Busy fun

So things have been a little crazy busy for us but we are having fun and are very happy. Thanksgiving was a blast! We had an early thanksgiving with the Greene and Eyre clan a few Sundays before Thanksgiving. It was a great meal and even better company we even did a family photo of all of us including Michelles kids it turned out good considering the number of people in the photo. On Thanksgiving we had a big todo at my mom and dad's with all of the extended Fullmer family pretty much everybody was there except a few cousins who live out of state or who had other family to be with. I think this was the first thanksgiving in a long time that we have been together like that. We also had Ryan, Jessica and the newest addition to our family Phoebe. It was nice for Shaun to have his brother with him for Thanksgiving.
Shaun is doing well with real estate right now despite the bad economy he is staying really busy but is finding time to get out and have fun. I have been having some fun as well last Friday I went out with some friends from my ward and saw the Twilight movie. It was a blast the movie was great, but I think the night off was the best part. I love my kids but I think it is good for everybody if mom gets a break.
Now we are just busy getting ready for christmas I haven't even started shopping but hope to start soon.
Sophie is 9 months old and is crawling all over the place. She is the happiest baby we feel so blessed to have her in our family. Ethan is so excited for christmas he has a list for santa and reminds me of it daily. His newest thing is drawing he is so good at it he can draw a lot of things considering he is only 3. He is singing all the time his newest song is Jingle Bells it is so cute to hear "his" version, which changes everytime he sings.
I am very excited for this holiday season and hope all our family and friends have a happy holiday season!

Our Halloween

Well I can't believe halloween has already come and gone. We had a very fun halloween, the night before we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins and then we carved them. On Halloween Ethan went trick-or-treating with his cousin Sam. Ethan was a lion and Sophie was a Cat. Later that night we went to my mom's for chili and we dipped apples and the kids hunted for quarters that my mom hid in a pile of leaves. Then we all slept over at my mom's house on one big bed that she made in the basement. It was a lot of fun I really felt like a kid again.
So life now feels like it has slowed down again after all the excitement of halloween is over. Now we need to gear up for the excitement of the holidays. (I don't know how I feel about that) Time just goes by way to fast.

It's about time....

Well I have been a slacker and have not kept up with our blog, so it is about time that I did. Shaun has been doing Real Estate full time from home since August and he loves it. I have been working 2 days at the pharmacy a week to get a little adult time. Shaun is enjoying being home with the kids and watching them grow.
Speaking of the kids they are growing so fast, Sophie is now crawling and sitting up on her own. I guess you can crawling it is more of an army comando crawl, whatever it is it is way cute. She loves to play with toys and with Ethan. She is such a beautiful baby girl we are so happy she is in our family.
Ethan is a great big brother and plays well with her, although he is still learning to share. He is such a funny kid and has us laughing to tears a lot of the time. Shaun has been taking the kids hiking every wednesday while I am at work. They will sure miss it when it is too cold to go.
We have had some fun family outings lately, last week we went to the Cornbelly's fair at Thanksgiving point. There was a scary monster thing to walk through Ethan liked it but he was pretty scared, but he likes to tell people about it. We went to lagoon on Labor Day weekend and had a blast we just took Ethan and left Sophie with a baby sitter. Ethan felt bad that we were leaving Sophie behind on the whole way to Lagoon he kept saying lets go back and get Sophie.
September was also a good month because it was our 6th wedding aniversary so it was nice to get out just the 2 of us and celebrate. So that is what has been up with us since August. I will try and be better about blogging.. I PROMISE.

New News

Well the newest news in the greene family is Shaun is officially done at RC Willey's he now just works from home doing real estate. It sure will be nice to have him around more, we have already done more as a family since he has quit.
He was able to come to a Saturday family reunion which was impossible while he worked at RC Willey. The reunion was a lot of fun it was for the Richardson-Butler family and it was in Benjamin. Ethan had a lot of fun playing the kid games, he did the 3 leg race with another little boy and when he was done he said I raced all tangled up with that boy. Sophie just hung out with anyone who wanted to hold her, her great-grandparents enjoyed her.
We also took a day and went to Albion Basin and hiked to Cecret Lake, Shaun wanted to work out his ankle so we thought a little hike would do it. Ethan hiked the whole way all by himself and Shaun and I took turns holding Sophie. We ran into Shaun's Aunt Jane and Uncle John and Lizzie while we were hiking, it was nice to be able to spend some time with them. It was a nice day, the weather was perfect. We were to late in the season to see all the wild flowers, but it was still pretty.
The last few days we have just been getting ready for Caleb to get home from his mission, he gets home tomorrow at 3:45. We are so excited to see him! I am sure we will have a lot to blog about after that.

