Happy Memorial day!

Sunday
Yesterday we went to Brittney’s house for a pre-Memorial Day party. Ryan made the best ribs ever – I wish I had a picture! It was also the first time Oliver was going to meet Murphy. I really hoped they would get along!
That morning I took Oliver on a 5-mile run (it was probably about 80 degrees outside). Even still, he had a ton of energy to burn.
We played bags, aka corn in the hole, in her backyard. This brought me right back to my college days – so fun! It makes me pine for a backyard of my own, but at least we have our own balcony at the apartment (I know, it’s not even close).
Great start to the unofficial start of summer.
Memorial Day
Today I had quite the productive day. After about an hour of weight training at the gym, I did some writing, recipe testing and bread making – homemade sourdough focaccia. In the afternoon, we headed down to my parent’s house (they only live about 45 minutes away) to grill out for the holiday.
My mom has the coolest chip bowl. I just had to take a picture of it. The dip is shrimp cocktail sauce over cream cheese – amazing with crackers. (Except this man looks like his leg was taken off by a shark attack!)
Dinner consisted of prime rib on the grill, corn on the cob, my dad’s potatoes (one of my favorite things he makes-it has bacon, onions and mushrooms in it), fresh tomatoes and focaccia bread.
And Tristan had his first Memorial Day. He is about 11 weeks old and is smiling all the time. I try to catch it on film as much as I can.
How was your weekend? What’s the funnest thing you did?

Oh boy! That chip bowl is hysterical. Although reminds me of that movie where the girl got her arm cut off by a shark (eek)
I stayed in NYC this weekend and had a fun time with my bf bike riding and going to the Farmer Market! (You can check out my blog for some fun photos including my wounds from my clumsy bike fall)

I saw your knee – ouch! I’m going to my first farmers’ market on Saturday in Madison. I am so flipping excited (more excited than most people get about farmers’ markets, I’m sure!)
Olivia is too cute! Looks like you had a great weekend!
I love prime rib… yum! The doggies are so cute together!
That is the cutest bowl EVER. And our doggies are pretty much awesome. :)
Hah I love the chip bowl!! Oliver looks like he had such a blast. We have a porch too but I often wish we had a fenced in yard where we could play with Sadie more. We run her a lot but I wish she got more playtime!
