T Stands for BBQ and Birthday

Well, here we are on Tuesday (actually Monday here) once again, how the weeks are just flying by......before long it'll be time to put up "C" decorations again........OMG!!!   LOL!  But in the meantime I'll just link up with T-Gang  again.

 

Been a really crazy week around here, and it usually is the week before a BBQ competition, thank goodness this first one is in our own backyard.....so there was no traveling.......and some of us got to come home and sleep in our own beds!

The making of the rubs (seasonings) for the brisket.  I make sure I stay totally out of his way.....of course there is no room left for me anyway......LOL   AND he dropped my coffee grinder and broke it!.

On to the BBQ itself......lots of pictures....but I'll keep it short.

The morning of the BBQ the sky looked like this.......it had poured rain the night before......no I'm NOT kidding.......rain HERE in May?????? But it all burned off and was a beautiful day.

Megan asked her Papa if she could help......so he let her spoon the marinade over the meat......it is usually on a table...but she is only 5 and he set it low for her to help...........she has him so twisted around her finger........LOL

The 8 year olds worked on our chalk board.......love the spelling....so cute!  Yes, we did change it later on.

The three cooking the meats

Serving the crowd.....yes the baby's face is blanked out on purpose, for safety reasons

 

Here we all are (except the San Diego half) in our new red shirts for this year.  This was after all the judging and we were packing it all up to come home, I'm surprised any of us (over 50.....that would be DH and me) had enough energy left to smile...........yes, that IS Bob's smile!!

It was a fun cook, even though we didn't place very high in the scoring, but we are all ready to do it again.  For more pictures you can check us out on King's Cut BBQ on FB.

Well between loading pictures (blogger is so slow) I have managed to get the laundry done, still foldables to fold and sheets to put back on the beds, but EVERYTHING is clean for the moment.   The rest of the day I am going to get some cleaning done......BBQ prepping, by DH, is still stuck to the kitchen floor.....no need in cleaning until it is all over and done with. Then I a going to have some "play time" in my craft area......might even do a little cleaning in here......er........urmph! Naaa, not today, today is my birthday.........OH NO!!!! 

Inky Hugs
