Memorial BBQ

We had our second annual Memorial Weekend BBQ on Sunday at our place. Our normal crew of great friends came over and we also had some of our cousins and two of Jon's great friends from back home came too. It was also great to see Matt and Melissa who live in Dallas now--we miss you guys! Brett brought over his washer pits and there was a non-stop game of washers going on the whole evening. Thanks to the friends who brought over appetizers and dips! Jon made some super tasty burgers and we finished it off with cake and Kristen's famous homemade butterfinger ice cream (oh yeah, and a ton of beer was consumed as well!) I had to work of course on Saturday and Sunday and Jon was awesome prepping the house, backyard and all of the food (thank you honey!) I made an oops and left some of his prepwork in the fridge (lettuce, tomatoes and onions) so everyone enjoyed some meat and cheese burgers...oops! The funny thing is that no one said anything about "hey, where's the lettuce and tomatoes?", so I feel pretty confident that the burgers were fine without them. Alana brought her and David's new puppy, Zoey over and she was a hit with the kids! And of course Will and Bryson keep us all smiling and are such cutie pies. We love our friends so much and thanks everyone for coming over...we really had a great time!

Jon always has clever artwork for the holidays on our little write plate.
