Happy UN-Anniversary to ME!!

My Mom and Step-Dad are on vacation to Wisconsin & Minnesota (mostly MN) ... right now ...  so we are swinging by the house today to spend time with the dogs and check on things, use the grill and do some laundry.

Today is my NOT-versary!

You see .... 20 years ago today, I attended a wedding....  my wedding..... to my first husband.  

On 5-5-96....  that marriage was ....  well this is the visual I like ....

The Judge went back to his chambers after court where our marriage certificate was on his desk and symbolically RIPPED THAT FUCKER UP....  Though, I'd like to pretend a picture of my ex's face was on there too but -----shhhhhhh 

So for my 20th NOT Anniversary - I thought I should have CAKE!   So I got me a "Happy 20th NOT Anniversary" cake!!!

But we went to my Mom's ... right.....

Plants are growing like crazy

This is Ely Mae

Keya did NOT want to look at the camera....  he's 16 years old and showing his age.

Miss Clairah got to play with the boys on bikes and power wheels and the sprinkler today ...

Jax is looking a ton better.  He got STUNG BY A BEE yesterday and his poor little mouth swelled up....  it was WORSE than that too....    but the clear picture is from today.  Much  better.

I made Veggie Packs........ I loooooooooooove my veggies :)

Had a Chicken Ka-bob too

Kale and Shila came home the other day burnt to a crisp!  BURNT.  The first couple of days Kale had sun poisoning.  We think Shila actually got a worse burn, but she wasn't as sick.  Kale was horrible sick.

I had to laugh at one point though cuz Shila turned around and there was this spot on her back that I just laughed and laughed and said "you have a Beta Fish on your back"

The kids "washed the van" and went through the sprinklers 

 Poor Claire-Bear was cold when she came in.

We had gotten some grapes and we were all just snacking away on them.... and then....  we found this.....

 GAG .....  GAG.......

After she got wet, and dressed, and she got wet some more.... teehee...

The second photo below I put as my lock screen - so every time I go to go on my phone, I see her - like she's stuck in my phone.

Here is my HAPPY NOT 20th ANNIVERSARY cake!!!

Clairah was like..... "I'm outty!"

She would get REALLY mad when Spike would go in HIS kiddie pool! LOLOL

She got changed and found Papa's hat.

And then she decided to love on Ely Mae .... now, when Nana and Papa got Ely Mae they were told she wasn't good with little kids.  Well, she's never had a problem with my younger (or older) boys and she certainly didn't have a problem with Clairah ....

She was so poopered out she fell asleep on the way to her other home.

Had to snap these on our way home.

Then we had cake!!!

This was on Facebook and I saw it and I thought - oh hey - someone drew me as a baby!

The best part of today - btw ........... I'm with this guy and have been for 9 years!!
