May

First of all, I was a slacker and didn't get the blog updated the first week or so of June for May.  Then, just my luck, I got some stupid virus on the computer that encrypted everything and wants me to pay $500 to decrypt it.  Needless to say, I have a bunch of encrypted pictures on my computer that is giving me all kinds of problems so until I can get it functioning again I'm left to update the blog on a computer at work.  That means that I have no pictures to add.  I figured I'd plug in an update and then hopefully once my computer is working again (I think we're going to have to wipe out the hard drive) I can post some of our pictures from May.
The first weekend in May was "Guys weekend" at the cabin.  Monty, his brother, and some other friends headed down to a cabin outside of Nephi so Mia and I headed up to Idaho and spent the weekend with my family.  Mia's favorite part about going to Idaho is the huge park that we always go to.  We spent hours at the park on Saturday before hitting up Wendy's for dinner.  Mia thought it was the best day ever.  We spent lots of May working on the basement and I can say it is now completely done (as of Friday).  I guess it finished in June but it's such a big accomplishment I figure I'll mention it now.  The middle of May Monty and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary.  We alternate who plans it each year and it is always a surprise to the other person.  This year was my year to plan.  Mia went up to Idaho for a weekend with Grandma all by herself.  We went zip lining up Provo Canyon, went to dinner, walked along the river, and then ended up staying in Provo that night because we had a baby blessing to go to in Lehi the next day.  My mom brought Mia back down with her when she came for the blessing and we had a great day playing with cousins in Lehi.  Of course Mia saw the park by my cousins house so we had to stop there to play a bit on our way home.
With the warmer weather we have been outside more, playing with friends, riding bikes, planting the garden, and working in the yard.
Memorial day weekend was my holiday to work (the one draw back of being a nurse) but that means I have the 4th and 24th of July off so I thought it was a good trade.  Monty and Mia loaded up and headed out to the west desert and went 4-wheeling with Monty's family.  Of course Mia had a blast and came home completely exhausted and filthy dirty.
Without my pictures to give me a time line I'm having a hard time remembering everything we did.  Hopefully soon my computer will be back up and running so I can throw some pictures in here.
