The big 3-0!

On Wednesday, Merril turned 30! I was just going to have a party with family today (Friday) but Maxine said that Daddy needed to have a party ON his birthday, not a few days after. So on Wednesday at noon, I started calling people to see who could come and eat cake and ice cream. Low and behold, lots of people showed up! This is a shout out to all the people who made it to the party on such short notice! Thanks guys!!

We had fun decorating the house and put up streamers! Maxine and I made a banner on the computer and Maxine wanted to make a birthday crown too so here's the king and his princess and prince.

(25 minutes later) I just got back from towing Merril home. He's been working on his truck, trying to figure out why it takes so long to start. He's tried dozens of internet and mechanics suggestions and the latest was last night. But something didn't go back together right because the truck started running weird and oil leaked back into the fuel. (I think, something like that.) Anyhoo, Merril called and asked if I could come get him. Bummer. We're just hoping he didn't blow the engine. Rebuilding the engine doesn't sound cheap or fun.

Well, I better go. The older two are outside playing in the hose and laughing. A lot. :)
