Month of May

The month of May has been a little busy for us! But at least we got Sydnee graduated from Kindergarten! She was so excited and looked so cute. Her teacher announced what each child wanted to be when they grow up. This list included one girl wanted to work at Albertson's (I wonder where her mom works), a teacher, a mother, a doctor, a fireman, an APS employee ( I know where his dad works), and topping off the list... Sydnee wants to be a Vet. Go figure, she attracts or is attracted to any and all animals. I don't know if she could handle it though because she cries at Fox and the Hound.

On Monday we celebrated the Memorial holiday with Payce's birthday. He wanted to go fishing and have a food fight also. We managed to find the fishing but I have prolonged the food fight. For one, who thinks of that? And two, who would allow that? Me I guess. My plans are to draw boundaries in the field and put food in each corner and let them have at it. I will have to remember to post the results!

Then there is Kai. Nothing special for her this month. She has been so good lately. She just goes along with the flow and you always find her asking, "Where we going now?" Good thing we have a pair of shoes for her in each vehicle so when we are all in we know her shoes are somewhere. It doesn't matter what she is wearing but you can be sure as soon as we get home she goes directly into her room and puts on her "nanna pants". Also known as pajama pants.

It was also grandma Helen's birthday. We all jumped in the car Saturday morning and went down to the ASU game. Why I do not know. We could have watched it in an air conditioned home and drove nowhere but we had fun. The kids swam and we had a good time. By the way.... this yard was not landscaped by Spike Landscaping & Tree Trimming!

Earlier in the month Taya turned 11. She had a small party at the house where a few friends came over and we made hair bows. It was a lot of fun. It was relaxing and worthwhile. Every now and then I even attempt to do their hair now that we made more bows. She celebrated the day by going on an all day field trip to Space Camp down in Peoria on a bus with no AC. This is her new 4-H pig. We went to Buckeye and got it. By the time we got to Anthem we had to stop to buy ice and pour all over the pigs. It was hot.

We have our anniversary on Saturday and then we should be all through with the May celebrations. The kids are all playing ball except for Sydnee. Her mean mom didn't sign her up on time so I told her we could do barrel racing practice instead. She is excited and has her first rodeo in our pasture on Saturday at 7 am. We are looking forward to school getting out next week.