Our Summer

We have already had a very fun and eventful summer and we hope it will stay fun till the end. It started in June we spent a week in Park City with the Fullmer family, while we were up there we went swimming, shopping and went to Lagoon for a day. It was a blast Ethan loved lagoon a few of the rides scared him a bit. Some of the rides he would get off and say "that ride was too scary" but for the most part he enjoyed it very much.
July was fun as well we were able to go to Bear Lake twice to Shaun's dad's cabin, we spent a lot of time at the beach. Shaun went water skiing and took Ethan on the boat and also on rides on the tractor (used to pull the boat) and the 4 wheelers. The second time we went Shaun's cousin Jared and his wife Harmony came, it was a lot of fun to be up there with them. Ethan loves Jared and wanted Jared to do every thing with him. Jared and Ethan even built a sand turtle together, but if you ask Jared it was a castle.
The 4th of July was also very fun we had a picnic and watched fire works with Jessica's family. Ethan really enjoyed the fire works, Sophie slept through all of the excitement.
On July 14th our summer took a slight turn, Shaun went rock climbing with his friend Adam and took a slight fall and hit his foot on something which broke his foot. The worst part of the whole incident was having to hike down the 2 miles back to his truck. He made it down and Jessica took him to the hospital, his foot and ankle were pretty banged up but he is recovering well. Worst part for him is no more rock climbing this summer.
July 24th was fun Jessica's parents came over for a BBQ and to light fireworks Ethan loved all of the fireworks, except for the loud ones. Sophie enjoyed them as well she was wide eyed the whole time.
We also spend a lot of time at the local pool Ethan is quite the little swimmer, we enjoy watching him swim. As for the rest of the summer we are just hanging out and anxiously waiting for Caleb to come home from his mission on August 27.

We are now bloggers!

So after many friends and family asking if we have a blog we decided to start one. Well for starters I will talk about my beautiful kids, Ethan just turned 3 on July 28 (I can't believe it) and Sophie is 5 months old. Ethan is so full of life and is always going full speed, he really gives me a run for my money. As I said before he just turned 3 and we had so much fun celebrating. On his Birthday we took him to the Dinosaur museum and he loved it I think Shaun liked it even more. We also saw the 3D movie about Dinosaurs and it was so funny to see Ethan's response to the 3D images flying at him. He almost fell out of his chair a few times.
We had his birthday party on the 30th, originally it was supposed to be at our house but plans changed. Well for starters Shaun broke his foot a few weeks ago so he is on crutches so he can't help out too much. Then the morning of the party I was trying to get yard work done when I noticed a HUGE wasps nest right by where we were planning on having the party. Then as I was trying to set up a table in the backyard the table collapsed. I was ready to explode, then my phone rang it was my mom all she said was " how about we do the party in our backyard?" I was so relieved I guess mothers intuition kicked in and she knew what I needed without me even telling her. I am so thankful for my wonderful parents!
So the party was moved and it was a blast, all of our close friends and family were there and Ethan got spoiled rotten. I can't believe the generosity, so thank you to all of you for all of the great gifts.
So now about our little angel Sophie, she is the best baby! She is always so happy and is a good sleeper we are so lucky. She had a little bit of a rough start, but is wonderful and healthy now. She was born at 35 weeks I had to be induced do to toxemia. They induced me on February 28 and she was born on the 29th (Leap day) At first I was a little upset about her only having a birthday once every 4 years, but now I think it is special.
Sophie was 4lb 9oz but only had to spend 2 days in NICU and only had to stay in the hospital for 5 days. We feel so blessed that we have beautiful healthy kids!
