This little gal turned 5 today. She is such a fUnny little girl. She has a smile as wide as the Mississippi River, she has a little bit of a raspy smoker's voice and she is full of energy. It is hard to believe that she turned five today. I remember like it was just a few weeks ago that she was born into this world into a room full of people (noisy people to boot) and she was one of the skinniest, blondest babies I had ever seen!
Her mom threw a birthday party for her tonight, complete with cake and ice cream (thanks Trevor for sharing parts of your cake with me). Austin and Ashlynne had a blast running around the back yard with Christopher, Janessa and Gage (the dog).
Then it was time to go home and as I stepped out the back door and onto stone steps similar to this (except the steps were stone or a stone facade, instead of brick, my foot apparently missed one of those three steps going down and I fell directly into....

The dog pail, filled with water, down my hand went into the pail, my purse on the ground, then the pail tips over from my weightiness and fills my purse full of water.
Karyn, Aubrey and Dad Powell are trying to help me out by taking things out of my purse, mostly about 20 pounds of water, wiping them off, deciding what can be salvaged and what needs to be thrown away.
Oh, did I mention that Mom Powell and Aubrey were in the kitchen trying to assist me "from" falling by attempting to catch me while sitting about 10 feet away at the kitchen table. And the pail full of water just happened to be the dog's water pail. Yep, I went straight into it.
I laughed about it later and assured them I wasn't going to bring a law suit against them.
Now that I am home, all of the contents of my purse are lain out on the futon to dry.
So Janessa, I hope you had a great birthday, it will certainly be one I remember for awhile and I probably will not be showing my corpulent, weighty-self around the Powell's home for some time, due to a bruised ego and a bruised hand and hip!
