Birthday plans!

For anyone that hasn't yet received their invitation - here's the info on Kaiden's birthday party!

TIME & PLACE: July 28th, at 3pm. It's being held here at our house.
(Miss, I'm sorry Chris won't be able to come! With Nate's new schedule, Saturdays are pretty much his only day off now *sigh*)

FOOD: We will be providing burgers, dogs, etc (meaning chicken, MAYBE ribs), and the rest will be pot luck. Feel free to bring a drink, side, salad, whatever to share with everyone. For the drinkers, it's BYOB. For the smokers... No smoking near the kids or inside!

OTHER DETAILS: It will be an outside event, so I'm hoping the weather is nice! Otherwise, I'm not sure how we're going to fit everyone in this tiny house! Everyone, PLEASE get back to my by the 20th on how many will be coming. The sooner the better, so I know how much food and seating we're going to need. With 3 large families, it's gonna be important to know who's coming or not!

Hope you're all having a great summer, and hope to see you soon!

Good weather, good friends!

Today was the first truly beautiful day we've had this year. It was sunny out, with just a little breeze, and nice and warm - about 70F! This definitely makes up for the 15+ inches of snow we've had just this month! It's supposed to be just as nice tomorrow, and near 80F on Monday! What a great weekend to clean up after the big storm we had this week! We were without power for two days, but thankfully the basement didn't even get damp, impressive considering we had over 5" of rain!

Considering the nice weather, and the large amount of brush we need to burn from having 5 large pines removed recently, we thought it would be a great chance to have a BBQ and bonfire. We invited a bunch of friends and family, and had a great day of it! Nate manned the grill, we had dogs and burgers of course, and some really good bbq chicken and ribs with homemade bbq sauce. Yum!

We managed to clear some of the brush, and got about half of the yard raked up. All in all, a very productive day, and so much fun! Spending the day with a bunch of friends, with good food and good weather. Can't get better than that!
