We continue to work on our backyard, so we bought an orange tree this past weekend. Kevin went out in the yard to dig a hole and see how our drainage is out there. I wasn't aware that he was going to do this, so I was quite surprised when I looked out the window and saw Ethan covered in mud. He was in heaven just throwing dirt clods into the water in the hole.
One more picture. I remember reading that toddlers get really into dipping their food. Ethan started this new habit a couple weeks ago when he insisted that he have some sour cream to dip his chips in. He now loves ketchup with his nuggets and fries, syrup (sugar free, thanks to a suggestion from a friend) for his waffles and, just discovered last weekend, salsa for his quesadillas and chips. Eating is so much fun!

I tried and tried to think of something witty to say but darn it, I just couldn't! John, you got anything? Help me out here!
I guess I would ask who the heck "Spain Dad" is and why his opinion matters? (Forgive if he is in some way related or close friend) Kev should start his own fathering site if you ask me.
1. Take son to basketball game and watch how to play round-ball.
2. Take home. Dig a big hole with son and throw dirt clods into the puddle that doesn't drain.
3. Teach son about the chemistry required for the fermentation of beer.
4. Coax Grandfather Ron into taking father and friends for free golf at Spring Creek and sweet dinners with wine so you can talk about the political implications of voting for 'Red Nutt'.
(OK, so I added 3 and 4. Don't be a hater!)
Actually, all you need to do is have his back and teach 'em God loves him a lot and he'll turn into a fine young man. You do. He will. People like you should procreate more often! Oh wait...
You should really check out eBambi! Looks like a hoot! What the...?

I bet that the pizza turned out great...who cares if it had a little spit on it.
I bet Ethan is going to have a good time when I come up there next. We can go out and shoot the guns and kill something and let him play with the carcas. This is the next logical step forward to manhood for him.
1. birth
2. play in dirt and eat it
3. play with a dead animal and place blood on your face.
4. kill something yourself(and eat a part of it raw)
5. drag a woman back to your cave.
6. You are a man.
This is such a geat system that I have developed.
FYI-this is not one of those crappy life betterment "Oprah book of the month" type systems. This one will work.
I think Ethan and Alleke are ready to compete with the Iron Chef, don't you? :)
I knew John would come through. Thanks buddy. A bit overstated but I can roll with it!
Any comments from the parents?!
Thanks for trying so hard to be witty guys. Joel, Spaindad is a guy named Kelly that I went to Dordt with. He and his wife met Kara when she went to Spain and helped her get hooked up w/ a great church. I happen to respect his ideas and thoughts on parenting a lot. I mean, yours are great too, but he has a bit more experience.
Sorry! I suffer from "foot-in-mouth" disease...most of the time.
