Big time artist.......

Mom got Ethan a colouring book and a big pack of crayons....and yes, he wants to colour everything, walls, floors, me, himself, along with the book!.....like that`s anything new with crayons and kids! I had heard from a fine-arts student at school that colouring outside the lines shows great creativity and abstract thinking.......I`m not sure how that relates to Ethan at 16 months but we will have to say he`s some kind of budding Picasso, or mabye a Schultz...........maybe?! you never know!

I scream, You scream, we all scream.....

Well Sunday was another beautiful day and we went into Peachland for a walk down at the beach and wouldn`t you know it.....they were still selling ice-cream cones!

Ethan hasn`t had too much experience with the stuff but we are pretty sure he likes vanilla, Mom likes pralines 'n' cream and I had some kind of fudge. This could have been the last kick at the cones for the season so we figure we were pretty lucky to get it! Yummy!

Aunty Andrea in Kelowna...

Andrea is back in Kelowna working on her schooling at Okanagan College so we are very glad to have her around for some good family company! She is staying at a friends from Kaslo and not only do they have a big backyard to run around in but an even bigger puppy dog, ....well hardly a puppy..... but it still says"woof, woof!" It will be fun with her here and i`m sure we will have some great stories to post here on Ethan`s page!

Yum, Yum....

We are pretty happy that Ethan likes his veggies but corn on the cob has to be his favorite! His Great-Grandpa Reimer also thought it was the ultimate summer-time treat and who can disagree with fresh corn on the cob?

Well.........mabye Mom as she is chasing behind this little fella picking up the leftovers from the floor! Ethan and I think it`s a small price to pay for such a delicious meal....and I only spill half of what he does so..........

it`s best he gets his veggies!

Thanks Mom!

No matter what you call it......it`s the same stuff!!

We went down to Bear Creek Park for a visit, checked out the bridge construction and walked around the campground. Ethan was cruising around the day park picking up sticks and rocks as well as keeping clear of the Geese and their mess, around here we call it "ka-ka", some call it "do-do" and others just don`t call it anything "good".

Anyways, we were wrapping up our little trip when Ethan picked up a stick? a rock?...no it`s a big peice of .....well you get the picture, at least he is passed shoving everything he touches directly into his mouth!

Busy, Busy........

Well, we have had plenty of company here lately as well as a quick trip back to Castlegar so I will try to get it all in.

Aunty Jenny was here for a week, Aunty Shelley with cousins Alison and Sara were here for a couple of days, Baba and Deda were here for a couple nights, Grannie came for the night, Aunty Yaro, Uncle Dave and cousin Bailey stopped through on the way to Banff, Grandapa Ron was here for a day, Cousin Nick and Jamie camped out in the yard for a night, we saw Grandpa Reimer in Nelson, we visited with Uncle Ken, Aunty Christine and cousins Emma and Maxie, we had a good visit ay Grannie and Grandpa Ron`s, we saw Aunty Tamada and Uncle Sandro along with the soon to be little one, we had a visit from Aunty Lisa and Uncle Kelvin, we got to hang out with Cousin Justin(the original Hi-five) and Megan as well as probably going through the list again once or twice again. Ethan`s been a little sick with a cold the last couple of days so were glad all this visiting was done while he was feeling good!

Whew! That`s alot of action for this little guy...................(or mabye just his Dad!)
