One great weekend!




Okay so this weekend has been off and on crappy and great. The weather has given us troubles but has allowed us to have some great family fun. Friday night Jessica and I got tickets from Mel and Joe, Thanks, and we went to the Reds game. They beat Cleveland and the best part was Mel and Joe watched Roman and Shamus. YES you read that right Mel and Joe watch both of our boys as well as their daughter Greta. NO they werent drunk, we didnt bribe them. I guess they wanted a test of their parenting skills. They survived but looked very tired. I give them gold stars. The boys were alive and well and nothing was broken, or at least they didnt tell us anything was broken.
We met Dustin and Shelly at the game and had a beer with them before making the trek to our seats. The seats were kinda nosebleed but we loved them. No kids and fun. We made the most of it. Stadium beer, hot dogs, pretzels, and even ball park peanuts. Yeah this is gonna be my last game before Iraq so we lived it up. The game was great, Freel you rock, the next Pete. The Reds won. I even got a free grilling apron.

Then Saturday came. It looked like rain all day but because god loves a grillin man, the rain held off. Dustin and Shelly came over for some handpacked large mouth burgers and real hand cut steak fries. I personally made the burgers, 3 shots of rum, A1, and Worstcher sauce. That makes that perfect taste. We had fresh lettuce, tomatoes, even sandwhich cut pickles. Yes it was great. The food was great but the play time after the food was just as much fun. Roman loves to run and wrestle. I had a fun time rolling down the hill with him and chasing him all over. Even Shamus got out in the yard.
