Ethan's 12!

Our Ethan Jack is 12 years old!  It is really hard to believe!  He is such a good boy... very imaginative... notices everything... loves details... wants to be a pilot someday and loves everything about planes... was so thrilled to graduate from Primary and receive the Aaronic Priesthood and become a Deacon... misses his big brothers and his nephews!... 

We are so lucky to have you as our son!  We love you!

Ethan's Birthday was a busy day... 6th Grade Graduation and the traditional Dance Festival

Even my "friend" Thurl Bailey was at the Dance Festival! (His kids go to Ethan's School!)

Then a big Birthday Party... Bowling, Pizza and Laser Tag...oh my!

Then James, Ethan and I got up early Saturday and drove to Hill Air Force Base to the Air Show.  Ethan was in heaven seeing all the airplanes!

 Do you see those dark, looming clouds behind the Thunderbird Planes?.... The heavens opened and the rain poured and poured, the winds blew and blew!

 So... what better to do than hide out in a B-52 Bomber with a few hundred other people to try to wait out the weather... doesn't Ethan look thrilled? We were wet and frozen... but the rain wasn't stopping, so we headed out to try to find our car.  We ended up at the grocery store on base to try to warm up and dry off...and sent Dad to find the car.  What an adventure none of us will soon forget!

We made it home in time for Ethan's haircut!  Thanks Cailie for making sure it wasn't too painful!

We are so proud of you Ethan!  You are a wonderful young man and we expect great things from you!
