In the very merry month of May.....

A month in review:

I had my anniversary on the 11th of May, and I've now been married for 14 years!!!! Remember how much it rained the day I got married? It was crazy!!! But then the sun came out for the reception and it was all ok. Here is a picture of my mom and Katherine....I found it on a negative.










I am only growing tomatoes this year because I was lazy and didn't make more planter boxes. Last years box gets too much shade to grow peppers or corn. It does have a few strawberry plants but the snails have eaten most of the berries. My tomatoes are growing in the corner, next to the daisies because that is where I put the old dead plants last year....presto, they seeded themselves. Speaking of those crazy daisies...who knew how big of plants they turn into!!!!

Anya caught me watching The Deadliest Catch. She walked in right when the deckhands were emptying a full pot of king crab. She was mortified!!! She could not believe they were "killing the fish" and that they had to be the worst men on the face of the earth. I told her all the shrimp she loves to eat comes from the sea just like the crab. She is now done eating shrimp...until I buy it again I'm sure.



Yesterday a yippy chihuahua ended up in my back yard. Turns out he was just scared and was soon brought into the house by my 4 children. We posted fliers on the mailboxes and I posted on Craigslist. I'm sure this was someones dog. Last night he stayed in the garage with the door opened just enough for him to get under. (I really didn't want dog poo under my car) This morning though, he has gone. I hope he has found his way back home because I don't want a Chihuahua. He was sweet and loved the kids but my cats hated him. But now Kaleb and Anya are so sad....oh well, they have cats :)

We are leaving this weekend for Disneyland. Anya's birthday is Tuesday and that is what she wanted to do. Having annual passes is great!!! We are staying at the Hyatt with free shuttle to the park. Abigail is now tall enough for all the rides at Disneyland....she is going to love Splash Mountain!!!

Stolen


Poor little Anya...her bike has been stolen. Her brand new Christmas bike from Santa was taken from our front yard. She has forgotten to put away her bike more times than I care to count, and I told her to stop forgetting...Stockton is a great place to live if you like to have things taken from you. I'm so sad for her, she really loved to ride it. Her birthday is May 26th and I have thought about buying her a new bicycle but I'm afraid she would just leave it out again. Grrr....I'm so frustrated!!!!
