We are here in Manti and have been here for the last two years almost and we love it.. Bowen is in first grade and is having lots of fun with the freedom that comes with living in such a small town. Shaylee is a smart little cookie and wants everything her way. She is in preschool and loving it. Sunday is her fourth birthday. She is getting so big. This last week I made her thumb gloves because she has sucked her thumbs since she was born. She has tried to stop but told me last week that she can't stop because her body won't let her. That made me feel so bad. Looking online I came across these thumbs gloves and thought that they would work but they were a 150.00 dollars and I was thinking I can make something like that and I did. So for a week now she has been thumbs free. She is so proud of herself and I am proud of her. Ashley is a fun little girl. She turned two on February 26, and in the last month she has started to put words together. It's so fun to have her talk to us. She is such a helper. Last year when I was out in my garden she would be right by me helping me pull weeds, even the plants that weren't weeds. I love to see the girls play together. Bowen is always so cute with both of them. They are so lucky to have him as a big brother. Darren and I have just had our 10th anniversary. Its funny how life changes you. You grow up so much when you're in your twenties that now we can look back and see how much we have grown up. We have grown together. Life is great for us, I would say we are a happy family:0)

Life!!

I have a hard time doing this blog thing, and I don't know why. I think sometimes that its just because I want to keep the things that happen in my life with my little family private, and I know its selfish of me. I guess when I think about it, it gives me anxiety to think that I am putting what's most precious to me out there for everyone to see and I have a mentel block about it. But I feel the same way about keeping a journal too. So I think its just me. But I know its going to be important to me and my kids that I move past this and start keeping this as my family's blog, journal... and I think it will be good for my Family to know how important they are to me. So here it goes... Life.
