Memorial Day Weekend at Higgins Lake!

Ethan takes eating his orange icecream seriously...wonder who he gets that from?

This guy! Grant had blue teeth and lips!

Fun with his buddy Pierson!

Ethan is a killer baseball player! No need for the tee anymore!

Dirty boys = Fun!

Thank you so much Gallaghers for a wonderful weekend!

Ethan's best friend

Who needs a toy when you have a 7 foot stick?

Ethan played for an hour in our yard with a 7 foot stick. No other toys out in the yard, just him and a stick! Musical instrument against the fence, "tickling" the tree and pole-vaulting!

Dinner or sleep?

Mother's Day Fun at the MSU Butterfly Garden!

A message to Ethan..."Ethan, my handsome, may life bring you many wonderful doors of opportunity to open!"

Some science-nerdy talk is even allowed on Mother's Day!

Mr. Discoverer!

Mr. Enthusiastic!

Orange is one of Ethan's favorite colors!

A moment...just a moment...with Momma!

Home Depot Mothers Day project!

I'm going to stick to taking pictures of them from behind!

Buddies!

I am in love with this picture that I happened to catch. Now this is love while sharing a cookie together. Ethan loves his buddy/cousin Matthew and life would not be the same for either of them without each other. May we all be thankful that both of them overcame their medical issues!

Hunka Hunka Cowboy!

Purchased this hat at a rummage for a 25 cents and Ethan loves it! It's just like "Unkul Bruuce!"

Pouting caught on film!

Yardwork!

Grant likes to sing "Masters got us workin!" Guess who the "Master" is? He secretly loves yardwork!





All tired out by the 3rd trip! The store employees were impressed that he helped the whole time!

What are Aunts for?

Many of you know the infamous red radio flyer bike that Ethan has been riding in our house since about 1.5 years old. Around and around he goes in our open floor plan. Well, the front wheel has completely been worn out with the casing splitting open. The back wheels are on there way too! The funny part about all of this is that the bike has NEVER hit pavement! I called for replacement wheels (all 3) and the new wheels would have cost just as much as a whole new bike. So, I was going to get him a new one, but shortly after the phone call, Aunt Sherri called to say that a new front wheel has been ordered and its on its way because it wouldn't be "his" bike if you went ahead and got him a new one! Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled! Thank you Aunt Sherri!
