Unamused potato, or face of a turtle? You be the judge.

Random Photos, that took me forever to finally share
Even though I wish with every fiber of my being that we had grass, or the time/money it will take to create a lawn, I still dig our backyard, especially on a cloudy day
I love our trees.
From a sunny, rainy day.
Playing in the rain is so much fun!
I adore it when they are sweet to each other.
I love my sister!
This is the volume knob on the headphones in the library. All I see is a happy monkey.
This is what I look like when I accidentally lock myself out of my house, but am lucky enough to have my phone to call hubby, and to amuse myself with by taking photos until hubby saves me.
This is what confused wuppy looks like, when she just wants me to come in already and pet her.
This is a real, live caterpillar that looks like bird poop. It turns into a Swallowtail butterfly.
An instagram collage.
Some lovely butterflies at the Desert Museum. I want to get that kind of milkweed in our front yard. It was COVERED with these beauties.
Until next time

Random Photos
One of Ami’s creations with the word board I made. I hadn’t expected them to draw with the magnets, but am thrilled they do! They all do it, but Ami does it the most often. It makes me smile every time I walk past and see another creation.
I love that man!
Sandy and Donny are all grown up.
This is from this summer. We got to have lunch with one of our favorite people! We love you, Burr!
Awesome $15 thrift store find! It is heavy duty and they all rock it!
Even the biggest kid!
A rare moment of affection from this summer. They are usually too busy bickering, to hug each other. They were waiting for their Hip Hop class to start. They love that class!
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
I have been super busy and have all sorts of ideas to keep me even busier. Oi!
Love!!!

Fun At The Library and Flowers
We are participating in the Adventure Pass at the public library.
They have activities and give away prizes and awesome coupons.
Jeremia read one of his favorite books while we made books.
And flowers, because…well why not.
I love the little cross that sticks out of the center.
Happy Friday!

Fun With Instagram and Other Photos
I enjoyed tea not Coke, but I love the photo all the same.
Der was pushing JP around in the shopping cart at Target and putting random things on him. This was my favorite!
Der gave legs to 2 rolls that were stuck together and viola, it’s a dog.
Oh my!
Pensive.
Other random shots, not with Instagram:
My first ever baked cheesecake. It was a huge hit.
I want to get eyelashes for my truck.
Der wants his own half bus to hang on the wall.

Random Photos
Just a bunch of random photos that have nothing to do with each other.
Enjoy!
I like how the kids look like fire. They were running in circles, creating a whirlpool.
Der dangling, just to see if he still could.
Piper “flying”. Uncle Der would hold her in front of the vent so her hair would blow and we would all make flying noises. It’s the simple things in life!
Waiting for swimming lessons to begin. It sure was bright!
This may be a sign that we watch too much Judge Judy around here. Jeremia drew up a contract for Conrad and him to sign.
It says, “This contract states that Conrad Petz will give me (Jeremia Petz) a Halo guy, if I shoot one bullet out of a Nerf gun, while standing up against a wall, but I have to hit the target on the other side of the room.”.
They even did thumbprints in red ink, not blood, thank goodness. The Halo guy in question is under the signatures.
This, as I suspected, all ended in a fight.
Jeremia thinks he’s a cat.
A little something I made for my niece Cassie. She’s going to be a mama any day now! I can’t wait to meet little Sophia Christine!
A really cool window display at one of our local Bookman’s.
Just in case you haven’t seen the video this is based on, check it out…
Cool, no?!
Happy Friday everyone!

Clever
Der set up the pool last weekend to the cheers of us all.
He couldn’t get the hose to stay in the pool, so the tree gave him a hand.
I do so love functional art.

Fun Find
A whopping 3 bucks is what this cost me.
Not only is it cool looking, it’s fun to play with. Now I just need to find a fun, brightly colored, vintage typewriter for cheap. My eyes are pealed

Before I get to today’s post I want to let you all know that I’ve decided to extend the time limit you have to enter the sticker giveaway. I added an update to yesterday’s post providing the deets, but here they are cut and pasted for your reading pleasure.
I’ve decided to extend the timeline for the sticker giveaway. You now have until midnight, May 14th to enter. This will allow late readers time to enter. I’ll announce the wiener (snort, snort) Tuesday the 15th. Don’t think that you can’t enter to win just because we know each other. So far I know at least 50% of my readers on some level. Some of you are old friends from school, some are cancer world friends, some are family-don’t let that stop you. The winner will be chosen at random. Oh and don’t worry, commenting doesn’t sign you up for mailing lists or any other such nonsense. And free stuff is always awesome, soooo enter, enter, enter!
So you have no excuse, unless you just don’t like cool, one-of-a-kind stickers, for free?!?!? Make sure your comment is left on yesterday’s post, not today’s. And now that I am officially done harassing you, please enjoy today’s regularly scheduled post, already in progress. 
Animal Magnetism or Carnivorous Cats
It’s fledgling season and so we had a replay of one of last years posts where I was awoken in the wee hours of the morning by screams coming from my bathroom. Yesterday morning was the same exact scenario, but this time the poor crying fledgling was a Curved Bill Thrasher. We rescued it from the evildoer cats and set it in some well covered bushes out of our yard to be free and wild, but not before we took advantage of the amazing photo-op.
At first I thought the red between his beak and eye was a scratch, but he had it on both sides so I guess it’s just part of him.
If you look closely by the red marks you can see feathers that look just like black whiskers.
A kiss for good luck. Conrad said, “I never kissed a bird before.”.
And he was off to make his way in the world, hopefully free of rotten cats.
