Sunday we went to Jen and Holly's house (check out their link for a bio) where Holly put all Texas BBQ houses to shame with 40 lbs, yes 4-0, of smoked brisket and beef ribs. Slow cooked to perfection - people were swarming around the cutting board to get the remnants. I made slow cooked baked beans (6 hours of cooking) and those were gone in 30 seconds (thanks Grandma for the recipe and Mom for the horseradish tip!). Monday we started the grueling process of used car shopping, and in the afternoon went over to the community pool for a swim. Lauren and Bill have been taking swim lessons, and Lauren now goes under water for 3 seconds and wears swim goggles. She is so excited afterwards and can't wait to tell anyone about it.

Memorial Weekend
Beautiful weather, good friends, great food, and an extra day...what more can you ask for? We had a couple of friends and their kids over Saturday for hamburgers and margaritas. We blew up a cheap plastic pool, and by we I mean Bill, and let the kids go nuts. It was hot enough most of the adults were thinking it didn't look all that bad.
