Looky what I found Part II

Well, I woke up to this mess Wednesday morning (May 13th). I was worried about what to do with the bird nest in the Christmas Cactus....well, the cats took care of it for me. Two of the eggs were missing and one egg was cracked and not to mention the mess on my back porch. I threw the nest away....poor moma bird! The leg on my ceramic bunny was broken, but I was able to glue it back into place. I KNEW this was going to happen eventually especially when the baby birds were born.

Andy came over to play

Andy, Mary's son, came over to play one day while she took Sam to the doctor. The kids enjoyed their time together playing outside and chasing lizards. YUCK!!!

Monster Jeep

Rylee thinks he is driving a monster truck/jeep. This is a stump in the backyard, and the kids like to drive the jeep over it (or at least try to drive over it usually they get stuck). The jeep is missing A LOT of parts because Rylee is VERY rough while driving. Look out when you see him coming. :)

Elvis

When I was on the Elvis website, I did not know what I was doing when I added the Graceland posting below. I was looking at something new, and it said to grab it and follow the directions....so this is what I got. Oh well, if you do not already know by now, I am a HUGE Elvis fan. Love his music, visiting Graceland, watching his movies, collecting Elvis ornaments, and whatever else Elvis you can think of. I have Elvis checks and an Elvis ringtone on my cell phone. My husband and kids think I am totally crazy and of course, they DO NOT like him at all. Maybe one day, I will rub off onto them...wishful thinking I know. :)

Mother's Day

Moma and Me
I cooked supper for my moma and the in-laws. There were 16 of us including the kiddos. I grilled whole chickens, green beans, corn & rice casserole, spinach artichoke dip, baked potatoes, salad, and rolls. Bethany brought an apple pie with ice cream.

For almost 36 years, it has been only Moma and Me (my Daddy passed away when I was 4 mos old). Moma made several sacrifices for me and I am grateful for that. I can only imagine how difficult that was for her to lose her husband and to have to raise a 4 mo. baby on her own. Luckily, she had a lot help from both sets of grandparents. Mother's Day is a day to celebrate and appreciate your moms. I hope everyone had a terrific Mother's Day!!

Caleb and Me
These pictures are before church. The boys gave my a box set of Tresor by Lancome perfume. I have enough smelly stuff to last a looonnngggg time. ......came with three different sizes of perfume, body lotion, bubble bath, and hand lotion. What precious boys and husband I have!!!

Looky what I found

I was watering some of my flowers on Friday, and I found a visitor in my Christmas Catus (this is a very fragile plant and from my MeMaw). I googled bird nest to discover that I have a Sparrow visitor. The website that I was on said to destroy the eggs because these birds are pest and kill Blue Birds. YIKES!!! Everyone KNOWS that I am an animal lover!!! How can I destroy these innocent little baby birds?!? I slow down for birds in the road and stop and move turtles off of the road. This plant stand is about 3ft high....accessible for kitties. They will probably handle my bird issue for me, but damage my catus in the process. Blue Birds are a lot prettier than Sparrows!
