Baby Mop

Well, Ethan isn't crawling yet, but he has figured out how to scoot around on his tummy, so I think I can buy this product now. What do you think? I like how the ad says "make your children work for their keep".

Christmas Time

Recently when Jared and I went out of town we had a little visitor move in. Little did we know, we were in the presence of one of the world's smartest mice. Here is some evidence so you can see what I mean.


We discovered the mouse on Wednesday. The next day we set out multiple traps. A few days later we bought 2 additional types of traps and set those out as well. And here is what happened:


The mouse found this sticky trap on our kitchen counter. (And yes- that is Almond Roca. He had expensive tastes). He put a paw on it and discovered it was sticky, so he pushed the trap from the corner here....



to here, where he could stand on the easel and eat the Almond Roca without having to actually step on the trap.



Yes- he seriously did that. I am happy to say that the next day we finally caught him and our house is now mouse free. It was a Christmas miracle...



Since people keep complaining that we don't post enough pictures of Ethan, here we are at Temple Square on Christmas Eve:


It was FREEZING! But luckily, Ethan is a very good natured baby and he still enjoyed seeing all the lights.

Bonnie Tyler Forever...

Here is a funny video Ken showed us. Its called a "literal video" because they make up lyrics for what is literally in the video.

Let's just say we were laughing so hard it scared Ethan and made him cry...

Mr. Potato Head

I would like to say thanks to my sister Natalie
who recently gave Ethan a Mr. Potato Head toy.

I hope you are not offended that he enjoys playing
with the package more than the toy...

I think he is going to LOVE Christmas- not for the new
toys but for the unlimited amount of wrapping paper.

Where have the Erbs been?

Hello! Yes, I know it has been awhile. I can't believe I haven't posted since July.

Well, a lot has changed for our little family. We are now proud residents of Lehi- the home of this cult classic movie. Every time that movie is on TV I can't help watching it for a bit because of how much the area has changed since they made the movie. We love our new house and will post pictures soon.

In the mean time here are some pictures of
what we have been up to:

Julie and Ken visiting from California.
At the playground near our house.

Ethan LOVES swimming.

Trip to California

Last week Ethan made his first trip to California! We had a great time, even though we were both sad Jared couldn't go. Here are pictures from the trip:

Ethan was a great traveler in the car. He slept most of the time.

Ethan's first trip to In-N-Out!

Smiling for Grandma.

Ethan with his cousins Ty, Luke, Taylor, and Audrey.
On this trip we discovered that Ethan loved Audrey's silky blanket.

When we got home, Ethan let us know he never wanted to go on a trip without his dad again!
(So sad, yet so cute...)

More Ethan Vids!!

The boy is doing incredibly well. He is happy and healthy and growing so big. We can hardly believe it! He is almost 3 1/2 months old now! He's started sleeping through the night, which is heavenly. He eats around 11:30pm, goes to sleep about an hour later, and sleeps until around 6:30am when he wakes up for breakfast. He'll then go back to sleep for 3 more hours before feeding again, and will usually sleep after that until noon. And when daddy gets home in the afternoon, he's always excited! He loves his daddy! And he's always a very good boy for mama.

Trying to catch his laugh on tape, we caught these fantastic smiles:



Here he is grabbing toys for the first time:



Finally caught that laugh!!
