Happy Memorial Day!

My Girls are nice and patient when I want to play with my camera...


My son...not so much...

 

For Memorial Day we got dressed up in our RW&B and went to the park for a picnic.  It was HOT!!!!  The kids were not loving it so much.  So we bailed a bit early and went swimming in our neighbors pool.  Thanks Diane and Dan!

We BBQ'd ribs.  Cora loved sucking on the bones.  Unfortunately, so did Stella, the neighbor's dog!  I thought this was a pretty funny sequence of photos:
1) Yummy
2) I like this
3) Stella try this, it's good
4) I didn't say take it!
5) Where did it go?
6) STELLA!!!

 

Cora's Trick

Grandpa Gates,
This one is for you! Thanks for all the hours you spent working with her to learn this trick. She finally did it 2 weeks ago. Now she is all over the place.

Granny McBride,
Enjoy!

Messer's New Trick

I am not sure why, but I find this hilarious!

Nice! Gotta Love Fun Dip!

 

Happy Belated Easter!

 

Silly Stairs

Cora has been trying so hard to figure out the stairs.  She was really doing well so I was starting to let her go up and down alone.  As you can see from the photo on the left of her right eye, that wasn't such a great idea. Poor girl had a black eye for 2 weeks.

 

The Produce Box

We started the produce box 2 weeks ago.  It has been fun to see the local produce.  Here is Connor with our first head of Romane Lettuce.  Last week our green onions were a good foot and a half long!


 

Prom Hair

The past two weekends I have been doing prom hair for the young women in our ward.  It is a little scary to be honest.  So much pressure.  But they ended up looking pretty good if I do say so myself.


 

1st Time Voter!

Last week we had elections here in NC.  It was Mike's 1st time voting as a US citizen!

 

Happy Cinco de Mayo

We decided to come to the Yucatan Cantina for Cinco de Mayo. Monica and Joe joined us at the last minute. So festive!
