May Birthdays


Hannah & Joshua with his favorite animal. It's always fun when you get to feed your favorite animal. We got to feed 2 giraffes when Todd's mom/Grandma Judy took us to the zoo. Too bad for the darkness of the picture.

The kids with Grandma at Westgate after eating at Johnny Rockets.

At Johnny Rockets.

Petting sting rays/manta rays-whatever. And one of Joshua's trademark camera poses.

The kids with their silver medals in hockey. They played hard & I'm so proud of how they never gave up & they did their best every game. It's Joshua's 1st medal & Hannah's 5th.



Happy Birthday to these "May" people:
Alexis-our friend, 2 years old (she was just a newborn at Joshua's 4th b-day party)
Wendy-Todd's sister
Paul-our friend
&
Of Course:
JOSHUA
Our crazy-psycho-biscuit is 6 years old on May 17th


We had a fun time with Todd's mom when she came to visit last week. I got all my shifts covered so I didn't have to work which was very nice. We watched movies,ate out,played games,& went to the Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium.

The kids won a silver medal in hockey on Wednesday as you can already see from the picture above.

I'm busy planning for Joshua's party on Sunday. We needed to do it early because of Saturdays I have to work in May & our surprise birthday trip to Disneyland on his actual birthday. Keep it quiet! Neither of the kids know.
We did Hannah's 6th b-day there & are planning our week vacation there this October for her b-day again. Our passes are blocked out on 5/16 so we have to leave Sunday & are staying only one night. We'll be there all day Sunday & Monday and coming home after closing Monday night. We'll wake him up first (very early) & surprise him. Then he can wake up Hannah & tell her. It's so hard to keep this surprise inside! I can't wait. We had planned 2 nights but realized Hannah absolutely needs to be at her last theater practice on Tuesday because her showcase is that Friday 5/22.
Tomorrow I need to make his birthday cakes. We also have a family portrait appointment & a play to go to tomorrow-luckily they are both free. The Penguins play too so it's a busy Saturday.
Todd's mom brought him a Steelers foam "brick" to throw at the TV for bad calls & such. It may come in handy during hockey playoffs too. Which reminds me Joshua threw it behind the TV....

I plan on posting a few more zoo pictures & some from the party next week. If you didn't already see it, scroll down to watch Joshua's party invitation.

Upcoming May events are a Father/Daughter dance which is a sock hop,Hannah's Mother's Day dance recital,Disneyland, & Hannah's theater performance. Check back soon!
