Summer fun!
We discovered Tyler really really likes salsa. He was drinking it when we found him.
We found Tyler in the bathtub right after we had just changed his diaper and gotten him all ready for bed. He thought he was pretty funny.
Mike, Henry, and I got to go up to a cabin with out the rest of the kids for a reunion of just my brothers, sisters, our parents, and spouses. It was a lot of fun, it was up in Idaho. We went boating and everything. Henry liked it too.
Alyssa trying her hand at playing some music. Too bad that on the way home from Utah she decided that she also wanted to be a beautician. Yep, she cut a ton of her hair off. She is really lucky though that she has curly hair because it hides a lot.
Zach had a lot of fun in Utah, he always go crazy from all the attention.
Henry is growing up so fast! Here he is at 2 months old.
Henry's blessing day
Henry was blessed on July 6, 2008 by his Daddy, Grandpa Urry, Grandpa Eggett and Great Grandpa Bemis. We were lucky enough to be able to do it in Utah so that we could have most of the family there. It was really nice. Afterwards Mike's parents were great enough to let us have a luncheon at their house. It was a great blessing and Henry was so cute!
This is Great Grandpa and Grandma Bemis (Mike's grandparents). This is the Grandpa that Henry was named after, it is Grandpas middle name. I couldn't ask for a greater person for our son to be named after!
Here is Henry with Grandpa Eggett and Daddy! Aren't they so cute! 
Henry with Grandpa and Grandma Urry, he was pretty worn out from the long day. |

What an adventure!
Wow, I thought that once we had Henry and finally got moved things would just sail smoothly. Boy was I wrong! Well, I will try and fill all of you in. On the day that we were suppose to move, we found out that the house that we were moving into, didn't approve for enough. And long story shorter, the lady wouldn't budge on the price and is no regretting that she didn't. Anyway, we were already on our way to Ohio so we figured that we would just stay in a hotel for a few days and find a different house. But the people that we were trying to go through the loan for and the people that Mike is working for were giving us problems. We thought that Mike was going to start like a week after we got here, but they said that he got his license a lot faster then they thought he would, so they didn't have work yet. Anyway, we got stuck in the hotel for a couple weeks, with all our stuff still stuck in the moving truck. The day we got to the hotel our kids got sick with the flu or something. The pictures of Henry are at the hotel. Luckily Mikes dad came out (he was going to help us finish our basement in the first house) for a few days and we all went to the Zoo. They have a really good Zoo here, so we got season passes and went there a few times to pass the time. 
So then after barely surviving the hotel and thinking that we were going to get a house any day, the dentist that Mike worked with over the summer said that he had an opening. So at this point we were so sick of Ohio and everything so Utah sounded great. So we hopped in the van and headed to Utah. A few hours out of Ohio, we already missed it. After 27 long hours of driving (with stopping to sleep of course) we got to Utah. It was so nice to be out of hotels! It was also really nice to have family around. But after a lot of prayer, and a lot of ups and downs, we finally decided that we should come back to Ohio. And still we were having problems with getting the loan to go through, I don't know what the banks deal was. They would tell us everything was fine and that it was going to go through, then they would throw something else in that we needed.
So after being in Utah for a little over two weeks, Mike flew out to Ohio and signed on the house. Then he flew back and that day we headed back to Ohio. So now we finally have our house.
It was really nice to be able to see family though. We also got to bless Henry while we were in Utah.
We are just trying to get everything unpacked now. It is virtually impossible to unpack, keep the house clean, and watch the kids. I have been going crazy. And Mike started work last week and his hours are not too great. He is just filling in for a few people until September, so he has late hours and weekends. But I think that it will get better. Luckily we have a great ward, so that helps. Of course it takes about 20 minutes to get to church. Man do I miss living a few minutes from the church. We also miss all our Virginia friends a ton! Anyway, I will stop now, it has just been so crazy. Our poor little Henry was homeless most of the first two months of his life. But he is a lot of fun. The kids sure are excited to actually have room to play in after all those hotels. Zachary said the other day, "I can't believe that we have a house, at first I thought that I was dreaming. I'm not dreaming, and I mom?" It was really cute.
Well, I will try and keep everyone updated on here. And get some pictures posted of our house and stuff. Gotta run and get some sleep...
