Happy May 2-4 everyone! Finally, the first long weekend of the summer... and the weather sucks. But we made the most of it yesterday and the kids went to the annual fishing derby in Varney. They all look forward to it every year - rain or shine :) This year it was definetly rainy, but they all enjoyed themselves and caught their 3 allotted fish each. Next year, one of them will catch the albino :) Joey even won a baseball mitt for one of his fish. Here's some pictures of the whole adventure....













It was also my birthday this weekend. 32.... I'm getting old :) But it was a great day. We spent the evening with our good friends Steve & Donna (who are getting married in 3 weeks - so excited!!!) and went to Kings Buffet for dinner. That place is AWESOME!!! I had pepper beef, bbq pork, roast chicken, lemon chicken, chicken fried rice, fries & gravy, garlic herbed potatoes, jello, 3 different kinds of ice cream and raspberry macaroons bars. I didn't have room for the chocolate square that I wanted to try, or the pies that looked so yummy :) Oh well, there's always next time! After that, it was Rock Band/Guitar Hero time. I LOVE IT!!!! We had some wine and birthday cake (caramel crunch, yum!) and had an awesome night. All in all, a birthday to remember.

So that's our weekend so far. Now I'm off to re-arrange my china cabinet and fit in my new Royal Doulton - the May gemstone pretty lady. Bye!!!
