Ethan had a game last night and they won. 12 to 4. Ethan got 4 runs and had a blast!
Before the game he was saying that he wished baseball uniforms had shorts, because he was hot. When we got to the game the clouds came out and the wind started blowing. It was very chili. By the end of the game he was complaining he was cold. I had to say "Aren't you glad you have pants on". He just smiled.

The Shirt
Cousin Leslie gave Ethan a shirt for Christmas. We went to Bama on spring break and of course we took the shirt with us. We get a lot of commits about if from our friends. They always ask if he has a Texas shirt.
Ethan loves this shirt! Uncle Todd noticed Ethan's shirt and told he would have to buy him a real shirt and he could throw this one out.
Thanks Cousin Leslie!
I love the look on Ethan's face.

Baseball
Well it is baseball season. Ethan had his 1st game on Saturday afternoon. They won 10 to 9. Ethan had 2 of the ten runs. GO ETHAN!!! He slid into 3rd base. I asked "How did you know to slide into 3rd base?" he said "I just know". Of course he did.
He is really good at hitting the ball. I'm amazed how far he can hit it. I think we found something he will continue to do.
Here are a few pictures of his first game.

Thanksgiving Trip to Bama
Ethan and I took a trip to Bama to visit with family for the week of Thanksgiving. Unfortunately Russell had to work and had no vacation because he has only worked there a couple months.
So Ethan and I hit the road and spent the week in Bama. We really enjoyed our trip. On the way we stopped to see Tony the tiger. Tony is a tiger who lives in a big cage at a gas station at exit 139 in Louisiana. I believe they are trying to raise money to move him to a better place.
We were making such great time when the state of Alabama decided to do road work. We were at a crawl for about an hour. Ethan did very well on this trip. I think he only asked me twice if we were there yet.
We arrived safely to Melissa's house 10.5 hours after we left our home.

Fishing...
This past weekend Ethan could earn his Fishing patch for boy scouts. Bass Pro Shop has a huge pond that they stocked with fish. We got there right on time and spent about 2 hours and was not able to catch a fish. There were many many people there, so the competition was high. They also had snakes and other animals there to touch.
I asked him if he would put the snake around his neck and take a picture. He said no so I had to bribe him with $5 to do it. And as you see from the picture below I am out $5.
He loved it!

Its been a long while since I've posted. So I thought I would talk a few minutes to write an update.
Ethan no longer has long hair. My dad decided to cut it. Ethan came home after visiting grandpa's with no hair. I was not happy about it, but it is done and he is growing it back out.
Halloween was a lot of fun. We have started a new tradition with a good friend of ours. There are a few houses on her street that get together on Halloween hand out candy and eat hot dogs and snacks. This was the 2nd yr for us to go there and Ethan really enjoys it. Doug made a haunted house this year in the back yard and Ethan was very excited about going in it. This is what he looked like afterwards....

He didn't like the chainsaw at the end. After a few tears he was ok and we went trick or treating. After trick or treating I asked him if he wanted to go with me through the haunted house and to my amazement he said yes. And again he was crying at the end. So I guess we will see if he remembers this next year.

Naughty Juice works
A friend of mine as recently told me about Naughty Juice. When Ethan decides to not listen or say something naughty he would normally get hot sauce on his tongue. Well he has had so much of it over the past few years that hot sauce does not bother him anymore.
Naughty Juice is white vinegar. I've only had to tell Ethan that when he is bad he'll get it. That alone has been enough for him to behave.
We were visiting a friend Friday night and Ethan was playing with his little friend A. The phase they are going through right now is calling each other loser. We continue to tell them not to call each other names and to play nice. After having this conversation with the both of them...they were walking back outside and I heard Ethan say "you better stop it or I'll show you my middle finger". If you need to take a break and get up off the floor I understand.
I immediately said to my friend "where is the naughty juice"....I could see the fear in Ethan eyes when I told him to come here. I proceeded to put just a little on a spoon and told Ethan to not spit it out. Ethan held his nose and took it like a man until he tasted it and decided to act like he was going to hurl. He now understands Naughty Juice.
So I did have to find out where in the world he found out about the middle finger. He finally told me that he learned it from one of his friends at school. I will be talking to his mother this week.
