The Weekend

Trent and I started off this weekend by going to a Creighton baseball game. We were given two tickets from my work and were able to sit in the UP Suite to watch the game. The weather was perfect, and it was so nice to be able to just sit and hang out with Trent for a few hours. It wasn't the most exciting game, but the home team won and life is good! :)

After the game, we picked up a few things so we had all the supplies to smoke a pork butt (and by "we" I mean Trent). Trent started it at about 10:00 on Friday night and slept on the couch overnight so he could get up to check it every few hours. Fifteen hours later, we had some awesome pulled pork to have for a late lunch. It is sooo good and really made it feel like summer! I am so happy that we have leftovers to last us quite a while!

Trent got to use his egg that was all set up in its new stand that his dad and brother in law helped him build for the first time during this as well!

This was also Trent's first chance to use his Meat Claws that he got for Christmas to shred the meat. He shredded the meat while I was out getting some chips, so I missed all the action, but he said they were awesome and made it so much easier, so I'll believe him! (And then I made him pose for some pictures!)

The day was even more perfect because the weather was so incredibly nice. I love being able to have the windows and doors open and hang out outside. It makes me so excited for it to be that nice every day!

Jocelyn and Mattie took advantage of the nice weather by taking a nap outside, too!

Sadly, the weather didn't stay that nice for long. By the time church got over on Sunday, we could hear the rain on the roof and the thunder in the sky. It was down poring when it was time to go to the car, and I had been the one to say that we didn't need to bring the umbrellas in to church... whoops! The stormy weather did make it a perfect afternoon for an indoor nap, though, so I'll take that! :) 

It was a nice and relaxing weekend and I'm glad we took advantage of the nice weather while it lasted since we're back to the cold and icy weather now!
