Ethan's Blessing Day!

We blessed Ethan this past Sunday, June 1st. Unknown to us that it was stake conference weekend when we set the date and since all Joel's buddies were coming in to town...we decided to bless Ethan at home. It was a really sweet blessing.

Ethan looked so handsome in his little white blessing outfit. He also wore a pair of booties that his late Great-Grandma Palmer crocheted (she passed away on March 30th) along with a blessing blanket. Here are picture of Ethan and his grandparents...too bad I forgot to take a picture of him with his parents!!!

What a lucky kid to have three sets of wonderful Grandparents who often ask to babysit for free!!! I guess Joel and I are the lucky ones!!!

Like Father like Son

Need I say more???

Our little slugger

Jenna just wrapped up her first season of t-ball and she did great! I am so proud of her and very excited that she likes to play baseball so much. Fast-pitch softball here we come! She is a natural little athlete and loves to play first base. I think because that is the only position that gets constant action with 5 and under t-ball. She was one of two girls on the team and had a great time playing with her two cousins Garrett and Hyrum. Not only did she play well but she looked so dang cute doing so. Great job Jenna! And I can't forget that Jenna also graduated pre-school this last Saturday. She is dressed like a pirate because the graduation was pirate themed. She wore the hand-made (by my mom) pirate costume that I wore for Halloween when I was 7. I told her that it was a "serious pirate costume" and she kept telling people later that day that it was "serious." I just wish I had remembered the camera at the graduation.....

Which child sleeps through the night?

Tell me what you think...which child sleeps through the night...

BABY D:

He is 16 and a half months old...OR

BABY E:

He is 5 weeks old...................

And the answer is.....................BABY E!!!!

That is right...Ethan has slept three full nights in a row!!! Unfortunately his brother has not and needs to learn a thing or two from his baby brother. Anyways, I am so happy that Ethan is such an even tempered little guy who likes to sleep, a lot! Drew is rowdy and sooooo hyper some times so I feel blessed to have such a great baby. Of course I feel blessed to have such a little entertainer as well with Drew...he is very funny and keeps me running. I was going to say "on my toes" but running is more accurate. Here are some pics that my sisters have been nagging me for of Ethan and Drew wanted to get in on the action too. I have never seen a toddler actually pose for pictures but Drew does.

Notice how he has a little "beauty mark/freckle" above his lip...the exact side and spot of his mom's...it is pretty funny.

The time finally arrived and Ethan Campbell McCombs joined our family on April 18th at 7:35am. He weighed in at 7lbs. 14oz. and was 19 inches long. He is a happy and healthy little boy who loves to sleep...thank goodness. We are so happy that he is here and a part of our family!

Ethan's first bottle...thanks Daddy!

My sweet little kids...I love them to pieces!

Did I ever mention that Jenna is the best big sister ever...well...she really is! Drew just adores her as well.
