Birthday Boy!

Donald turned 41 yesterday! Now he's the same age as me and I finally have reprieve from being called a cougar...at least until December when I turn 42...

Jenelle made a special "party" t-shirt!



I made a rich and yummy chocolate cake. The recipe can be found here.


We haven't had a lot of sunshine in Yakima lately, but Saturday was nice, so in the afternoon, Donald set up obstacle courses for the kids. They had so much fun! There were lots of victory jumps and ribbons were awarded! The pictures are from the first race...everyone had a chance to prove they were a good sport! But, competition between siblings can be tough and after many races and some tears, we called off the games. As I sit and type this, they are all outside again with newly designed courses. I love hearing them cheer each other on - even though they want to win themselves!










Donald and I finished off the day by going out for dinner to Zesta Cucina! Delish!
