The biggest post of all time!

Wow. I didn't realize it had been the end of May since my last post. I guess I have really been slacking. It's been really busy around here. Let's see...where to start.

There is a stray cat who was taunting Scooter months back and she would run around our yard. Well back in April she decided to have kittens in the yard behind ours. That house is abandoned and so the "mom-cat" decided that is where her and her kittens would live. We actually saw them the day they were born. They were so tiny. The reason we saw them is because she gave birth to them right on the other side of the fence and Scooter was barking insanely. Anyhow, John started hopping over the fence every night to feed mom-cat. I'm not a cat fan, but I felt bad for the kittens. It wasn't their fault their mom got knocked up. So anyway, this is them a few weeks later...



Because I got tired of calling them by color etc, I gave them all names. I know...it was the beginning of the end. I started getting attached. Well we still feed them everyday...but now they come over into our side yard to eat so John doesn't have to hop the fence. Sometimes he plays with them too. One day John decided to kitty nap 2 of them. The mom cat was pretty mad at John. These are our new little kitties.

Meet Socks...she is John's favorite.




Meet Scout...he is my favorite.





So now we have 2 kitties. Have no fear though...they will be outside cats...because all though they are cute right now, they WILL become cats and I am not cool with cats running around my house. But for now, they are hanging out in the office in my house until they get bigger.

Next...we had the dance recital and sadly I didn't even have one picture on my camera. Oh well...I have danced in plenty of them. No worries. The week after recital we went to a Dodger game. Before you freak out...it was a Dodger vs. ANGELS game. Dr. Ahmed (who I work for in the summer) has season tickets and I got to use them on June 28th. We took Allison and Matt who are Dodger fans. Our seats were on field level between 1st base and right field/outfield. Here was our view and a cute picture of John and I.




We went to Orange County over the 4th of July. I don't have pictures from our fireworks show as I was sick. You see...we went on John's uncle's yacht out in Long Beach. We went out to the Queen Mary where they have a fireworks show. I, however, was sea sick. Yes...it sucked. Well I watched the fireworks...but from the couch inside the yacht. So I didn't take pictures. Anyhow, we took the dogs over to his uncle's the next day to play with Penelope. She and Penny got in the pool to play. Well Penelope decided to roll around in the dirt and so I had to take pictures. This is another reason my dogs are short hair dogs!!!





I still don't have a job for the school year. I have pretty much just accepted the fact that I will be subbing again next year. I have taken a job subbing for Kristen Neuman again in 5th grade when school starts. It will last for 10 weeks. If on the off chance I do get hired before school then they will just find another sub. In the meantime I am still working at the doctor's office. They have been really great there.

I guess I will wrap this post up. I will leave you with a cute picture of Scooter. He made the pup bed into a sleeping bag. What a cutie!!


My dance girls have DEA nationals coming up. I will be in Vegas with them. Hopefully I get some pictures!! Until next time...
