One Eyed Willy

As if my life isn't crazy enough... My dog had to go and lose an eye!
I'll make a long story short:
Our big dog Sawyer and the little dog DJ were rough housing last Friday. Sawyer got too rough and bit the back of Dj's neck and severed the muscles from his left eye. I got home and noticed that my dogs eye was almost hanging out of his eye socket. After I screamed and almost fainted, I took him to the vet and he got surgery the next morning. They could not save the eye.
Sadly, we took Sawyer to the pound because he was just too rough for our family. All turned out fine, DJ is doing great, and the kids now call him "One eyed Willy".

Loving May

I love May! It's sunny, it's warm, it's Derek Jeter season, I mean baseball season and summer is only one month away!

This last weekend was a buzzzzzy one for me! In order to prepare for my Relief Society lesson I spent most of Saturday making my handout. (Welcome to the life of an over-achiever!)
I made 50 bumble bees out of fondant, and put them on top of 50 cupcakes.


Cassidy spent all afternoon helping me!
(Over-achiever in training)
The saying on the bottom of the cupcake says...
"Forgiveness is a funny thing... it warms the heart and cools the sting."





The final product! All the women loved them...and I think they liked my lesson too


Happy Mother's Day!
I was surprised with breakfast and a basket Sunday morning!
Sunday evening, I had about 15 people over for dinner for a
Mexican feast! 4 pans of enchiladas later...we were a happy bunch!
Of course I talked to my momma and told her how much I loved her too!
I have the best mom in the world! It makes me cry when I think about how much
she does for me! And hello...she's beautiful!


The Graduate!
Our little Princess graduated Kindergarten today!


I couldn't focus the camera because I was crying while she walked down the aisle
to the graduation song.


All the kids got up and told what they wanted to be when they grew up. Most said
a doctor or a vet. Cassidy said, "When I grow up I want be a barrel racer in the rodeo."





Just because I'm camera happy
