On May 12th, my uncle John walked across a stage in a silly hat and got "hooded". I'm still unsure if he is now the member of a gang or just a doctor of philosophy. He did get a piece of paper that is apparently worth a lot of money. Not sure about that. I did go fishing for the first time at Mr. Foster's pond and as you can tell by the picture I was not afraid of holding the fish. We did go to our family home in Toxey too. We had that strange church service at the cemetery where great grandma Speed was only worried about the fake flowers near these big stones. She wasn't happy either because Tata didn't get to come up there.
Then for Memorial Day weekend, we went to see Pappaw, Granna, Aunt Jamie, Great Grandma Speed, Tata, Uncle Michael, Aunt Jan, Jared, Jenny, Landon, and Heather (the Beagles too, got to meet a pretty girl named Jada). What a blast! Mom and Dad left me alone with Granna, Pappaw, and Aunt Jamie and anything I wanted, they bought for me. Then the next day we went to the beach. Daddy made me a pool of water. We put 2 fish in there and I swam with them. Mommy keep building sandcastles and I jumped on them repeatedly. We also went to Great Grandma Speed's house for lunch twice and played a lot in Pappaw's office with magnets that I named "Pats".
Mommy painted my room yesterday! I told her it is beautiful. Blue for the sky and green for the grass. Mommy was nice and let me pick out the colors. She tells me that I'm getting a decorated room for my 3rd birthday.
That was pretty much all to remember of the month of May. The trips were good and I'm looking forward to seeing cousin Austen in June with Nanny!
