Brooks-Style BBQ

Jake survived his 9-month checkup and round of shots.  Stats: 95th percentile in height, 70th percentile in weight, and--no surprise here--90th percentile in head circumference. HA! Since the lil guy did such a good job at the doctor's, we thought we'd celebrate.

Danny's been wanting to have a BBQ for a while now, so the weather today proved to be a great day for one. The crazies came over...


...I mean family, the neighbors, and Danny's buddy Bryan.  We've all been wanting us some Danny goods-from-the-grill, so Danny did what he does best: grill.



Meanwhile, the kiddos went for wagon rides and played with gadgets.



Niecie brought over a FABULOUS bottle of wine...must take note. {Thank you Christian, aka Vanna White, for modeling the bottle.}


Our neighbor, Lynsey, brought over some ceviche that was out-of-this-world yum.  I must brag that the fish came from her hubby's Alaskan fishing trip {thanks, Jason!}, and the tomatoes and cucumbers came from our garden.  We're going to start a neighborhood
co-cop. ;)


 Kids' Table!



After some serious tri-tip-and-grilled-veggies-from-the-garden-dining, we roasted s'mores in the fire pit {best thing about summer!} and sang a little birthday off tune to cousin Mandi, who will be turning 23 this week. {Happy Birthday, Mandi!}


I big puffy heart summer!
