Does Your Tongue Hang Low

Does it waggle too and fro. This is a knock off version of the song I used to sing Henry, "Do Your Ears Hang Low."

Just this week Solon has started sticking out his tongue....very long and far....while he is eating. Tell me this is normal? It is really funny but a little strange. I am convinced he is just being ultra-piggy and trying to get the rest of the food off his face. Jay just thinks he wants "to rock and roll all night."

Off the Clock

After work Friday, Solon and I hung out in his room and played with his toys. He has this new nickname that we have given him. Mr. Mix-Master Milks Muffins Mans. I call him muffin a lot and sing the song "do you know the muffin man" to him sometimes. So he decided that he liked being called Muffin Man but since I already have a double M name....he had to top that. Hence the nickname.

Hello 34

I suprised Jay with an acoustic guitar and guitar lessons! It is rare that he doesn't guess what he is getting, so I was really excited that he was so suprised! His first lesson is this Tuesday, so this summer he will be outside playing us some music...hopefully!

It's Not My Birthday

but Solon is excited regardless. He woke up from his nap and was ready to hang out with us for the festivities.

The Second Phase

Of Jay's birthday celebration involved us setting up on the back deck. We brought out the card table and the little TV to watch some baseball and drink a little champagne. While Jay relaxed outside I was in the kitchen making cupcakes (chocolate with cream cheese icing) and Tyler's Ultimate Chicken Cordon Bleu. Jay's dad made this dish for him once, and I don't believe he had ever had it since. So I was going to try my hand at it. I didn't hammer out the chicken quite thin enough, but it turned out delicous! We ate it along with some butter beans.

Picnic Food

A couple of shots of our picnic. If you have never had Laughing Cow cheese, drop everything right now and go buy some. Along with some Rosmeary flavored Triscuits. Yum to the tenth degree!

Piedmont Picnic

Sunday was Jay's 34th birthday! So to kick off the day, we all went to Piedmont Park for a picnic. We set up shop on a hill under a tree. We drank some OJ, ate cheese & crackers and watched a flag football game. It was so relaxing. After about a hour, we took a long stroll around the entire park to see the construction of the new pool and all the people grilling out.
