I have been getting comments on me ironing that I just have to say that Mike has to have a nice, ironed shirt for work. I've tried taking them out of the dryer as soon as it turns off, but even after hanging for a few hours, or days, they are not up to snuff. Mike is also so picky about having his shirts ironed. And yes, he could do it, but he really can't. It takes him 15 minutes to iron one shirt. It's painful to watch. And he has taken a second job, so he really doesn't do much more than shower, eat breakfast (sometimes), and sleep here. Except for Sunday and we don't do much on Sundays anyway. Well, Mike and Ethan nap, I have meetings galore! I'll gladly iron for any of you, for a price!

Off to the temple

Yesterday Ethan found Mike's temple bag, grabbed it and said, "I'm off to the temple." He is so excited to get to go to the temple someday. When we go, he always tells me he wants to go too. I explain to him that he has to wait 9 more years. We are looking forward to the Corner Canyon Temple open house so he can go inside the temple. I just know he'll love it.

And he's off!

Napoleon Dynamite

I was ironing today and needed something to watch to make the time go by faster and Napoleopn Dynamite was on. When I first saw the movie 4 years ago, I didn't know whether to laugh or not. Now, I just laugh because it's so funny.

You know you can go to the Bean Museum at BYU and get a Liger shirt with Napoleon's drawing on it?

My favorite show is back

And guess what? I have to be to young women's and we don't have a DVR or a VCR that records!

Mmm, cookies

Mike has been working late a lot lately and I have to find things to do at night time, Mike and Ethan's normal play time. Thursday night we made MnM cookies. They are so yummy! I think we have 4 left! Ethan was so excited to make cookies. We both wore our aprons, thanks Lizzy and Emily for the cool apron. Ethan is a good helper lately. He not only clears his place after a meal, but he wipes the table off too. Yesterday when I was dusting, he dusted the piano bench. When we made cookies, Ethan put the whole bag of MnM's in the cookie dough all by himself and didn't even spill. (A major thing seeing that he spills everything, it's a Herrington thing!)

Doesn't he look excited to be making cookies?

Birthday celebration

Mike and I had to be greeters at the adult session of stake conference on Saturday night so we didn't have cake and ice cream on Ethan's birthday. We waited until the next night when we were at my parents' house. This is Ethan's t-rex cake I made. Mike and Ethan helped decorate it.

Ethan was not patient enough for cake, he really wanted to dig into the presents.
Ever since my oldest cousin turned 3, my grandma made all her grandchildren who turned 3 a nap quilt for their birthday. I got a really great one that I still love and can only use when I am at my mom's house because it is tattered and embarrasses Mike to have in our house. My mom has carried on this tradition with her grandchildren. When Meg turned 3 six months ago, Mom asked Ethan what color blanket he wanted, he said green. This is the result--
I love it and so does Ethan. Thanks Mom!

Somehow we were able to get Ethan to the cake to blow out his candles. He never did even eat any cake at all. It's really good, I may go have some for breakfast.
