As it would happen.....

Mike has been home a lot more frequently than we would like at the time, but Adelaide and I are loving the time we get with him! We have been doing a lot. We have fixed up our backyard, and planted our garden. No promises on what will actually grow, but my strawberries are turning red, my raspberries are coming, the little cherries on my tree are green and my zucchini have larger leaves than I would have expected any zucchini of mine to have! I am still waiting to see my corn, peas, butternut squash, carrots and cilantro. I will put up pictures when it looks like more than dirt.

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY UNCLE MITCH!

(I promise there was no alcohol at the party, despite what the red cups and the budweiser mirror and many other posters say...)

Mitch turned 21. His friend Carolyn threw him a really fun party!

It was a jersey party so everyone wore jerseys. There were two TV's with Wii going, music, air hockey, good food, and better friends! Adelaide wore her BYU cheerleader outfit! (GO COUGS! I don't care what the in-laws say, I am still a cougar fan, and she looked dang cute!)

On this rainy Memorial Day, we decided to get outside and go for a hike. We went up to Wallace Falls. It poured the entire time we hiked. It cleared up on the drive home. We were wet and muddy, but we loved being outside and I think Adelaide loved it more than us. Since we are ghetto (and poor) we bought our Kelty Kids Pack at a garage sale. And the really nice ones have little hoods for the babies, but with a little inginuity (all Mike, not me at all), some rope and a little umbrella, Mike had a little system set up for us! We hiked probably 5 miles round trip and enjoyed the greenery that a wet May brings.

I love Addie peeking out behind Mike.
