The past month has been so very busy. I kept wanting to write a blog post but there just wasn't time. We celebrated Kyle's graduation on May 19th. We are so very proud of him. I was afraid I would cry quite a bit as it was such an emotional day, but I did better than expected and only shed a few tears. Mostly it was just a very happy day of celebration.
We have been busy planting garden the past week or so. Hopefully all the rain has not hurt it too much. We would still like to get a pumpkin patch planted for Kaleb and hopefully we can get that done as soon as it drys up a little. Kaleb loves gardening. It is one thing we do together as a family and all enjoy. As I sat weeding the flower bed the other day I thought to myself what great therapy gardening is, and cheaper than a therapist also! Here Kenton and Kaleb are planting sweet corn.
The last couple weeks we have also enjoyed the return of our humming birds. I love to sit outside in the evening and watch them come to the feeder. We have also had cardinals, blue birds, blue jays and gold finches that we have enjoyed watching.
My favorite part of this time of year is the blooming of our iris. They are such a pretty flower.
We have so many blooming right now that you can go and walk through the garden path and you are just hit with the beautiful fragrance from them. All of our iris come from Rainbow Iris Farm that is owned by Kenton's sister and her family.

We have tried hard to not let all the rain this past week get us down. As soon as the sun comes out we put on our boots and head outside.
Kaleb turns 3 on this Sunday, June 2nd. It is hard to believe it has been three years. He is excited for his party that we have been planning.
After Kaleb's birthday I hope to starting focusing on getting ready for the new baby. He will be here in 9 weeks or so! Oh my! So much yet to do. I am tired most all of the time and uncomfortable but very happy. Feeling so blessed right now.
