Happy Birthday Ethan!


Ethan means Strong, Firm, Impetuous

Ethan is my nephew, son of my sister Brenda and her husband John.   
He turns the big 5 today!

This is Ethan boating in Uncle Nielson and Aunt Kristen's boat.



This is were I will demonstrate that his name fits him well.
Here we are stopped for a little swim in the lake... the catcher is you have to get off the boat first.  A bit scary.   But Ethan's Daddy has his hand held out letting him know he is there to catch him.

Dad still trying to convince him that it is okay to get in the water.   Ethan stands firm that he is not going to get in..... Yet.   Notice that Dallin has come up behind him... to give him a little boost as he is holding up the line.


This picture needs no words.   You can tell by the body language of Dallin that his message was not received well.  Ethan is strongly firm.

And with that... Ethan decides he will show him and gets in the water.

As promised, Dad is there.

And Dad never leaves him... All is well.
Happy Birthday Ethan!   Have some cake and ice cream and make a wish.   And give some good smiles for the camera because I want to see your celebration in pictures.   I know your mom will treat us on the blog.     Love you, Aunt Karalene
