Carrots for Breakfast + Video





Celeste: "I just don't feel like oatmeal and bananas today. How about some carrots instead? It does great things for my skin."

Spontaneous FHE / Fishing Trip



Celeste enjoyed looking at the creek, trees, and campfire.

We went to Birch Creek last night. It's a BLM campground that is 9+ miles long. I've made many maps of it. Scott caught a lot of little rainbow trout. Celeste and Bethany enjoyed the scenery. We had chili dogs and dutch oven peach cobbler. We were lucky to find a can opener for sale at the cafe up the highway because ours didn't come on the trip. It's a neat area. The Lemhi Shoshone camped and hunted here. There is a large panel of prehistoric rock paintings across the highway from there. The Nez Perce had a skirmish with miners here when they were fleeing the US military. There are old mines and ghost towns. We hope to go camping in the mountains above it in August when the snow melts.

Tomorrow (May 6) is going to be a very exciting day! We get to go to the Bonneville County Court house to finalize Celeste's adoption. We are very excited and working on getting ready for the celebration.

Happy 6 Month Birthday Celeste!




Celeste wanted to eat the cake, but I think she was only able to get a tiny taste of the frosting. She'll have to wait for her 1 year birthday to get the real thing.

We got back from our visit to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake. They looked at Celeste and her X-Rays & Ultra Sounds. We are happy to report that she doesn't need surgery right away. The doctor wants to wait until she is at least a year old. There is still the possibility that she will grow out of the reflux and then she wouldn't need surgery. =O) So in the mean time she will be on preventative antibiotics.
