South Carolina

Today we are getting everything ready to head out to South Carolina. We will be gone for a little over a week. We are excited to see David come home from his mission and to have a nice relaxing week, with family and no work! I am sure after this weekend we will have a bunch of pictures to post! :)

Latest Project

This is a game I just finished making for Alden. It took a little while just because I had to collect all of the lids from different jars for a while! :)
So far he seems to like it. He can usually get the 10 cent lids in the can, just because there are two slots that they actually fit in, the others he needs help with. But he does seem to like to play with it, I think it is because it makes noise.

Memorial Day and other pictures

This is one of Alden's new favorite things to do, digging in the dirt and then eating especially in all of the plants we have at home.

On Memorial Day we went to Holy Springs, MS where we tried some great hamburgers and then went to a state park, where Michael did some studying and I finished up some work for the Census.


Alden also had his pictures taken, those are going to come in about a week or so, but this is him at home crawling around later that day.

Alden's favorite toy of the week

The other day Michael and I heard Alden laughing in the kitchen, we came in to see him opening and closing this piece of paper. He was playing peek-a-boo with all of the babies on the Sears add. (That is why there is a tri-fold) He would laugh every time he saw all of the babies. I thought it was pretty cute!

One Busy week

This week has been rather busy. I worked about 30 hours, Michael who is still in classes worked a bunch and helped me out because of everything I was doing. So overall we are all glad it is Sunday and a day to rest. Alden is also glad to have some time to rest after many long days for him as well.

Only a couple more weeks of classes and of the census and then we will be all ready to play after working hard!

sugar

I just bought sugar for the first time since Michael and I have been married! Now if you are thinking that Michael and I do not eat sugar you are wrong, we were just given a lot of sugar for our wedding.
In the last year and a half Michael and I have eaten 30 pounds of sugar! According to statistics I guess that is fairly normal. An average American now eats about 142 pounds of sugar a year, but that includes all sugar found in ready made food, eating out, etc..
