Anniversary Wishes

July 27th was our 18th wedding anniversary. I though it was nice that Facebook sent me a little card…

I didn't get a card from Jerry but he posted this on Facebook, which was even better!

"Shelly unlike this tree, our love can weather any storm. Happy anniversary."

Second First Egg

Got the first egg from the 2014 chickens today. I have to say it was not as exciting as the first egg last year. Since it is white it is from one of the White Leghorns. We'll never know which one! I haven't found any little brown ones yet so I don't think the Barred Rocks are laying yet. It will be interesting to have white eggs in the fridge after a year of only brown!

Update:

Got our first little brown egg from one of the new Barred Rock gals this evening.

Field Trip: Fry's Tour 2014

Last year we went on a tour of Basha's grocery store, this year we toured Fry's. I didn't take too many pictures, but we had a great time. The gal doing the tour did an awesome job and we got to see all the behind the scenes parts of a grocery store.

As we walked around each department our tour guide kept tossing items into our shopping cart. At the end of the tour we got to take the items home! They were very generous! We were there with 2 other families so we split everything up. We ended up with all kinds of things: string cheese, apples, water bottles, watermelon, cookies, cereal, mac & cheese. We each got a rose from the floral department, between mine and the six kids we had a very nice bouquet to take home.

Each of the kids got a good bag with a pencil, ruler, notepad, and even a match box car too. It was a great time and even though Annabeth had to miss her nap we were glad we went.

Adventures with Annabeth

Let's see what Annabeth has been up to…

May 2, 2014 - Annabeth was excited to get a pair of pink gloves and sunglasses from the dollar store. Ever since she saw the movie Frozen she has loved to wear gloves. The sunglasses are just an added bonus!

June 7, 2014 - Annabeth enjoys a good video chat with Grandma Linda. On this particular day she set up a tea party with Grandma.

June 8, 2014 - I am not one to usually wear toe nail polish, but I had my mom paint my toenails while we were on vacation in Wisconsin. Annabeth asked to have her toenails painted too. So, when we got back to Arizona I bought a bottle of cheap, pink nail polish and painted her toes for the first time. She was super excited!

June 17, 2014 - I called this photo "Silence is NOT golden, it is green." While the rest of the household was busy Annabeth got into the markers and colored herself a nice shade of green. It was washable marker but took a good few minutes of scrubbing to come off in the tub. I should have taken a picture of the water when she got out!

July 12, 2014 - If we can't find Annabeth we can usually find her on the back patio carrying around the cat. Thankfully he is the sweetest, most patient cat and just hangs from her arms until she sets him down again.

Accidental Twins

As we were walking out the door to get some lunch at In N Out we realized Annabeth and I were accidental twins.
