Jeff's Birthday!

On July 20th, Jeff celebrated his 34th birthday! We had several celebrations to celebrate. The weekend prior, we went over to the Schweer's and had a wonderful dinner. They made fajitas and I made an Oreo cake for dessert. We played spades while the kids all played, and the guys apparently are on a streak and won for the third straight time! Game is on though, and the ladies are sure to come back for redemption.

Since his birthday fell on a Wednesday, we didn't get to do much since we had swim lessons and Carson had football camp. But, Jeff's dad and Michelle came over to wish him a happy birthday. The weekend after, we had the end of year baseball party on Saturday. So, Sunday, we took Jeff to Texas Roadhouse to eat, and both his dad and mom joined us. Then, Carson and I took him to see the new Capt. America movie. Grandpa took Cal with him and we went over afterwards for some yummy ice cream cake.

Finally, we got Jeff a smoker for his birthday. This weekend was his first attempt at smoking meat- he did a brisket, ribs, and burnt ends. It was incredible. Absolutely delicious! But, poor Jeff stayed up all night tending to it, so he was almost too tired to enjoy it. Almost...haha. We had the Schweers over to help us eat some of it. Cal and Lexi just love playing together. Here are some pics- one was Lexi in time out...and Cal had to go sit right next to her. Probably not the best idea, but it was too sweet not to capture=)
