Clayton with the game ball

I forgot to take a picture of the ball the boys got at the Toros game last night so, I took some today:

Marlee outside the feed store- just stopping to smell the flowers.
We got 5 baby chicks today, since we don't have enough animals already:



We had our neighbors over for dinner & I made bruschetta with our garden tomatoes:



We went to our first Toros baseball game- they gave away kid jerseys to the first 1000 kids. Clayton & Porter got some autographs on their jerseys:

I love how big the jersey was on Porter:

Marlee has a whistle in this pic, they were giving them out & you could hear lots of whistling through out the game-the players must hate that:

Jonathan was giving the boys tips on how to get a ball & it worked because they got one:

I was kind of forced into buying this rip off but delicious kettle corn. There was a lady sitting near us that had some kettle corn & Marlee kept staring at her so, the lady gave her some. But then Marlee kept trying to go back for more & I knew she would be doing that all night so, I had to buy a bag of our own. Geeez...Marlee knows how to get just about anything she wants. She ate that popcorn all night:

My cute boys sharing a seat:

They also got the Toros mascot to sign their jerseys:

The boys shared their seat with a friend they found:

It seems like wherever we go Clayton makes a friend.

Jonny & Clayton:

After the game they had a firework show.

Clayton:

Marlee is scared of loud noises, so she clung on to Laun-to bad she wasn't that still for the whole game:

Porter:

On the way home Laun got the boys slushies- here is Clayton trying both flavors & making strange faces for the camera as usual:

the park

We had a picnic, Laun & Jonny played catch, the kids had fun on the playground, & we went on a walk.

Sage even met a friend:

Jonny & Marlee:

Sage had fun running around- maybe she got enough energy out to stop climbing up our shed or to stay off our fence or to quit visiting our neighbors yard.

Marlee loves her Uncle Jonathan:

I thought this was so cute. Marlee has her arm around Jonnys arm & was leaning her head on him.

Laun turned 32- 1 year older & wiser, too!

Jeff & Lucy came into town this weekend & we celebrated Laun's birthday.

I made him cheesecake for dessert & topped it off with 32 candles, which he blew out all at once.


We had ribs, mashed potatoes, corn, & rootbeer for dinner:

Laun got a pellet gun for his b-day present.


Friday night Jeff treated us to Claim Jumper & it was delicious.

Laun's b-day is tommorow so, I asked the waiter to bring him a treat, it was one of his favorites-red velvet.


The appetizers were very good-nachos & calamari (best calamari I have ever had).

Laun got a hamburger- he highly reccomends getting a hamburger from Claim Jumper.

The b-day guy & his kiddos waiting to get a bite of that cupcake.

I love this man so much- Happy Birthday Laun!!!!!!!!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream

Tonight we had ice cream for dinner- seriously, we did. What is it that is so magical about an ice cream cone. Who doesn't love an ice cream cone?
