Get your grill on

Brando has mastered the grill... finally. His Dad grilled a lot while he was growing up, but never with him. Parents teach your kids stuff, dammit!! And learn to do new things so you can teach them those too. Otherwise there's too much fun time wasted when you're all grown up and have to learn it yourself.

ANY way we had a DELICIOUS meal of grilled salmon with avocado salsa, grilled asparagus, and baby greens, snow peas, avocado, and tomato salad with balsamic vinaigrette on Saturday evening after a full day of birthday parties, cake decorating (Shawner's adorable little friend asked if I would decorate his cookie cake after I had put a spider web on his last cake for his just because party he had at his house), and a tournament soccer game for Shawners team who won!

Sunday it was off to church, a lunch with our Sunday School, stopping by to get our awesome new bike rack (so super easy to put on, and you can even open the trunk with it on), and Shawner's final soccer tournament game (which his team also won, and totally kicked b*tt in! They played AWESOME - their best game ever!). Afterwards we went to the ice cream store with the team and the coaches did a trophy ceremony with the kids. It was adorable. We came home and grilled bratwurst with grilled onions and corn on the cob by the pool while the kids swam like seals and we chatted. Yum!

I'm pretty sure we're going to be eating better from now on.
