Not Black anymore

Hello all! I am excited to say that I think the black thumb curse is gone thanks to miracle grow and a whole packet of seeds (2 packages actually) See so wade and I got really excited about having home grown cilantro and other herbs last year so we bought a 2 packets of seeds and a bag of miracle grow.. time passed 1 year and 2 months later we still had them sitting in our garage. I decided one day to try our my planting skills and finally rid myself of the guilt I felt every time I saw the sad seeds still in their packets. I dumped in the dirt and decided to just dump both packets of seeds (cilantro and something else?? maybe basil or parsley?) into the dirt and cover it. I dumped in some water and expected very little from my year old seeds and dirt. I check 4 days later and I see little buds sticking up.. 7 days later and they looked like a little afro of green... and now 2 weeks later here are my beautiful cilantro plants. The other seed take 21 days to sprout. I am not really sure what will happen then and I have no idea if I will be able to tell them apart or if there will be some sort of mutant herb but I love it still the same. Anyone up for some salsa at the end of summer? I smell a fiesta coming on.

This year for the 4th Wade and I went to Logan to visit my dear friend Ronelle and her husband Steven and also to visit with my brother Rob and his family. We came up Thursday night and then Friday morning Wade and his brother Tom went for a bike ride. I went shopping and got a steal of a deal for two dresses (yay 10 bucks for two beautiful dresses) Nice!

Then on the 3rd we went to see the fireworks at the USU stadium. We watched it from the bench and then realized that you couldn't see the fireworks from there so we scrambled to find a clear view. We found one and didn't miss too much of the show.

That night we had a sleepover with my niece and nephew and then in the morning Wade Tom and Rob all went paint balling and then we all went to the parade held in Hyrum. It was so funny because there was this really aggressive little girl stealing everyones candy. You can see her compared to Maleia he was huge and kept stealing all her candy. I had to go out there and mediate a little. She is the one in the blue shirt and jean shorts After the Parade we went to Ronelles again and had tacos and plantains. It was a great time One of the best 4th of July weekends ever. =)

Why does he always get himself hurt?

Recently Wade crashed twice on his mountain bike. I may have him log on and tell the story himself later but for now here are the pictures...and people ask me why I don't mountain bike with him??
both elbows both Knees and both shoulders.
