Cave of Bells

A few weeks ago we went to Cave of Bells with Stacy, Artie and Tyler.  It was so much fun and the cave was amazing.

Backyard Update

We decided to use our tax return on our back yard. So not only did we put a garden in, but we also added grass!  We absolutely love it, but our dogs might love it even more.  It has definitely cut down on the amount of dirt and dust in our house so that is a big plus.  We spend so much more time in our back yard, it makes me so happy :)


The garden is also doing amazing!  After only a few weeks from planting we had things sprouting all over the place.  Now it has been just over a month since planting and everything is growing like crazy, especially the corn, tomatoes and sunflowers.  We have already picked some tomatoes.  I even gave Jacob a few for his birthday.  And I have used some of my basil in my cooking.  It is awesome having a garden!  Check out the pics!
Corn!
Aren't they beautiful!

The irrigation is in. No more watering by hand!

Michael's Birthday

For Michael's birthday we took him out to The Keg for dinner, of course it was amazing.  Although Michael decided to try the escargot, which I dont think he was a fan of.  Luckily the prime rib there is so delicious.


On Michael's actual birthday he had to work a twelve hour clinical shift, but I wanted him to have something fun for his birthday so when he got home he found a basket with a note telling him I wanted to tell him 27 things I love about him, but he would have to find them first.  I sent him on an easter egg hunt around the house.  He had a lots of fun.
For Michael's Birthday, along with family, we got Michael a new BBQ grill.  He loves it!  In the last month we have used it multiple time each week and already went through one tank of propane.  Michael is an excellent griller!
