BBQ Man

Here he is, making his BBQ chicken. I love it! It takes so long-it's involved. He marinates them, then he injects sauce into the chicken legs before he grills them slowly, so the sauce carmelizes a little. He sauces them again and again and then they are perfect and delicious. Next time I'll take pictures of the chicken.

Mary Amelia in her blessing dress

Sister Gill made this dress for her. It is so beautiful. The sleeves reminded me of my wedding dress. At the bottom is a little video clip. She is such a sweet baby! She still sleeps through the night, sometimes 8 or 9 hours! Last night was 9 and a half!

my garden and zoo pictures

On Mother's day at church the mothers received garden vegetable plants. I got tomatoes. Since each gift was 4 small plants, and David's mom didn't want to travel with hers, I now have 8 tomato plants! I'm so excited!


David took the boys to the zoo this week. These are some of the pictures he took.




They have a little splash zone in the Childern's Zoo, which you have to pay extra to go in. Apparently Davey had his clothes taken off so he could play and not get them wet. I love it!

Pictures of our house-Happy Spring!!

It occured to me that I haven't posted any pictures of our house. So here you go! I took these this morning. It was so beautiful and almost rainy.

Here is the side of the front...

Here is the front, blocked by trees...shade is the best!

Here is the side, our sunroom which I LOVE. And our driveway... :)

And here is the back yard, with no fence. This is why I have to be outside when my kids play outside- street on 3 sides of the house and heavy auto and foot traffic. If you look closely, you can see Davey standing by the back door.


Last Saturday, we hauled the hoses out again and turned on the sprinklers for the boys, complete with ice-pops. Warm doesn't get much better than that around here!
