It's Been Too Long

I admit I have been slacking a bit lately with the blog entries, so I've decided to do a few back to back blogs of things we have been up to over the past few weeks. Here it goes...

Over the 4th of July weekend, we also celebrated Derek's birthday. I made my first attempt at making his favorite cake recipe that his Grandmother made him every year. I actually made homemade frosting, and it turned out pretty well.

Derek and Kirk played in a scramble tournament in the morning (they won second place and a beautiful blue and turquoise plastic trophy that will find a place downstairs in our rec room, as opposed to the middle of the fireplace where Derek would like it displayed).

Derek made some amazing grilled hamburgers that were stuffed with blue cheese, and we topped them with some Chipotle-caramelized onions with grilled corn on the cob. Very tasty!

A delicious 4th of July meal.
