Hello to all. So, I guess I’m gonna have to do this differently this time as the internet doesn’t work.  Not sure when I can post this but I’m typing on June 6, 2017.  We had a busy month in May Kelly was gone a lot working so it was just me and the kids.  May 3^rd, we went to folks for supper because it was Isaac’s birthday the next day and Kelly was gonna be gone.  Kelly left may 4^th for a couple of days. He went up to Peace River to do some fire training. The 5^th the kids and I went to folks for supper and then we had cake and ice cream for Isaac’s birthday. Kelly got home on the 6^th just before supper. We went to Errol’s for supper that night. The 7^th we left for Fort Vermillion. Brother in law Darrell’s parents celebrated their 50^th wedding anniversary so there was a big party Sunday evening. Now normally we wouldn’t have gone to something like this but we bought a puppy from a place about 30 minutes away and we needed to pick it up. We stayed at Kelly’s cousin Danny and Tara’s place.  Monday, we picked up our puppy and headed home. We now have a little Basset Hound named Flash at our house. He is very cute and gets into lots of things. The kids love him but don’t like it when he bites. Can’t say that I blame them because it does hurt. Isaac came home with us because we left before everyone else and he needed to get home to work. Folks and Issac's had went up also because Darrell and Vicky where there. We all come home the 8^th and went to Tony’s for supper with Darrell’s. The 9^th Kelly went and got us 10 chickens. We got them for $2 a piece from a local Huderite Colony. The kids are very excited and we hope to get lots of eggs. So far, we get any where from 3 to 5 a day and hope as their feathers start to come back we can get more.  The 10^th Kelly helped out in the field. The 11^th he was in the field again. He was in a tractor with no AC so the kids couldn’t go ride. The 12^th I baked bread and we went and got flowers. Kelly came with because it was raining. I also started cleaning. The 13^th I finished cleaning and make food for Sunday dinner. The 14^th was Mother’s Day and we had Galen’s, Folks, and Isaac’s for dinner.  The 15^th Kelly left about 12 and was gone all week.  The 16^th I mowed lawn for the first time in the morning I went to the walk-in clinic because my allergy’s where bothering me so bad that my whole body itched and I couldn’t quit sneezing.  The DR told me I could go back on my allergy medicine which was very nice. The 17^th we went to town for groceries. The 18^th I cleaned the kids room and took out all the winter clothes and hung up there summer clothes. The 19^th Kelly got home supper early in the morning so the kids where really surprised to see him. I planted flowers and we tilled the garden and ran to town.  The 20^th I mowed the lawn and we planted garden in the evening before supper and didn’t get done till 10 or so. The 21^st we had Kevin’s and Errol’s in the evening for snacks around the fire. The 22^nd I finished with taking out all the winter clothes sorting them and putting away what I wanted to keep and the rest Heather came and got and is sending to Haiti.  The 23^rd I mowed lawn again. The 24^th I woke up early and went to the Hospital in Beaverlodge to do my 3-hour sugar test. Our closest Lab is in the hospital if any one was wondering. The 25^th we where in town again. Kelly had some errands to ran and wanted to know if we wanted to ride along. I called the DR and she said that I didn’t pass my sugar test so I guess that means I have Gestational Diabetes again. I wasn’t happy and wanted to cry but not much I can do about it but eat healthy which I was trying to do.  The 26^th Heidi’s friend Hannah came and spent the day because her folks went on a field trip. I painted the dresser for the baby’s room. And did some cleaning. Kelly started a 5 day shift of you call it that in Grand Prairie. He is helping train people for 5 days.  The 28^th Isaac’s come over after church for a fire. The 29^th the kids and I spent all day sorting bottles to take to the bottle depot. We take our bottles back once a year. Nigel was sick also. Woke up in the middle of the night with a fever and barfed once.  The 30^th the kids and I took the bottles back and went to GP to have lunch with Kelly. Nigel barfed in the pickup when we got to the bottle depot. I had thought enough to bring and extra change of clothes for him. The 31^st we where in town again for a DR appointment. Got groceries and a few other errands. Nigel was still not feeling well and in fact worse but Kelly couldn’t stay home with home because he had some business to do. So, Nigel and Kelly spent most of the time in the car. I took him in to the ER in the evening and found out he had a double ear infection. They put him on medicine and the next morning he felt much better.  Well that is all for this month. Till next time……
