BBQing - Can't be too safe!

My brother is such a comedian!

He and his wife are taking a volunteer fireman course

so at our family's Easter gathering we heard all

about it. Coincidentally we were grilling, so what a

great "photo op"!

of course the picture went right to Facebook and it was only minutes before our

brother who lives out of town was calling in a bit of a panic. "Was the house on fire?"

Here is the rest of our gang.

Our Easter Menu

Grilled shrimp, pork ribs, chicken kebobs,

ribeye steak

Potato Casserole

Three-bean Salad

and

Lemon Pound Cake

We were thrilled that our aunt drove over

from Austin for a quick visit.

You can barely see it but we are so proud of our

nephew. He just got his Aggie ring. Gig'em, Brandon!!

Our niece is the sweetest. She is planning to run for VP of

Student Council next year. Planning for her campaign

has already started. So exciting!

And the sling... our youngest son, Ryan, a realtor in McAllen, Texas, broke his shoulder about three weeks ago...

ouch!!
