Ethan's Birthday

June 7th is Ethan's birthday, and this year he turned 10!!!! (i still am processing that almost a month later). On ethan's actual birthday he got to do some of his favorite things. Saturday chores. Just kidding. He had a baseball game on the afternoon of his birthday. The team even sang happy birthday to him. We gave him a pocket knife (for scouts and camping). He was soo excited about it too.
For Ethan's birthday he had asked for Sub Zero, a place in North Orem, to come to his school for his class. Sub Zero does ice cream by using liquid nitrogen to freeze milk and the flavors and mixins you wish. It really is cool and they go to the schools to do demos for a fee. We had gone to SubZero after one of ethan's games and he saw a poster advertising that. Ethan started asking us and Blake said yes, before we really talked about it. It didn't take much to convince me, either way. So on one of the last few days of school (about 10 days before his birthday) sub zero came and did a demo for all the 4th graders and sam's 1st grade class. It cost some money, but we told ethan that if we did it that was all he was going to get, no party or other gifts and he said that was ok. That is what he wanted. It was fun to watch the demo and then of course to have the ice cream after.

We had family dinner with the Young family side the sunday after his birthday. Grandma had made a beautiful ice cream cake a few weeks earlier that was very yummy. On one of the layers she had forgotten to take out the wax paper so when ethan asked if grandma would make the ice cream cake with the paper we all kind of laughed. Grandma took it one step further and made it with out the paper and made a version of the cake just for ethan. Thanks grandma!

Happy Birthday bud! We love you!
