happy birthday to blake

it was a great weekend. we celebrated blake's birthday. thank you to all that were able to come. we all had a blast with everyone. we went to a tulsa driller's baseball game friday night. thank goodness it wasn't too hot or humid. yeah right. it was really hot and humid. but it later cooled off a bit with a breeze. chuck and trent of course stayed for the entire game. the rest of us left early. around the 7th inning...i'm done and so were the kids. so it worked out. blake is 4 now and is such a big boy. he uses such big boy words too. like, "dang it" and "what the heck?" i have no idea where he's learned such things. he'll be in pre-k next year and that will be great for him. and for a few hours of the day it'll just be jared and i at home....what can that be like?!
