We decided to have a cookout with our friends in May. It had been a while since we had a cookout with Winter, all of the snow, finding out we had a baby on the way etc. We thought Mother's day weekend would be appropriate since most of our friends have kids, that way everyone could just come over and hang out in the back yard, and it would give me and mike just the right amount of time to transform our backyard into something suitable. For some reason only a winter had past since we had been in our backyard but at first glance it looked like years. Me and Mike had a lot of work to do on the yard. We cleaned and redid all of our flower beds, planted a garden, put together swingset, painted our tables, and bought new chairs and a new umbrella. We also bought a ton of plants from lowes, some that will come back, some that will just look pretty this year. Everything turned out great for the cookout, and now we have our yard and deck looking great for all summer and fall long. We were thankful so many of our friends could make it. Mike of course put meat some meat on the smoker, and I took care of the sides. We spent a lot of time on the deck - boy was it hot! - and the kids loved the backyard. What a great way to spend Mother's day weekend!
Me and Miss Stephanie. Brian Davis ( mike's best friend) and his wife Lindsey had their 4th little one about 5 weeks before the cookout. We had met her before, but it was so great to see and hold her again. This will be me with little Alex this fall!

My mom gave me our Lambs bucket - I love it - great for entertaining.
