God Bless America and BBQ


My Patriotic Puppy Sophie!  I just love her profile!!! :)

My brother loved the smoked ribs Granddad made for the 4th!  He tested many before we actually ate!
My Grandma loves sparklers!!!  We called her Lady Liberty all day!
The 3 racks of ribs my Granddad smoked!  They were wonderful!!!!
Our table Patriotic table scape!

My Dad...he was the only person not dressed in patriotic clothing so he grabbed some red wine to take care of that!
Matt and Granddad: Our wonderful chefs for the day!!

The 4th of July was so fun!!  My Mom, Dad, Brother, Sophie, and I spent the day at my Grandparent's house hanging out and eating.  We had smoked ribs and pulled pork, which my Granddad woke up at 5 am to put in the smoker, baked beans, coleslaw, watermelon, brownies, and spice cake cupcakes! It was a very yummy day to say the least!  I love holidays with my family because they are always filled with good food and lots of stories and laughs!  We finished the night with watching fireworks at Arvest Ballpark and when they only lasted 10 minutes we spent the rest of the night driving up and down the highway being "fireworks chasers" and trying to find other fireworks displays across NWA.  It was a great day for our family and I hope it was for everyone else as well!!!!
XOXO
