Birthday Party

Well, the exciting news is definitely on the Baby Blog today, but I thought someone might actually check this one as well, so I thought I'd take the chance to get caught up (a bit) on all of my blogging! So here goes...

We had my birthday party a couple of weekends ago, and we had a great time! It was typical Liz's birthday fare: barbecue and lemon cake. Traditionally, we always have bbq at my birthday because it's the first one warm enough. We did take a break from bbq during the house building years when there wasn't a stove at the new house, but there was a grill, so everyone ate more bbq then they could stand! But now we're ready again! It was great food, and we got to bring the Bella out to meet Ruth's sheeps. Which was QUITE entertaining! She really didn't even see them at first, but when she did, she was definitely interested! First she put all the hair on her ruff up, then she ran scared and hid behind Josh and I! What a ferocious animal she is! After that she got more interested in them, and spent awhile running in circles around their pen. She actually stuck her head through the fence and one of them head butted her, too! Eventually we had to tie her up because she wouldn't leave the sheep alone. But she still had a great time, we let her bark to her heart's content, and she still got lots of running and lots of attention! She was so tired she even slept on the way home!!

Well, besides the animals, the humans had a good time at the party, too. There was much ado because my belly had just started to show and seemed to surprise everyone. And we just always seem to have a good time hanging out together and telling stories. Thanks for the good time, everyone!

Cutest dog EVER!

Wouldn't be my birthday without a flaming lemon cake!

She sleeps!
