Catching Up - May 2011

I thought that I would do a little catch up on what we have been up to lately.

My work was celebrating their anniversary and hosted a casino/ dueling piano evening. Sue came to Monroe to attend the big event with me. We did not win anything but had a lot of fun. This guy was our dealer for blackjack. We kept doubling down and ended up with a huge hand!

Leah turned 10 on May 10th - Golden Birthday!! She wanted to have a party at the house with a bunch of her new friends. They came over after school and played. Had pizza and ice-cream cake! She had a lot of fun.

Mother's Day was wonderful. The kids made me an awesome breakfast!! Stuffed french toast, fruit kabobs with a fruit dip and of course - bacon! Then we got a bunch of flowers and things and did some planting.

For school, Ryan had to do a big project on Nicaragua. The students were all broken into groups of three and assigned a country. They had to do quite a bit of work on it and then they hosted a "world fair". Each country had a food to taste along with their presentation and costume. Ryan did an awesome job and received an "A" on the project.
