Labor Day Weekend

Saturday we got together with a bunch of people (EQ) from church for a BBQ in the park. Its always interesting when the men folk are in charge, but all in all it was great fun.

Of course Jonah was the official cowboy at the party.

It was interesting trying to grill up 5 tri-tips and like 40 chicken wings on that tiny grill. But the guys did well...thanks Scott & Jake for being the grill masters! Notice David? Look a little closer.

Yah, thats tri-tip in his hands...gross. He was the official meat man. He brought the meat, pepped it up...and boy did he get his hands dirty...
...and then he cut it. He did an awesome job! Thanks baby! You can grill me up some of that any day!

Here's the gang. Well actually its the gang before a couple more families showed up. We're all snacking on my (actually PW's, but I made 'em) oh-so-delish bacon-wrapped jalapenos and some great homemade salsa one of the gang brought...mmm.

The kids sure enjoyed their garlic bread and chicken wings!

And had TONS of fun playing at the park!

So that was the fun part of our weekend. Sunday was just a relaxing lazy day for us...a much needed lazy day. But Monday was our real labor day...and I mean LABOR DAY. In the morning we dropped the boys off at my parents and David and I headed down to the studio. He's supposed to have this pretty important guy from Ernie Ball come down this week, so we thought we should probably clean the place up a bit. With all the construction going on in the last couple months, its gathered a LOT of dust...and that is even after we clean it once a week or so. Yuck! I didn't take before picks, but here's what it looked like after. This is actually just the make-shift studio. Its only got 1/2 the board, only some of his equipment, and not much space at all. Its actually the apartment part of the building, but it was the only part that was done with construction that he could actually work out of (there's one more room next to it too).

So that was the bulk of our cleaning...at least the important part anyway. We were pretty exhausted when we were done. I guess the boys played hard at Gramma & Grand Pa's, 'cause Jax crashed (and I mean CRASHED!) as soon as we got in the car. Thanks M & D for watching them!

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!
