I had a birthday. My age has two 3's in it. I'm not too happy about that, but what can I do? I prefer when my age had two 2's in it, but it's better than two 4's, I guess. The best part about it was I finally got that KitchenAid I've been wanting. I can't wait to use it! We had just gotten back from the swimming pool (because we finally had a warm enough day to go), and Ben had dinner ready, and a big box wrapped in princess wrapping paper. It was a decoy. He filled it with junk, and some Hawaiian chocolates. I loved the chocolates, and then he made me close my eyes, and they brought up the real present. I threw my arms up in triumph, and spent the rest of the evening reading the owner's manual.

And today, we took our first little mini-trip. We tagged along to Bozeman while Ben had a business meeting. He dropped us off at the children's museum, which kept us busy for and hour and a half, and we could have stayed longer if we weren't all so hungry. So we hiked it on down to Burger Bob's, one of the places Melissa and I ate on our Mom's Time Out weekend last year. Joey took one bite of his burger, and proclaimed, "This burger is so good, I'm never letting go of it!" It didn't take long for him to wolf it down. Daddy joined us, and then we strolled downtown, hit the candy shop, and came back home. And now I'm going to figure out what my innagural recipe in the KitchenAid will be...
