little things

well i just wanted to write and tell the little things ethan has done that just melt my heart. From day one he loves his dad and knows him very well. when ethan came out and was taken to away to help him breath. cameron walked up to him to talk to him and watch him. as soon as he started to talk to ethan, ethan stopped, turned and looked right at cameron. it was like oh there you are i have been waiting forever to see you. a few weeks ago we blessed ethan. during the blessing my dad looked to watch him and when he did ethan was staring right at cameron as he gave him his blessing. Ethan has already started to fit into his 3 to 6 month clothes, it makes me so sad. he is supposed to stay little forever, but i am excited to see him grow up and be like his daddy. James E. Faust said, "Being born as women brings to you many endowments that are not common to men and therefore make you unique." What a cool quote. it helped me realize what a big part i play. I love being a mom and being able to have the blessing of having children. being a mom is one of the happiest times in my life and i would never trade it for anything in the world.

One lived

Here are the pictures of the girl that lived. She is doing good and seems healthy and Shaylee gives all her attention to just this one little puppy. She has plenty to choose from when she eats too and doesn't have to fight anyone for it. Ethan also seems to like the puppy. Its his first one that he was able to hold.

Well, Shaylee had her puppies and there is good news and bad news. The bad news is that 2 of the 3 puppies died. The first(boy) died, the second(girl) lived, and the third(female) died. We were sad but at least Shaylee gets to take care of one of her puppies. Thats the good news. We have pictures of all the puppies. The first set is the male(that died) and the second set the female(that died). Ill post the other pictures up top cause they won't fit on this post.

Got him to smile and talk!

K here is one where I got him to smile a little and talk to everyone. This one was taken this morning during conference. Hope its a good one to see how much he has grown and changed since our last posts of him.

Ethan's baby blessing!

We just had Ethan's baby blessing yesterday and had a lot of family over for it. These are some pictures of his little blessing outfit which was a little to big for him(he hasn't quite grown into his muscles yet). The one with all the kids are the Fransen side of the grand children. Almost all of them anyway. We are missing little Nicholas and Sidney.

Trying to get him to smile!

He usually smiles a lot when I do this but I think he was too hungry and concentrating on eating my finger instead.
