Welcome Back

Actually, we haven't been gone. But since it has been two weeks since we shared anything, it seemed like a homecoming. What have we been doing?
May has been growing her garden like a mo-fo. You have to know that her garden area is about ten feet by one foot, and yet most times I think she reaps as much as full-time farmers. If we had local fairs like the old days, she would have many a blue ribbon. That's a for sure.

Adelaide's cowboy dreams came true (again) when she got to ride a horse all by herself.

Addie also had her first venture into the world of roller skating.

And although she still prefers to ride in the stroller than skate, she still insisted on wearing her skates while cruising around.

We tried doing Onion Days in Payson for the hundredth straight year. Too bad it was the day of the Hundred Year Storm.

It rained so hard the drainage system all overflowed. There were inches of water running down the street with the paraders. Lightning was crashing all around and the heavy rainfall and winds totally drowned out the feeble attempts to stay dry under umbrellas and canopies. Thats right. Utah, September 1 = 42 degrees!

And then this morning I realized just how long Adelaide's hair had gotten in these two weeks. See what you don't notice when you don't blog?!

HERE SHE IS TODAY IN THE TUB


HERE SHE WAS JUST TWO WEEKS AGO (I THINK)

It's a good thing you skated before 9/1 and the new age limit, but why did everyone have to go the one weekend we were gone? Uggh.

So, I ran the Payson 10-K in that horrid weather and Ambree was supposed to be in the Onion Days parade with her dance class but I did not want to make her sit on a float in that rain! You guys are awesome to stay for the parade!

Time does fly that's for sure! I love the hair picture! It reminded me of this . Although, I think Adelaide wins the hair height contest!
