Impromptu Summer BBQ

Why is the weekend almost ovveerrrr??? [insert bratty whine] Grrr. I had such a great weekend and truly don't want it to end! Saturday's chill day turned into a busy, fun day that ended with an impromptu get together - pretty fab! So Josh got up early to golf, and me and Lindsey got up early and spent 4 hours out! (Austin stayed back with the pups!). Lindz and I went by the outlets, the mall, DSW, Trader Joe's, Starbuck's - you name it! Great day and of course I loved spending time with her - we didn't even turn the radio on- just talk, talk, talked! We got home around 2, and planned to have a BBQ and Andy/Mon were coming for dinner. Then Austin talked to Scott (via xBox of course) and him and Mary were in. Then Josh talked to John and Jen and they were in. Jen was bringing her baby boy Brady and I was like hmmm, wonder what Devon & Zach are doing? While Zach was working, Dev and her baby boy Dane were in! So it quickly went to 11 friends, 2 adorable babies and 3 dogs = love it. We had burgers, pasta salad, baked beans and Jen & John brought these AMAZING caramel brownies. The babies got passed around, ate, chilled, then had a sleepover in our living room in their cute little PJs - loved it.  The dogs went back and forth between besties to barking - sigh. Can't win them all! The guys stayed outside with cornhole, and us girls stayed in. SO FUN to catch up with everyone - low key, early start, early finish = awesome. Here's some pics!

Mon Bon & Reuben! He was loving on her all night!

Dane & Brady would just sit and smile at each other and  "talk" - make cute noises at each other!

The guys pretty much set up shop here!

Me & Mon Bon!

Austin being silly with Devon & Dane - and wearing the new shirt I got him! 

So that was our Saturday in a nutshell - a great day! Today involved TONS of cooking - can't wait to post some new recipes this week!

Q: What was the highlight of your weekend? 


Q: What's your favorite thing to grill? I always go for kebobs, Austin goes for burgers. Truly, I was all for burgers because I was so pumped to use my BBQ set - thanks again, Mom! :)
