Ethan with President Bush
President Bush shaking hands with people
Ryan and Ethan at the event
Our front row seatsYes, that is our son with the President! My best friend from high school, Tiffany, got us totally hooked up. Her husband works for the President and since the President was in town visiting Cisco Systems, they got us front row seats to the discussion! We even sat by the mayor of San Jose! So after the whole discussion we went up to the front so we could shake Bush's hand as he came around. Well, when he got to us, he looked at Ethan and picked him right up so I could take a picture of Ethan with the President. Everyone there started clapping when the President picked him up. Then he turned to the Presidential photographer so the photographer could get some pictures and had me get in a few too. The photographer gave me a card with all the info so I can have the pictures sent to me. Then the President gave Ethan a kiss and handed him back to me. It was incredible! A once in a lifetime opportunity! Too bad Ethan won't remember any of this, but at least we have pictures. After the whole thing everyone came up to us to see the "famous baby" and a newspaper guy got all our info for the paper. I'm excited to see if we made it in the paper. Thanks Tiff and Gregg for the wonderful opportunity! You guys are too cool! I just thought I was going to have good seats to see the President. I never thought I would actually get to meet him and have him hold my child. Too cool!

Too stinkin cool!!! I"m totally jealous! Thats soooooo awesome! Famouse Ethan... so can we have his autograph? We are related...
That's our grandson . . . off to a good start in life in the "who you know" category. Did the President know that Ethan has some Texas blood in him?
How neat!! Tell Ethan not to forget us little people, lol :) Glad you got some awesome pics and video. That is a once in a lifetime opportunity!!
those pictures are priceless!! when i saw them at first i thought it was just cut and paste or something. that is awesome though. what a story you'll have to tell him. you know that will probably be what he says in all those BYU classes when they ask you to say something interesting about yourself... haha. i hate those questions:)
Holy Cow! That is way cool! Congratulations on having such a famous kid. :) I'll watch for his picture to pop up on the news...
Have a great day-
