My Family Weekend Update

We had our yearly family weekend with everyone in attendance. Yes, 8 adults and 6 kids. Despite this being our 7th annual weekend, we learned something new. Split up the kids into different houses for sleeping. It sounds so simple, but this was the first time we've done it. Wow, what a difference it makes.


Laurie and Alexander "drove" around the front yard together and rode on the ATVs with their parents. But their absolute favorite thing was a dip in the hot tub (not hot). Wow, they had a great time splashing each other, their mommies and the other kids.


The guys spent the weekend smoking some great meat - ribs, chicken and brisquit. While we were waiting for the meat, they stuffed jalapenos with cheese and wrapped them in bacon. They were great, but really HOT! At one point, I had to pour salt on my tongue. It really does help.

Ashley packed her own suitcase. Can you tell? What a little cowgirl.




Brian relaxed his weekend mowing the yard around the house. I'm not sure if it was relaxing or just venting frustration on the small bushes. He had tried to burn some brush on the burn pile, but even with diesel poured on it, the pile was too wet to catch fire. Don't worry, they got it started the next night. What a fire.
