4th of July Weekend 2009

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!!!

Saturday, Paul cooked a yummy brisket on the grill. Paul's parents came over and his dad cooked his homemade baked beans. We also had corn on the cob, fresh homemade beer bread, watermelon, brownies, and some yummy cookies! We played Smarty Pants on the Wii. Boy was MaMoo beating us all!!! We ended the night watching the fireworks from our own front yard. The neighbors joined us as well. You can see just enough of them to enjoy it without having to get out with all of the crowds. It was a great end to a wonderful 4th with family!

Sunday, the kids, Paul and I spent the day at the pool...we had a great time relaxing and playing. It was so nice to just hang out together...the girls are becoming little fishes!!! After swimming we finished off the day with dinner at our favorite Mexican food restaurant, Las Palomas. It was a great ending to a wonderful fun filled weekend!!!

Fathers Day

Fathers Day is always hard for me...as my Dad passed away in March of 2003. Our family has so much to celebrate though. I have a wonderful husband (of 10 years now), and a father-in-law that I am so thankful for as well. This Father's Day Paul decided to cook a brisket on the grill. The girls had wrapped up some of their own books for daddy. They just had to give them their own gifts. Daddy just loved them. He also got the new Wii Active set from me and a Trivia game "Smarty Pants" for the Wii. Paul actually loved all of his gifts this year. He is getting so hard to shop for. After cooking the brisket all morning and having a wonderful lunch/dinner, we decided to go to the pool for a swim. All in all it was a great Father's Day!!!
