Birthday, Work, California

The sun is out and the weather is amazing!We have had so much fun in California. It has been so nice to take a break from the busy schedules and relax. We have done so many exciting things. Ethan has loved every minute of it. He loved crawling around on the beach and playing in the freezing water. He is so big now. We took him to The San Diego Zoo and Wild Park. We also took him to SeaWorld he loved all of the animals so much it was so cute to watch him get so excited. One animal in particular though was not on his likable list. Dan and I wanted to watch the whale show and it was quite hot so we figured we would sit in the splash zone. Little did we know this splash zone showed have been called the SOAK zone. Ethan was not a fan of having water flung at him and screamed. After the whales stopped he loved them so we had to get him a stuffed whale to help him remember! The zoo was fun. It is huge and took us 2 days to walk through. There are so many things to do there.

We also went to the festival of flowers where we got to see tons of cool colored flowers.This is hard to see but they had an American flag made out of flowers. It was really awesome.

I have been a slacker in posting so this may be long to bring you all up to date. Ethan turned one on April 1st and had such a great party with all his family. He loves his wagon that Mema and Papa got him. ( aka Dan's parents)
We got him his own car's cake to eat but he really had no interest in it until we showed him it was edible. Then it was game over.

I have recently begun my community health internship and am loving it. I work for a company helping people with disability's. They are all so sweet and it is a very rewarding job. Although I do enjoy it I miss spending time with my little guy. Brandi has been so sweet in taking care of Ethan and I know he is in good hands. He loves little Emmitt. We have been so blessed to have her help us out.
I am so looking forward to this summer as school has ended and I can relax. Well sort of I will still be working but at least no school. This semester I have pulled off a 4.0! I was so excited. only to more semesters and I am home free.

Life is good! We love our neighbors and I have recently picked up coupon shopping thanks to my neighbor. It is awesome to get great deals and to save money.
