Jump! Jump!!

Wow - 

we are finally up to February 2013!

At this rate...

mercy - 

I don't even want to think about how 

far behind I am!

Being the big football fans we are,

we planned to watch the Super Bowl.

We didn't have any major plans

for a big party...

we never do...

we are pretty low key.

Down here,

BBQ is beef brisket.

I have been disappointed way too many

times going to a BBQ restaurant and

NO pork being on the menu!!

They have NO idea what real BBQ is down here!

So finding pulled pork,

well...

you gotta do it yourself!

So we do.

We have smoked a couple of butts

and decided that we needed to fire up 

the smoker for super bowl.

Why not?

We started at around 2am

to make sure the pork was done for Super Bowl.

Then later in the morning,

put some chickens on,

a couple of turkey legs

then even later some smoked sausage

(just to heat those up really).

Here we are mid-cooking...

look at that butt!

Man, 

I am ready to make some more now!!

And, of course, 

you have to clean up before any party...

even if it is just family.

Mr. T, er, Prince T

did his part.

(wearing his crown from the 

birthday party the previous weekend)

Then the older boys talked me into 

jumping on the trampoline with them.

I think they just like me to jump

so they can go 

HIGHER!

Then the littles got some 

trampoline time

with mommy too!

While I had a captive audience,

I asked daddy to hop up there 

with us and take a picture!

 

 After all the cooking,

cleaning 

and jumping...

Mr. T just couldn't make it through

the game...
