This is a picture of Ethan six years ago!
This is a picture of Ethan today!
I cannot believe it has been six years since I delivered my first child. I remember that day so clearly. I was so excited to meet this little one that I had prepared for all my life. Having a baby was not exactly what I expected it to be (I was picturing him more as "the latest accessory" than a baby that would cry all the time). Through the ups and downs of learning what motherhood really is, I am overwhelmed by the feeling of gratitude to my Heavenly Father for entrusting such a special son of God to my safekeeping. Ethan has so much potential for greatness. I pray that Kent and I will be able to teach him all that he needs to know in order to fulfill his life's mission. The first thing he asked me when he woke up this morning was, "Now that I am six, how many weeks until I can be baptized?" I love Ethan with all of my heart. He is my joy and happiness. He is so full of life and full of love. I learn so much about the person I want to be through his honest example. He is so tender and caring of all things around him. He is also so curious about how everything works. He is constantly craving to be learning new things and to be involved. I am thankful for the blessing of Ethan in my life. Time is going way too quickly. I want him to slow down and let me hold on to him forever. I Love you Ethan boy. Happy Sixth Birthday!
