The Month of May

The Month of may has flown by!   There was so much happening!  My oldest daughter, Crystal had a Birthday and turned 27!  

   Shortly there after, I had a Birthday!  I wish I could say I was 27, however, that was not the case!  lol
              Here are a few pics from my Birthday!

We went to King Gyros for supper, on my Birthday!  I Love eating there!

Mom got some of my family together and surprised me with a trip to Olive Gardens for lunch, which is one of my favorite placed to go!  

We also went shopping at a few little shops in Kickapoo that I like.  Thank You so much, Mom for a wonderful day!

Well, next in May was Mother's Day!

John and I fixed lunch for our Mothers.  We made grilled Tilapia, grilled veggies, Asian salad, fruit salad and lemon dessert!  It was very good!

My kids got together a little later in the day and got me  gift certificates for a day at the spa!  It was wonderful!

Here are some pics of me and my kids....

And now I will ask you.....What Mother's Day would be complete without a trip to the Emergency Room??

Derek had been complaining about his arm hurting for a few hours.  We tried the usual, ice packs and ibuprofen but it just wasn't working.  So up to the ER we drove.   

Very tired

Turns out that he pulled a muscle and had to wear a sling for several days!  Poor Derek!!

Thanks for visiting my blog....Love to all!

                                        

Beautiful Day

We have had a lot of rain and the humidity has been high.  We finally had a pretty decent day and everyone wanted to be outside!  First, I had to do some laundry.  I looked outside and John was working in the garden.

Getting ready to plant beets

18 tomato plants

Onions are up!

 Then I  left and went to the store, the bank, and the

post office.  When I got back, I looked outside again.

 John was still working in the garden and now Derek is helping!

So, I made some homemade spaghetti sauce and put it in the crock pot.  Then it was downstairs to do more laundry.  Beds were made, lunch over, bathroom cleaned.  I looked back outside and saw this.....

John and Derek were still busy working in the garden.  They did cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, 2 kinds of radishes, 4 cherry tomatoes, 18 regular tomato plants, onion seeds, more onion sets, green beans, beets, habaneros, jalapenos, 3 colors of bell peppers, potatoes, watermelon and probably something that I forgot!  Can't wait for the harvest!

In the meantime,

I finished the laundry, put all the clothes away, vacuumed, picked out all the clothes for Sunday,filled medicine boxes and piddled around for awhile.  When I looked out the back door, I seen this.....

Concentrating

going for the Father of the Year award!

Wow..great catch!

Yes Derek, that was a ball

Dive for it

and of course, can't for get the dog...
