HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOBY!

It is only 3:30 in the morning and I am up. My back is killing me this morning and I am not sure why! When it hurts this bad I can't even sleep, lay down or walk. Oh well...it has hurt worse so I'm done complaining. Papa and I are getting old, I tell ya! We feel it, too. Today is Toby's birthday!!!! Well, this is the day we celebrate. We got him on November 4, 2002 from a rescue organization...he was 4 months old. He was saved from the beaches of Puerto Rico so he only understands spanish. I love that joke....some have actually fallen for it. Anyway, we don't know his exact bday but this is the day we acknowledge it. He's been a great dog....as you can see on the slide show I made. Loves the kids and people....but would die defending us. Very balanced and smart. He loves Papa the most, the grand kids, Sandy, Kevon & Meg & Amanda, riding in the truck, going for walks, running on the beach, canned food, treats, and my bed!!!! HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY, TOBIAS!!!! Yesterday I went to church...it was good. Talked with Brian again for a bit. Funny how it didn't feel like I knew anyone except the worship team, which was Brian, Lindsay, Ben, Dean, Scott, Loren, and Louie. All have served in KidStuf. Went to Ryan's game after spending $70 on gas! Ryan pulled a muscle bad and wasn't playing anymore. Keep him in your prayers...he was a hurting boy! Stayed for a couple innings seeing Amanda and kids and Tara & Brad and kids. It was pretty hot there. The kids were hot!!! T & B left and then I left and brought Lauren and Andrew home for lunch. A & R came after the game and did some of their cleaning up outside. After they left we watched "24" and had breakfast for dinner again! This time pancakes. num! Watched "Big Brother". Boring start. Heather and family got back from camping. First time in trailer....they had a good time. Can't wait to read more about it. And see pictures from the American Idol concert Karla and Dylan went to the other night! Hint hint. Taking Lauren to swim lessons...that's all I have planned. Hope you all have a good day!
