Aunt Kristen & Uncle Andrew

We heard Aunt Kristen and Uncle Andrew quite a bit this last week because our nephew Ethan came out with my dad and stayed with us for a few days. I was so happy to have him out here with us. When Ethan was just a little guy I lived in Vegas with them, so we've always had a great relationship. I love that he knows and loves his Aunt Kristen! It was great making more memories with him that he will maybe remember one day since he is older now. And it was fun seeing what parenthood will be like for us! :) 

Since I was teaching summer school still, I brought him with me so he could go to the kindergarten group. He loved being at school and had a great time making new friends.
All ready for school!
 Since summer school only went from 9-12, we made sure to really spoil him the rest of the day! First we went to Trafalga and went mini golfing and then played games in the arcade. It was so funny mini golfing with him because obviously he doesn't quite understand it all the way. He would run from hole to hole not really caring if he got his ball in the hole or not. I'm not sure if he liked the actual golfing more or looking at the fish they had in the ponds. Regardless, he looked like a little stud golfing!

climbing on anything he saw!
looking/trying to scare the fish haha


I had been telling Ethan for awhile before he came that we were going to take him to the water park. The night before we were going to go, I took him on a walk down to look at them. He was so excited. When I woke him up to get ready for school he told me he dreamt all night about going down the water slides. He was so excited that Andrew took him down to the pool on the scooter! So funny.

Unfortunately it wasn't too hot at the pool so poor kid was always freezing after getting off a slide!
He absolutely loved going down the slides on the tube. He screamed and laughed the whole way down! Right when we got off he would say "Let's do it again!!!"
We love this kid so much!

Can't have a pool day without Dip n Dots!
Even after being worn out from being at the Water park all day, he still wanted to climb any and every tree we saw while walking home. He sure has a lot of energy!
Cutest little monkey!


After seeing how much Ethan loved the water park, I wanted to take him to a different splash park. Luckily it was in the 90s so Ethan never got cold and loved every minute of it.




He had so much fun

He kept showing me this move how he swims like a fish haha
93 degrees and swimming for hours will do this to you! I don't hear this often from Ethan but he came up to me and told me he needed to rest for a minute. Definitely not like him :) Even though he was practically asleep, he didn't want to leave yet!
I promise we fed him healthy food too...not just ice cream!

Ethan's last night I told Andrew that he should go get the mini cooper and take Ethan for a ride because Ethan thinks they are Monster's Inc cars. Ethan got his shoes on while Andrew went up to get the car. I waited outside with Ethan and wondered why it was taking Andrew longer than usual to come pick him up. When he came down, he had Monster's Inc music blaring out of the car. It was so funny!! Ethan was so excited. He had the biggest smile on his face. Andrew is seriously the best. I would have never thought to do that. Ethan is lucky to have such a fun uncle and our kids are going to be the luckiest to have the best and most fun daddy! And I'm so lucky to have him. :)

Uncle Andrew let him poke his head out of the sunroof!
Ethan got so spoiled and had so much fun that he didn't want to leave! I asked him what shoes he wanted to wear on the airplane and he said he wasn't going. We had to take them to the airport at 3:30 AM. It was a little mix of waking up so early and not wanting to leave but he threw a fit when I told him he had to get out of his PJs and get dressed. He cried and cried and saying he just wanted to stay for a minute! haha. We sure do love you Ethan. We had so much fun with you! You make us laugh so much. We can't wait for you to come back out in August but with Teigan! We miss you already!!
