Mother's Day weekend was,very relaxing & pretty uneventful. The kids got me a DVD of one of my favorite movies, Walk the Line...I think Tristan likes it as much as I do cuz she wants to watch "Johnny Cash" every day when we get home! She loves to sing all the songs & will stand with her microphone, on her stage (which happens to be her night stand) and sing the songs word for word. She is definitely my little "artist." She even says that when she gets bigger, after she is a cheerleader, she will be on American Idol!! She is a girl after my own heart. So...Sophie spent the night with her bio-mom Akami on Sat night & since Sophie was going to get to go spend the night somewhere - Spencer & Tristan were bound & determined that they were going to spend the night somewhere too! Aunt Jennifer & Aunt Chrissy were coming over Sat night for a visit & Spencer decided - That was his chance! He packed up his 4 Wal-Mart sacks of stuff - basically consisting of nothing that he really needed or clothes that matched & he was ready to go. Tristan was not going to be left behind... She ran & got her boots on (2 sizes too big since they used to be Sophie's), her baby & her purse! She goes no where without her Baby or purse! She had it filled with the essentials to stay the night - her dress up shoes!! Funny kids! And great sports they are - Jennifer & Chrissy for taking them for the night, even though it wasn't planned! One other event that happened was that our stray cat, Murphy, who we adopted several months ago, gave birth on Friday night. We went looking for her when we got home & Dad was mowing the lawn & I started pulling weeds - Murphy hadn't come out of her hiding place...So, we went on a hunt. We found her behind the air conditioning unit on the side of the house & she had 3 babies. Unfortunately, by Saturday afternoon, 2 of them had died. So, Murphy with her 1 baby are pictured here with Sissy "mothering" them. Tuesday morning, we found Murphy under my van, very badly beaten & mangled & her baby was no where to be found. She had been attacked in the night by some other stray & very mean animal. We had to call Animal Control to come get her so they could put her down. Her injuries were so severe, there was no way she could make it. Rest in Peace Two Murphys! We will miss you!
