Better late than never...

So I finally decided it was time to update the blog. Things have been a little crazy busy in the Greene household. With me working 3 full days a week and Shaun working all the time it has been crazy. But a good kind of crazy, we feel very blessed that Real Estate is going so well for Shaun. Despite the economy he is doing pretty well and has a lot of clients that he is currently helping buy or sell homes.
This summer so far has been fun we haven't done a whole lot of vacations, but have had a lot of day trips. We did go to Park City for a few days in May with the whole Fullmer clan and that was a blast. We have spent a lot of days in the canyon and some days at the pool as well. Shaun and I took the kids to lagoon the first week in July and had a blast. But we were all sure tired at the end of the day.
Another high point of our summer has been the get togethers with my Bird family. (my moms side) My cousin Tiff had the greatest idea to have each of the sisters (my moms sisters) plan an outing each week. My mom has 6 sisters so they each get 2 weeks in the summer to plan an outing. It has been so great to see them so much this summer. Because of my work schedule I haven't been able to go to all of them, but still quite a few. So far this summer we have been to many parks, up the canyon, swimming, and to This Is The Place state park. And this next week will be going to the Zoo. I am so glad we have all been able to do this, it has been really good for all of us.
The kids are doing great!! Ethan Just turned 4 (I can't believe it either) and is so smart and wonderful as ever. We celebrated his Birthday on the 24th so we had my family and most of Shaun's family over for a BBQ and birthday festivities and fireworks. We got Ethan a big-boy bike for his birthday, with training wheels. And he loves it and does very well on it. We are getting ready to have his friend party tomorrow with his friends from the ward and his cousin Sammy of course. We are proud of Ethan daily and feel so very blessed to have him in our family.
Sophie is AMAZING she is such a great part of our family. She is talking up a storm lately and it was just out of the blue that she started. Some of the things she says... "all done" "go bye bye" "thank you" "mommy cookie" and every time she sees my newest nephew she says "hi baby jack jack" in a really high voice it is so dang cute! It is hard to believe that she can already communicate so well when she is only 16 months old.
Well that is a break down for now we will be going to Bear Lake next weekend so we will update about that soon.
