Valentine's Day!

LOVE:

--In a world that says, "I love God, but Jesus?"

"Jesus said to them, 'If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me.'" John 8:42

--In a world of hypocrisy:
"Jesus replied, 'Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.'" John 14:23

--Fruit of a real Christian:

"But those who obey God's word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him." 1 John 2:5

The Bjurstrom Tradition:

Ever since we got married, Steve and I have made a heart shaped pizza with 1 lb of hamburger!

-We had bible study this night at our home, so we created a make-shift "tator tot heart" until we could celebrate later

Here it is:

VALENTINES DAY 2012

This year we were able to add a little heart; for Ethan!

Ethan thought he could give us some of his best Valentine's day 'love looks.'

"Hey lady babies."

Okay, here is our cute little Ethan when he is not posing!

Father-son moment!

Ethan trying to grab puff cereal.

Just hangin' out; supporting Dad; DMPD style.

And finally, some LOVE-ly memories:

Omaha zoo...I really like the zoo!

Our first Christmas together in our apartment.

 Going to The Lion King at the Civic Center; Broadway style.

4th of July in Seattle on a lake.

Baby Ethan!

Full of love!

What an awesome day!



Fun photos!

Well, I am getting later and later all the time with this blog!

But, here are some photos since the last post!

Ethan with his wonderful daddy and clifford.

Ethan snoozing!

Love those lips!!!

Bath time is quite fun at our house, especially with this sweet towel!

I just LOVE to wrap  him up after bath time, in his towel, and cuddle him!

 Pictures just don't do justice to how cute this kid is!

Ethan and daddy playing!

Steve is such a great husband and wonderful dad!

Memorizing his dad's face!

Shoulder time!

My mom and two sister-in-laws came in early December for a baking Saturday.

We made Christmas candies for, no kidding, 9 hours!

Much fun!

Our holiday lights!

This was Thanksgiving day. Sooo beautiful outside!

Those eybrows!

I just love this picture of these two!

Handsome boys!

Family photo!

Love my son!

 



5 Months

And here he is: Our HANDSOME 5 month old little boy!!

He turned 5 months on Thanksgiving!

This is pretty much how our photo shoot went! HA!

He created this really awesome drool/bubble beard!

And then looked at me like, "what mom?"

"I love life, pick me up mom!"

Ethan, and dad, could be entertained by Ethan's feet all day long!

Very flexible at 5 months!

Hangin' out on my lap! Again with the feet! Awesome!

Oh yes, and we cannot forget his sweet Christmas socks!

We traveled to see Steve's Grandma in Illinois, Steve and Ethan took a GOOD nap together!

Ethan is so funny!

On Thanksgiving day Ethan wore his Lions sweatshirt from his Uncle Gabe. The Lions played on Thanksgiving day!

On Thanksgiving weekend, Steve and I put up Christmas lights outside our house, pictures to come, and raked leaves, for the 2nd time. We have so many leaves in our front yard but NO TREES. Weird!

Ethan in his super awesome Cabela's outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Chamberlin!

So warm and cute! He LOVED it!

Oh yes, and he always seem to stretch out as much as he can! HA!

Cute little open mouth face!

This was Ethan relaxing with us next to the dinner table while Steve and I ate, and took pictures of him! =)

So stinkin' cute!

This is what I get to wake up to every morning:

I turn a lamp on and Ethan squints his eyes!

Then he smiles really big, like 'YES! It's morning again! A NEW DAY!'

Then, the flailing of arms begins and the excited screaming!!!

=)

And here is Ethan just being Ethan, cute and gentle!

 He also sucks his thumbs sometimes too!

We love him and are so thankful he was here with us this Thanksgiving!
Praise God!
