College Roommates

Karl and Michael were roommates at Pittsburg State for 3 years and there are stories that I do not even want to hear about. Karl and his wife Rhonda and their two children came over for dinner and we had some great food. We had sweet and sour pork tenderloin, brats pasta salad, corn on the cob, ciabatta bread, brownies, cookies and homemade ice cream.

Before I could take a serious picture they wanted to act like they were pregnant. If they act like this now I can only imagine what college was like. I can not believe they can actually stick out their stomachs that far.

I did not get a picture of the children because they had more important things to do than stop for a photo shoot.

We had a fun evening and we WILL be getting together more often.

Food Club

Menu:

Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin

Mashed Potatoes

Corn on the cob

Brownies with cream cheese frosting

Homemade ice cream

Before we had this delicious meal Jenni took us to their community pool.

Cass and Dylan really enjoyed their bulldog!

The pork loin took a little longer than Mike expected so we ate at 9pm but it was worth it. YUMMY!!!

Mike and Jenni working so hard on the delicious meal.

I am very sad to say but food club as been postponed until October. I can not wait to see what we will be serving.

Happy Birthday Sister!!!

Hope you have a great day! I am glad I am the one that has you as a sister. (There is not a lot of people who could handle it) LOVE YOU!!!

A Little Family Get Together

Michael's cousin Mary, her husband Steve and their daughter Sophie stopped by for lunch and Mary wanted Michael to make some ribs. They are moving to Rhode Island from Washington so they been doing some cross country driving. Uncle Robert and Aunt Janice drove up from Wichita and ate lunch with us also.

Sophie loved playing in the backyard!

Date Night

Dylan and I had a date night and Cass and Michael had a date night. Dylan and I went to the movies and saw "Despicable Me" and we LOVED it!

Dylan thought it was cool to be the only ones in the theater so he took a picture of me. Then a few minutes later another family walked in.

After eating popcorn for dinner we stopped at Russell Stover Candies for some ice cream.

Later Dylan decided to make his own grill out of cardboard and aluminum foil and a flashlight to heat his ham.

Michael took Cass to the Justin Bieber concert and she screamed the whole night.

Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band

Last night we had so much fun singing and dancing to Chubby Carrier at Knuckleheads. The first time we saw Chubby was in Amana, Iowa over Memorial Day weekend.

Dancing the night away!

Katie playing her imaginary washboard

We have no idea who this man is but Katie wanted her picture taken with him.

Poor Brad! I made him get up and dance with me.

Wow! I was on stage dancing and before I realized what was going on, I was having the washboard played on me. It was a blast!!!

There is a song called "Who stole the hot sauce" and they walk around putting hot sauce in your mouth. This is me but someone put their hand in front of the camera and ruined the shot. My mouth was on fire!

At the end of the show, they gave Michael the hot sauce! He reminded me of a kid in a candy store. We got home after 1am and for someone who goes to bed at 9pm every night that was pretty late. I will be taking a little nap this afternoon. What a great Saturday night!!!

SureWest Picnic

SureWest is our internet, cable, and phone company and they had a picnic for their customers tonight. The picnic was at a park just a few blocks from our house and we were not going to turn down free food and fun!

NO MORE POSTERS

I never thought this day would come! The Jonas Brothers posters were all removed after two years of being plastered on her bedroom walls. Yes, all 147 of them came down. I forgot that Cass had a yellow room.
