Belly up to the Bar



Our kitchen table can sit 8 people when the leaf is in. I prefer not to have the leaf in during normal business hours as it take extra effort to walk around it and it starts to collect junk that we just move to the side of the table when it's time to eat. Last weekend we put the leaf in during a family Mother's Day party.



On Monday morning, I realized I had not taken out the leaf...and was a bit frusterated as I could not figure out a way to get it out all by myself...so we kept it in. When we sat down for dinner Monday night, Emily discovered the perfect way to use up the extra space....invite 'Ol Alyson to join us. It actually worked great...and Alyson had a good time too. I'll just have to add her to the kitchen job list now.

This Connie lady is nuts. You know durn-well what will happen if you leave that leaf in. Bad Habits, that's what'll happen. Yup, Alyson will be floppin herself up onto that table (or anyones table for that matter) when she's 48, single and refuses to eat unless she's horizontal!

Snug as a Bug in a Rug....

Kelsey is a bit of a wild sleeper. We usually find at least one appendage hanging (or stuck) out of the crib. The poor girl was REALLY stuck this time. She's asleep in this picture, but didn't sleep long once we started the routine to unstick those thighs.

What a Weekend!

With the beautiful weather this weekend, it was time to PLANT THE GARDEN. We started Friday night and finished up Saturday morning. Whew! I wish I could say the hardest part is behind us...but now we need to keep up on the weeding. YUCK! Oh well... (Strawberry Patch) (Vegetable Garden) Luckily we had lots of help from Kelsey and Cyrus...not quite sure was Emily is doing...but I'm sure it helped us get that garden in. We also took a trip north to Roy to celebrate cousin Conner's birthday party. It was a quick little trip, but we enjoyed some cake, jumping on the trampoline, and playing with Conner's new toys. On the way back, we decided to stop in at the local "after hours" doctor clinic. Cyrus had jumped out of our swing Friday afternoon and had been favoring his hand ever since. It looked a bit swollen so we thought we should probably have it checked out. SURPRISE! He had broken his wrist. He is now in a splint until the swelling goes down, then he gets a "r...
