So all day yesterday I was going to write a new blog but you know how it goes just busy busy. I had a lot of yard work to do like weed the garden and mow the lawn since today is water day. Went to dinner last night at Fosters for Rickeys birthday. It was good but took forever. When we got home I tried to work on scrapbooking but was just too tired. Wish I had more motivation for it. I did get my pictures separated into events with dates on them to help me when I do get to scrapbooking. Anyways I told myself I would try to incorporate something about the kids in this everyday so I can remember so lets see Owen is upstairs in my bed (his favorite place to sleep) sucking his thumb with his fee fee. That is his blankie or what is left of it. My grandma Ida made him these two receiving blankets when he was born one is green one is yellow. The green one only has a few strings left and the yellow one isn't far behind. His favorite is the green one but if he can't find it the yellow one will do. The only time he sucks his thumb is when he has one of them. When Ethan was little he had his gigi. It was a blue fleece bear blanket that Nancy Walsh gave me for my baby shower. He never did suck his thumb though. Well I guess I better get on with the day before the boys get up hope you all have a great day!

First Blog!!! Yeah!

Well here it goes! My first time blogging. I never thought to do this but my friend Jamie made a good point, it is like a journal. And since I am no good at writing in a journal this may be easier. Anyway just getting back to normal after such a crazy fun busy weekend. We had the Henrie Family Reunion at Papa Steeles next to our house so it was back and forth for three days. It was a lot of fun even though the weather didn't always cooperate. Saturday night was the best though. We played volleyball for 3 hours. Me, Cade, Sara, Dillon, Stoney, Lisa, Candace, Brent, Justin, Marianne, Wade and Tracy. Still sore from it. Then yesterday me, Cade, Candace and Brent went on a Rhino ride and Ethan followed on his motorcycle and went up 5 mile to Indian Hollow to Candace's Enchanted Fairytale Forest or something like that. It was a lot of fun and Ethan loved being able to ride his motorcycle more than just around the block. Then last night me and Ethan went on a bike ride. There is nothing quite like a summer night in Panguitch. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking. Anyway, I'm not sure what other things you blog about but right now Ethan just turned 7, Owen just turned 4 and Isabella is 3 1/2 months old. Cade is still doing Heating and Air Conditioning and I am just being a stay at home mom and loving every minute of it. I'm trying to take advantage of this time in my life when I have an excuse to not work and be able to take care of my kids full time. I never saw myself as being able to stay at home when I was growing up. I always thought I would be a career mom, but once you have kids its hard to want to leave them. I know the time will come when I can work again and I am sure it will be a lot sooner than I want it to be. Anyway I guess I better get the kids ready for bed, Cade's still working. After the holiday weekend he had a lot of service calls to do but he had to wait until he was off work to start them. Hopefully he will be home around 9 or 10.
Love,
Michelle
