two bottom teeth!

He loves to play with his hands. While he is eating I try not to say good job to him otherwise he starts clapping and wont stop!
