Ethan is nine #2

I'll tell you about our visit to me grandma and grandpa. It was nice.
My grandma (I call her "Noni") made Angel Food Cake and two kinds of cup cakes. Ethan decorated the cupcakes. Yum. It was pretty good food. We sang happy birthday to Ethan and let him blow out his candle.
Noni bought bubble wands and stuff and so we blew bubbles for a while after we ate.
It was pretty fun!

Ethan is nine!

See, I told you I'd post again. Anyone know that Ethan turned nine yesterday on August twenty third? He had fifty dollars, (I think, something like that) and spent it on a star wars space ship with guns and Darth Vader and a Clone and General Greevis (how do you spell his name?) with light sabers.

My momma and papaw took some pictures of the cake and toys.

We went to my papaw's house (my mom's grandparent, and the one who had married Mimi) and ate roast for dinner and cake and cantaloupe for dessert. We're going to go to my grand parents' (my mom's mom and dad) house tonight for dinner and dessert. Mmmm.

This is a special treat for my mom, 'cause she doesn't have to cook dinner or make any dessert! Ethan loves it, too.

(so do I, cause Papaw's a great cook, and so is Noni (my grandma). Yum!

Here are some pictures and Ethan's video of his toys that he bought with his money.

Hope you like them!

We've also been reading a book called a Horse and his Boy, over at papaw's house. Ethan does puzzles while we read it out loud.

I'll write again tomorrow!

hot, hot, hot

I'm sorry I haven't posted, guys. It's been busy around here, especially school and vacation. But now I'm posting. Did any of you come to my mom's quarter yard sale? I sold lemonade there for 10 cents, soda for fifty cents, and even ice cold water and fruit punch for twenty five cents, and got twenty three dollars out of it. It's pretty awesome.

How many people saw that this is the hottest summer on record?

{deep sigh} I'm tired of it being hot. It was fun in South Padre, with the beach and everything. And to top it off, we got hit by part of a hurricane! I really liked seeing the wind blowing and the trees.

Oh, and did you know that Texas is one of the most popular horse countries? It is known for a lot of fantastic breeds.

I know, I know, I talk about horses a lot. But I can't really help it. It just LOVE them!

We're getting off the subject. Way off the subject.

At the yard sale, my mom and dad sold almost all of their things. A LOT. It was pretty hot out there, but I sat a table with an umbrella that went with it. I'm thinking on spending my twenty three dollars on a board game that I like. But I might get a few breyer horses that I like. That'd be nice. That would be nice.

See you! I'll post soon, I promise! And that's a PROMISE!
