The ol’ gallery has been a little silent in the past few months, but I have been busy:

2006.08.18 – My 28th Birthday

2006.08.25 – Kentucky State Fair

2006.09.04 – Mayor Jerry’s Hike & Bike

2006.10.14 – Huber’s and Holly’s Birthday

This just about sums it up…

Happy 25th Birthday, Mayumi!

It’s Jackson Cooper‘s 24th birthday today! WOOOO!!! A special day for a special boy.

Birthday Gallery is up! Pics of Kelly’s cake for me (tasty!) and pics of Kelly, mum, brother Nick and I at the Bats game!

Well, today is my 25th birthday. I am now firmly rooted in my mid-twenties, and no rounding error will say otherwise. I’d like to thank my mom, Holly and Geoff for wishing me a Happy Birthday, as well as Jeanette (step-mum), my father Neil, my brother Nick and sister Kristin for wishing me well on my birthday (we went to the tasty Thai Smile 4 for dinner). (Kristin — the Family Guy DVD set was sold out at Target, we have come to find). Even my grandmother called me at work today to wish me a Happy Birthday!

For anyone who didn’t know it was my birthday, that’s cool, because I know I’ve not known/have forgotten plenty of birthdays in the past. I now keep a big list of birthdays (something that everyone should do, but usually rely on their parents for when they are younger). Eve’s birthday was back on the 13th of August, my Uncle Jack’s birthday was yesterday, and Nick Smith’s is the 21st of August, and Jackson Cooper‘s birthday is the 23rd of August.

Oh, I must give a boatload of thanks to my dear, beloved Kelly. She baked me a cake (strawberry cake with cream-cheese icing and blueberries), played “Happy Birthday” on the piano at midnight, and mowed the grass for me yesterday. She left me a message in lip-stick on the mirror this morning, and she also left me a voice-mail exactly at midnight today that I did not notice until just moments ago (I saved it for future playing). She’s so nice and pretty, I do declare.

I get to take a half-day from work today, and I’m going to eat tasty sushi at Bendoya for lunch, and then Mom, Nick, Kelly and I are going out to the Louisville Bats game tonight, and that should be lots of fun…

So, yesterday kelly and I built a picnic table! It turned out pretty well, for neither of us having too terribly much experience with lumber and such. Kelly enjoys hammering a little too much, I think. If you’d like to build your own, I’d suggest these plans we used.

We also had a small celebration for Kelly’s 25th birthday at the Outlook Inn — no actual pictures of kelly in this gallery, but hey — I was to bizzay celebrating.

I’d like to point your attention to the Katy Dixon Memorial Birthday Gallery to view pictures of the get-together.

And yes, Hulk-Hands will always be funny.
