We thought that by doing these two posts so close together it wouldn't be so long, but we were mistaken. It's only been a few days, but we've got some good clips. Ethan has usually told me to stop anytime I try singing to him, but just recently he decided he likes singing and so this montage starts out with him singing along with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as we watched conference this weekend. I love it! especially when he throws a "mommy and daddy" in there. We have a lot of time at home together these days with Richard's schedule being so full, but we manage to keep busy. Gabe was rather slap-happy the other night while Richard was at school and I got some good laughing out of him. We just had to include the clip of Ethan reading to his teddy bears in the make-shift tent we made out of his bed. And yes, we are terrible parents and let Gabe fall asleep in his Jumper. Actually, the terrible thing is that we had to take a video before getting him out. But it's so funny!
Anyway, for Richard's birthday we went out to eat at Big Jud's, and I'm sad that we didn't get a picture of it, but for those of you who don't know, Big Jud's is home of the 1 lb. burger. It was the size of a dinner plate! And together we ate the whole thing! Richard's brother and his wife came too and shared one as well. Then Saturday we all went to the Boise Zoo. Richard's mom bought us a year pass and now we can go whenever we want! Ethan really enjoyed it. I made Richard a cake, and when he got back from the Priesthood session of General Conference, we ate it. I was in such a hurry to get Ethan to bed, I had to rush the picture taking and only got one while Richard was enjoying a birthday phone call from his Brother in Alabama. I gave Ethan one of the candles to lick the frosting off of, but he misunderstood and took a bite out of the candle. I guess I should have explained that one better.

Actually, the zoo gift was from Richard's parents, not just his mom. It's true that I sent it, but since Scott earned it, he deserves some credit, huh? I'm SO glad that Ethan liked it! And happy birthday, Rick! We'll get in touch at some point. Mom
fun! Happy Birthday, Richard! I must admit that with all the craziness of Zoe's birthday I forgot that she shared it with you.
Great video, as always!
Always a luxury to watch your montages. I have request: could you mention what songs you use in the montage in the post? that would be most helpful. It's wonderful to see that you are actually able to be in the back yard! :) Wonderful family. Glad to see you are still making "towies" and that Ethan is still finding creative ways of knocking them down. (A guy in my ward got a calling and his middle name is Cornelius! I was going to tell him about Ethan after church but I couldn't get the time (or courage)) Funny connection. Love you guys.
The music on this one was Count Basie, "Softly, with Feeling" and the last one was "Constellations" and "Breakdown" by Jack Johnson. Before that was a Nickle Creek track and then a Swedish one of Richard's before that, with Nickle Creek for the pig wrestling. That's as far back as I'm going to go unless you have any specific requests.
Laura, This was awesome!! I absolutely loved the cute laughing and falling asleep and the bed jumping was so fun, it makes me want to go and jump a little! I love that your family is doing so well!!
