Tacos!!

Last night was taco night, and honestly–I only had [...]
Hubby’s Birthday!!
Thursday, July 26th, 2007Yesterday was my sweet husbands birthday. He worked all day (of course) so we didn’t actually get to celebrate until after 9 p.m. We are going up to Jellystone Park in Wisconsin for the next 5 days–so we will do more celebrating then. At work they made him a “Birthday Burger” and [...]
