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..

Catherine's Wedding

Catherine's wedding was beautiful. Temple square was gorgeous and everyone looked great. It was fun to see everyone, and was a really neat to see Catherine and Todd sealed for time and all eternity.

A week off of school!!!

This has been a another great week here in Mississippi. Michael has had the week off of school. It has been nice he hasn't needed to study but we have both still been working hard. He has been working at the eye center and I have been working online and for the census. So it has been a fairly busy week.
Michael did take a couple afternoon's off so we have been shopping, to the pink palace museum, had a picnic, and watched a few movies enjoying them with our favorite Blue Bell Ice Cream.
