Independence Day!

To celebrate the great independence that we have, Tim and I got together with our next door neighbors {our only friends - that are awesome} and had an all-day cookout! We had an awesome time! Others were invited but it turned out to just be the four of us and some pups.

Over the last few weeks, K and Tim have been constructing their own Cornhole sets. They are the official specs and everything.  K and C have painted theirs Arkansas and LSU colors. While Tim and I chose Arkansas and UT.  Needless to say, these will be used a lot!

We all know that the 4th is about food, drink and celebration, so we had plenty of all three! K smoked ribs and salmon. C and I tried to help out with the other items, but I'm pretty sure the ribs stole the show.
Being from Memphis, I felt right at home. The ribs were great! They dogs loved them too {my hands were too yucky to take a pic}. :)  We had smoked salmon, rotel, lil' smokies, and to top it all off...homemade ice cream!
