Ethan's Blessing

We blessed Ethan the first Sunday in November. I know I'm a little behind with my postings but I'm trying to catch up. So I had to post some pictures of Ethan and his beautiful blessing outfit. Charrisse, of course, made his outfit. It turned out so good and he looks so cute in it. We had a great day, Spencer gave him a great blessing and Ethan didn't cry so that's always a plus.
We made sure and got some pictures of Ethan before Church. We learned that the hard way, with Eli's blessing day we were in such a hurry we thought, "Oh we'll get some pictures of him after church, no big deal" and that never happened because he had a blowout in the middle of the meeting and it got all over his blessing outfit! Sadly, we never got any pictures of Eli in his blessing outfit.
So, with Ethan we made sure and took lots of pictures right after we dressed him.
I had to post this picture of Charrisse, I love it!! LOL!!

4 Generations in the Fuhriman Family

Ethan and Daddy. This picture was taken at the end of the day and Ethan was so done with everything, as you can tell he's not very happy in this picture.

Roly Poly

Ethan rolled over for the first time right before Thanksgiving. I wasn't even home, Spencer was home with the boys that weekend, I can't believe I missed it!! He rolled from his back to his tummy, then discovered he didn't like that much, so he doesn't do it too often, he would much rather roll from his tummy to his back. Doesn't like to lay on his tummy much. Here he is in action- just like a pro!! He's so darn CUTE!!!!

Trick-or-Treat

Trick-or-treating was fun this year. It's the first year Eli really got into it. He went out last year but he never said trick-or-treat and he didn't get super excited about the candy like he did this year. Eli wanted to be an M&M and it had to be the green one. As everyone knows the green M&M is the girl character which means we couldn't just buy the green M&M costume because all the green costumes had long eye lashes and sexy eyes- I didn't think that was appropriate for my little 3 year old boy. So with Charrisse's guidance I made his costume-not too hard. I think it turned out pretty cute and Eli really liked it.
First we went to a Trunk-or-Treat, Eli kept wanting to go back to all the cars that we had all ready been to-like he didn't get enough candy the first time around. Ethan is dressed as a little monkey. He wasn't too excited about the hood part being on his head and he fell asleep while Eli was making his rounds.

This is Eli getting ready to go out trick-or-treating that night in our neighborhood. We went to about 15 houses and then he was done. He was so tired from all the excitement all day long.

Halloween Party

Our annual Halloween party was great-as usual! Sterling made pizza, we carved our pumpkins, then we frosted sugar cookies and made caramel apples. We had 15 pumpkins and they all turned out really cute, we couldn't choose a winner for best pumpkin because they all looked so good.

Pumpkin Patch 2009

We went to pumpkin patch this last week, we wanted to go early this year to make sure we got a couple big pumpkins. Usually we wait till the last minute, like the day before we are going to carve them, and then there is nothing good left, only small or smashed up pumpkins. This year we got some great pumpkins. Eli could have cared less about picking out his pumpkin he just wanted to race around in the wheelbarrow and try and do some tricks. We're excited for annual family carving contest-pictures to be posted later. Have a Happy Halloween!
Spencer had to compare the pumpkin to Eli's head-it had to be bigger than Eli's head-it's a Spencer thing!
