Special Friends

We met up with the Hainer family at Porter Park to say our Goodbyes since they are moving. They are so dear to our hearts and we have had a ton of fun with them for over 2 years. Game nights, bowling, movies, camping and especially fondue night. Grace is going to miss them so much too. Gracie was one of Grace's very first friends. We wish them the very best and will miss them a lot.

Camping, Camping, We love camping!

What a great 4th of July weekend we had camping. We had lots of time to relax, play games, eat amazing food, kill misquitos, huge beautiful fires, visit with each other and soak up a little too much sun. We had so much fun with the Attkissons, Seely's, Smith's, Jardine's and McMullins.

Sleepy Head

I pulled the clothes out of the dryer and set them on the couch. In less than minutes I came back to find Grace in the warm clothes fast asleep. It was so cute. She just loves laundry time.

Sending my love

I want to tell my family that I love and miss you!
Kisses and Hugs!

Grill Masters Beef Challenge

Dan my Grill Master!!!!!!!!

Dan was judged on taste, plating, and presentation. He was awesome. It was sooooo mouth watering YUMMY!!!!!! Points were really close. He took 4th place with 169....3rd place had 170, 2nd place had 173. Not sure about 1st place. There were 8 total entry's.

In my book he definitely won! He had great competitors. All the steaks were so good! After judging we got to serve it to the public. People Loved it!!! It felt really good that he did so well since he had never made a tri tip until yesterday. We created our own recipe from scratch. He cooked it perfectly and everyone LOVED it and wanted MORE! He had great complements! We had so much fun together. He won 2 Whole Great big Tri Tips to take home, apron, baseball hat, hot pad, meat thermometer, and a bumper sticker and the satisfaction that he did an amazing job! SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

So Juicy and Beautiful
