Ethan 18 month Check Up



 


Ethan had his 18 month check up today and all is well and good! He weighed in at 34 lbs 5oz and is 35.5in tall. He is in the 99th % for height, 105th % for weight, and 100th % for head size. He got four shots today including a cocktail shot that included tetnis (and others), along with chicken pox, flu (normal), and H1N1. Poor little guy's leg hurt so bad that he couldn't walk later! Nothing Motrin can't fix.

The doctor told us that Ethan is a very normal boy with all the energy and spunk you would expect from a almost 2 yr old boy. He is very energetic and a bit of a wild man. It is amazing to see such different personalities from our sons but cool how they work with our little family.



To say that Ethan and Noah are the center of our world would be an understatement! Ethan completely adores Noah and commonly calls him "broder", even when we ask him to say Noah he still says "broder". He always gets upset when Noah heads out for preschool and gets excited when he comes home. Noah loves the role of older brother and is always looking out for whats best for his little brother.....even if it means telling mommy and daddy when he is doing something bad:) Noah is always surprising us with his compassion for his little brother just by the mere kiss on the head when Ethan is crying or letting him play with one of his coveted tractors. Of course Noah and Ethan still act like brothers and have their little skirmishes for toys or their parents undivided attention, but all in all they love being in each others presence.


Ethan and Noah, Oct Blizzard

Halloween 2009



The Atherton family had a great halloween this year and Buzz and Woody truly enjoyed all the festivities.  We joined Marcy and Kenna at the Trick or Treat street at the Children's Museum Friday. Then on Saturday, Mom and Dad brought Kenna and we all walked in the Longmont Halloween Parade with the Haley's.  Noah loved this and rode on the back of the stroller waving to everyone.  We then came back to our house to make some yummy Halooween treats(not that we needed anymore sugar) with Kenna, Marcy and Zach.  Later that night the Townesends, Ribbings, Smiths and Athertons all got together at our house for some Chili before going out and Trick or Treating. Here are some pictures from the night:

Pumkinfesting in Longmont

We spent some time with the St. John Catholic Preschool kids (Noah's class) at the pumpkin farm/patch. We had a great time and even learned a little about farming, though Noah announced to the class that he knows all there is to know about farming:) A week later we went to Anderson Farms on a family date with Marcy, Zach, and Makenna for another round of pumpkin-patching. Seems like our boys are no longer little, yes even "little" Ethan is growing! Can't wait for Halloween when we will post costume pictures!

SHS 10 Yr Reunion

Anne and I spent last night hanging out with all of our old friends from Skyline High Class of 99 at the Dickens in Longmont. It was a bit weird seeing faces that are all grown up and (somewhat:) mature! Completely blows me away to think that ten years ago we all we heading out in the unknown and now to have the opportunity to see everyone. I wanted to thank my good friend Ryan Stromquist for allowing me to do my part and help....nudge.....blackmail him into planning this party. I also wanted to thank all of you who showed up and made a great party out of it. The crazy thing? I spent nearly all my time talking to people that I really didn't talk to in high school! How cool is that? Hopefully it was because I have matured but I also like to think that some us simply look forward to taking a break from our crazy, hectic lives to have some "adult" time and just relax and enjoy the positive energy. Some of us exchanged phone numbers and I hope that we can keep in contact, but I also know that our crazy, hectic lives will once again take control of us and time will slip away until we are right back at planning a 20 year reunion. Hopefully the huge success of this reunion will make us plan at bit better instead of waiting until the last second.



Cheers,
Josh
