Father’s Day

My dad would probably consider himself a bit of a foodie.  He loves a good meal and has taught us all to enjoy fine dinning.  A few years ago we started a bit of a tradition where we kids will make a nice gourmet meal for dad at home.  So he has the meal of a fine dinning restaurant (ok maybe not that good – but good) in the luxury of his own home.  Meaning he is in the pool until 5 min before we eat. 

My sister inherited my dad’s cooking gene and was our lead chef until she decided to move to Chicago.  Last year Natalie took the reins but we had Brian to help with the grill.  Now that Brian is a dad it was pretty much up to Natalie and I to do most of the work – my moms helps too. 

We did pretty well I think.  We had steak, twice baked potatoes, a grilled squash zucchini medley and best of all chocolate cake! It was a pretty yummy meal. 

 Here is a photo of my dad making the most of this father’s day – sleeping in the recliner with golf on – what better way to spend the day?  

Happy father’s day daddy!

New Light

I decided yesterday that it seems I pretty much write this blog just for Josh and Chris. They seem to enjoy it so I guess I can’t quit it.

TV on DVD…

Is my new favorite thing! I got Nexfilx so that I could watch Season 1 of Mad Men (best show on TV!!!! Please watch it – you will love it – I promise.) this summer before the next season came out. Now I am wondering how I got by without Netflix before! I think I had put way too much emphasis on the DVR – please do not take this the wrong way I still love my DVR very much. I would record stuff that I planned to watch one day if I was sitting around with nothing to do. Now I have all of these shows that are just sitting there and maybe will never be watched because I have discovered Netflix. I am now watching the Tudors Season 1 and am a little obsessed. I have been really into the Henry VIII saga for a while now. I am not sure why – but it is very interesting to me. So here is what is on my list. What should I add?

Entourage
Big Love
Dexter
Freaks and Geeks

Netflix has amazing turn around by the way! I kind of love them right now.

New Addition

No not the band – although they are highly entertaining – I have added a new feature to the BooBlog. Josh has requested that I get a tumblr account – since him and Chris have them. Apparently I will do whatever Josh tells me – except shop at Wal-Mart – so there you have it. Here is the link http://thebooblog.tumblr.com/ it is now on the home page so you can check it out when you check out the BooBlog. What better way to start it than a photo of the B.

You will find random photos that I will take with my phone and if I am trying to be just like Josh and Chris these photos will contain a lot of food and dogs – oh and bowling.

Enjoy!

It is DONE!

OMG! I just made my last car payment today people! This is probably the most freeing feeling I think I have ever had in my life! (only one other time comes close) I don’t have the pinks (as they refer to them in Grease) yet – but they are coming! What an amazing day! I feel like such an adult and am so glad that I did not decided to get another car this time last year! YAY!!!! Big weight off the shoulders and deep breath inhaled!

Don’t worry Tom & Joe – this money will still be part of the budget – I will always have a car payment as you say.
