SAN FRANCISCO 2011 Michelle and Me

From Top to Bottom
1. Michelle in front of Pier 39
2. Michelle, on cruise, in front of Golden Gate Bridge
3. Waiting for trolley ride.
4. Leaving Pier 39 and going home
5. WAITING at the airport for our flight.

I needed to go to an A.P. Government conference this summer. I was able to take Michelle with me. Only one problem - she is just less than 2 months from her due date. First of all people told her not to fly; then we got yelled at for thinking about going on the speed boat from Pier 39.

We did a LOT of shopping and eating. I had a great time and it was so much better to have Michelle there with me.

Adilynn stays for the weekend - July 2011

Adilynn stayed for the weekend while Mitch and Brittany had a little break (temple, dinner, marathon for Mitch and movies).
It was fun having her! She loves playing in the water.

LEARNING ABOUT THE DOGGIE DOOR

FATHER'S DAY 2011

g



The family got together for Father's Day on Saturday and Sunday. Steven got a new grill so we had a lot of awesome food. But he did cook a lot - hot dogs, hamburgers, steaks, chicken and even did dutch oven cobbler! Okay, it was more like Mother's day. The kids gave him a grill cleaner and a hiker stove (for trail cooking). The BEST was having the grandchildren.

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

Friday night Michelle and Kyle family arrived. Saturday we went to "Kung-Fu Panda 2". Brayden was laughing and fighting through the movie. He was more fun to watch than the movie.

Mockie (the dog) decided Brayden was her new friend and went everywhere he did.

Addyson was so cute; she says "I love you" and is such a cuddling girl.

Then we went to Mom's house on Monday to say goodbye to Lawrnel's family. We got to see Adilynn - she is such a little girl; she loves to play with dolls and "girl things"- Lucky Mitch :).
