My Birthday Weekend

So check it! reee ah reeeee ah My name is Joe, I don't do blow but if you tap I'll say I can't rap!

I went out Thursday night with my lovely wife and enjoyed a nice steak dinner and free dessert. I ate soooo much! Rachael had a surprise for me so she knew not to eat too much. We went to the F1 Factory Raceway!!! I was super excited! I raced twice and Rach once. I'm glad she toughed through the fear and did it. She was last place as she didn't punch it too hard. Maybe she thought she was carting around 3 little ones in the back haha I don't know! We had Krispie Kreme Cheesecake from that Rach created as well has many other sweet things like Monkey bread the morning of. I spent the day at the zoo helping Billy with his biology assignment. I really didn't help that much, I was just glad to relax and see some animals. The orangutan exhibit was especially interesting as there was what looked like a family of 3. The little one was about as tall as Sean but the arms were freakishly longer. It's crazy to think that a baby orangutan could kick my butt!

Julian spent the night Thursday night and hung out with us Friday. He beat me three times at Wii bowling but I beat him once so that made up for it. I think he let me win on the last one though. Rachael bought me the video game, Call of Duty Modern Warfare II so Julz and I played it Friday afternoon as the little ones napped. The game caused me more frustration than I would've liked because my graphics card was clocked to0 high.

Friday morning we went and on a farm tour! Yeah, cows, goats, chickens, horses all smothered in an aura of stink! We had a lot of fun! The kids loved walking around seeing everything! It was great that Julian was our helping hand because all three of our little ones wanted to go their separate ways. I learned that the brown cows produce a much creamier milk. They got to feed a goat and a horse by putting the food in their hands. Lacie was afraid and didn't like it haha! Oz loved feeding them; he wanted to keep doing it so he'd pick up some hey and rock on the ground. The kids did some cute things later in the weekend. I saw Lacie get side control as she took Oz down to the ground. She didn't let him get up but he didn't seem to mind. Then the next day I saw Oz take her down and tickle her. They are having some good matches now. We put Oz in the crib with Lacie to give hugs and kisses good night. And he did exactly that, he knelt down and gave her a big smacker and a hug. It was the cutest thing! Sean's giving up naps for sure. He says he has to go potty every 5 minutes or just cries for mommy in his room. It was very frustrating yesterday. Sean is getting a lot better at talking and at the park I watched him dribble the soccer ball pretty good. Oz and Sean quickly became friends with this other little boy at the park and they loved kicking the ball to each other, and Lacie quickly became friends with a little girl that was at the park. The boy and girl were much older, she was 8 and he was probably 10. It was great to see everyone playing so well with each other!
