Jason was gone for several days early in the month so the Marquiss' invited me to dinner with their friends (to show off the kids no doubt:)). We went to Olive Garden and I thought that Daniel would like to eat the pasta we ordered. Instead he sat on Pappy's lap and ate up all his soup!

On my actual birthday, we went to the Stallings' for scrumptous birthday dinner. Daniel and Jason had a great time playing on the big rock in the back yard. I love watching them play together!


The next day we were playing in the back yard when Roxy started shrieking. I was about to scold her with my usual "there is nothing to bark at" when I looked up and saw horses in the corn field a few yards away! They escaped from their yard at the end of the street and had a fun little walk about!

Later that day we went to the park to fly a kite for the first time.


It lasted a whole five minutes unitl he let go of the holder and Charlie Browned it.
