Happy Mother's Day...Mommy!!

We had a great day today...donuts for breakfast, cheese shop for lunch, and Panera for dinner!! We took Mommy to one of her favorite places today...Williamsburg...the pictures say it all!! ~Ethan

Up to date for the new year....

Well...I haven't been writing in a long time!! (Since Christmas:(...) I don't know if anyone reads this anymore but my mommy feels bad because Brady's first year is over and we didn't write that much about it. Here is a quick catch-up: Santa came and brought Brady and me lots of toys, then the ear infections started (me first, then Brady)....the new year came and so did the snow...and more ear infections... I learned to write my name in time to make my Valentine's for everyone and Brady started walking on Valentine's Day....then more snow and then strep throat....and then we both got ear infections AGAIN...we have lived at the doctors the past three months...and then finally BRADY turned one and spring is here!!! I hope we turn the corner and we don't have to get tubes for our ears (keep you posted)!! That just about sums it all up for now...~Ethan

I did it this year....he isn't so scary!!

Rain, Rain, Go away....send me back to Aruba today!!!

We had a great time in Aruba this past week....I can't wait to go back someday!! ~Ethan

Happy Halloween...

FRIENDS

This is me sleeping with my friends last night...~Ethan

On the move....

Things seem to be always on the move around here. I am loving pre-school and love going to soccer on Thursdays. Brady is crawling everywhere and eating some type of new food everyday. He loves saying "da, da, da, da" all day long!! I am trying to get him to say ETHAN but it hasn't worked yet, he just looks at me and smiles. I am getting excited about Halloween...I'll give you a hint at what we are going to be...Go Giants!!! ~Ethan

Getting ready for pre-school and first eats...

I turned THREE....

We're still here....

I know I haven't been the best blogger these days. I am just having so much fun with my little bro Brady. He rolls over now and grabs the ball when I try to give it to him. We have been having a great summer...we have visited Grandma, Papa, and Aunt Chris, we went to the beach with Granny, Papa, Uncle Chris, Aunt Angie, Grayson, and Keaton, and we are getting ready for the big day....that is my birthday!! I will be three this year can you believe it....yee haw! ~Ethan

We're getting there....

Things have been so crazy the last two months. My baby brother is still here...I am just now realizing that he is staying!! Don't know how I feel about that....everyday is different. Brady is 2 months old today. He still doesn't do much besides cry, eat, smile, and starting to say "HI" to me (I think he is :)). I am loving this warm weather so I can play outside...hope all of you are too!! ~Ethan

He is finally here...

Brady Lee Conklin (my brother) was born last week March 23rd. He was 8lbs 4ozs and 19 1/2 inches long. He loves to let me kiss him and put his pacifier in when he cries. I wish he was bigger so he could play with me but he is fun to hold now!! Mommy and Daddy are both home this week so we are having lots of fun family time...can't wait for you all to meet my baby brother!! ~Ethan

Wait and see...

Mommy and Daddy keep telling me that my baby brother will be here soon...but I don't know how or when!! So they keep tell me wait and you will see!! We finally go a new computer so I am back in the game. I hope everyone enjoyed the warm weather since now it is cold again:(...I am so ready for spring. We will keep everyone posted on when Brady will be here....March 23rd if all goes as planned. ~Ethan

2.5....
I am now 2 1/2....Mommy is teaching me to say this when someone asks me how old I am. Things with us are going great! Only six more weeks until my baby brother will be here...there is so much I want to do with him. But Mommy and Daddy keep trying to tell me he can't do much at first...I don't get it?? I hope everyone is having a good winter...six more weeks since the grasshopper (aka Groundhog) saw his shadow!! ~Ethan

Home at last....

For the past couple of days we have been trying to catch up from the holidays!! I know I had a great time at Granny and Papa's house and then at Grandma and Papa's house. I did end up with an ear infection but I'm on the tail end of it so I am doing much better. I hope all of you are well and have a great 2009....~Ethan

Go, Go, Go....

We have been on the move since Christmas day! Santa was very good to me this year....I must have been a good boy. We spent Christmas morning at our house and then headed down to Richmond (Granny and Papa's house) for Christmas dinner. We stayed there until Monday and today we packed again because tomorrow we head up to Jersey (Grandma and Papa's house). All this running around has made me not feel so good....so tomorrow Daddy is taking me to the doctor to check my ears out and Mommy is going to the doctor to check on Baby Brother!! Her tummy is getting big....talk to you next year! ~Ethan

It's almost time...

Mommy and Daddy keep tell me that Santa is watching me all the time... so I am doing my best to be the best two year old out there!! We had a lay low weekend at home...all of us weren't feeling the greatest and we knew we should rest up for the weeks ahead. On Saturday we made a gingerbread house and today we made cut-out sugar cookies...more sugar for me please!! I hope everyone is staying warm...enjoy your holidays, and remember he watching you...~Ethan

Will Santa still bring me toys????

Mommy and Daddy took me to see Santa this weekend....well it didn't go so well. I was all excited but when it was my turn and I was to sit on his lap all I could do was call for Mommy!! So Mommy and Daddy didn't get a very good picture but one that they will remember:)!! The other picture is of me watching the Giants on Sunday...nothing better then cheesy poofs and football!!! ~Ethan
