Ethan's 9th Birthday!

Ethan had an awesome birthday this year! He got to have breakfast in bed; French toast, bacon and eggs: We got to have lunch with him at school:

He chose to have French Crepes for dinner with strawberries, bananas, and whipped cream. (his favorite!)

Then it was present time! He got his very own skateboard and ramp:

His favorite gift: Sweet Moula! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Yamada!

Then he chose to have brownies for his birthday cake. Yum-o!

Since Ethan is the oldest in the family, I feel like we put a lot of responsibility on him and we expect a lot out of him. It's not very fair to him, but he really tries hard to live up to our high expectations. He's an AWESOME kid! He is very loving and always loves a good snuggle with his momma or dadda. His favorite thing to do is wrestle with his dad and ride roller coasters. He's one of the smartest kids in his class and has straight A's and gets to go to Discovery class every Wednesday. He loves to read and is trying to get through the first Percy Jackson book. He's already read all of the Wimpy Kid books and Magic Treehouse. He's a great big brother and is always there when his younger siblings need help. It's fun to see this little guy grow up into such a fine young man. I just wish he would slow it down a bit!! We love you Ethan!
