Happy Birthday George!

George William Bates (unofficially the III)
Born 15 August 1981 at 10:37 p.m.
Weighed: 8.11 lbs Length: 22"
(Once again, unofficial stats)

We had a little redneck party for George. We went to a town in Nebraska called Wisner, about an hour and a half outside of Omaha. It was their annual truck and tractor pull. There was some great people watching, and I've never seen so many souped up tractors in my life! It was entertaining, but a little too loud.


For his birthday I made him rhubarb pie, we ate the WHOLE thing in less than a day. Which was good because we were leaving town for a week, yay Cedar City! I got him his favorite board game Ticket to Ride-Europe... I'd never even heard of this game before I met George, but it's pretty fun. As well as some replacement camping gear that was lost during our epic kayak trip this spring.

I love being married to George and am so happy that he was born!
