Ethan is 7!!

Ethan turned 7 last week. We had an Indiana Jones party at the park. It was a sweltering 100 that day. The first day of the year for 3 digits. I was so thankful to the parents that actually brought their kids. It's a good thing that Ethan's friends were a bit more resilant than their parents in these situations. We had to freeze the cupcakes before the party that way they would last until we sang Happy Birthday (last year his cake melted in the sun after only 5 minutes).

On Ethan's birthday Grandma Jean came over so we could all go out to eat at the restaraunt of Ethan's choice (CiCi's all you can eat pizza buffet) and cake and ice cream (or rainbow sherbert).

One of Ethan's favorite gifts were these Mario Kart toys that Daddy found on the internet. Half of them are missing wheels and heads now, but, boy were they fun for the next day or two!!

Ethan no longer has to wait in the wings and watch over his brother's shoulder as he played his DS. He FINALLY has one of his own. I don't think we heard a peep out of the boys for 2 days after this photo.
