BBQ

This past weekend, Pops went to a BBQ class that lasted all day Saturday. Needless to say, I was quite relieved when I heard the garage door open at 6 PM (he was gone for 11 hours) and I yelled a "Thank Gawd!"

So Pops is really into grillin' and is quite good at making all things barbeque. Evan's most favorite meal is "dirty ribs," ribs with a dry rub that Pops grills for a number of hours. Well, now that Ellena is in the table food mix, she is liking dirty ribs as well. Pops is freaking out about how many racks he's going to have to make to feed the family! :)

Here's Evan enjoying his dirty ribs. A few summers ago, we had the Mommy Group over and from that day, he forever called the blue tiger shirt he happened to be wearing, his "dirty ribs shirt." Sadly, he started to outgrow it, so it got pulled from the rotation. I'll keep it for the memories, tho.

Here's Ellena chomping on her own rib. Here's a 'too cute' story. She said her third word while eating her rib! Her first word was Momma, her second was Poppa. She doesn't say them very often, but she's used them occasionally. So as she's eating her rib, she says in the sweetest voice, "bone." She says it over and over cause we were cheering for her. How funny.
