Highlights:
- My brother, Cade, hit his one year mark on his mission!
- We went out to dinner at Bandera with the Worthen's who were in town for a work retreat! We laughed and joked all night with them.
- Kasey's fourth had his first birthday!
- Cinco de Mayo party at the Rubalcava's with some families from Brandon's work. No surprise to anyone that Brandon dressed the part. We had lots of delicious food and two pinatas chuck full of candy for the kids.
- Mother's Day! I had a lovely time and got the best gifts ~ a break from being a mom (ironic, but it's the best) and a coupon book from Brandon full of chore coupons - yes!
- I found the nastiest, and largest centipede ever in our front yard! The body was the size of a twix bar, and even a bit longer. I covered it with a tupperware and then called my bug guy to make an appointment and then had him tell me how to kill it. He was funny, because he patiently gave me step by step instructions, which was essentially just to beat it with a shoe. My heart was beating so hard and I felt like it was the bravest thing I've done all year! :) The mom inside me knew Rachel would want to see it, so I killed it without destroying it's body, so that I could scoop it into a ziploc bag and save it in the freezer to show Rachel when she got home from school. She loved it of course, and showed all the neighbor boys!
- Kendall turned into a toddler this month and has become like every other 18 month old - all of a sudden she is clingy to me and has wanted to be held. She is also talking up a storm and has the cutest little voice. I know that she's kind of late to the party (third child), but she just discovered that she has a belly button, and she shows everyone. As soon as daddy gets home from work, she lifts up her shirt and points to her belly button in complete elation as if to say, "It's still here, dad! Best day ever!"
- All the kids got haircuts. Andrew got a buzz and still thinks haircuts are pure torture, but it's nothing that a ring pop and movie can't solve. Rachel wanted short hair again, so our friend, Mandy worked her magic on both the girls.
- It's starting to get hot around here! It hit 107 a few times this last week.
