Ryan & Phil's 34th BBQ

We had a summer BBQ for Ryan & Phil's birthday at our house today since their birthday's are just a few days apart.  I wanted to do a beach/bonfire day but it wasn't worth all the hassle to go out there early for a pit and stay all day.  It's just too hard nowadays with little ones.  For as close as we do live by the beach we really don't get down there like we should.  Anyhoo, it was a nice and relaxing afternoon to spend with family and friends.

Some of the guys starting up the Q for some simple burgers and hot dogs.

Some of the crew just hanging out in the backyard ready for some grub!
The birthday boys!  Of course the girls are all right in there to help blow out the candles too!
Don't know how I ended up drinking wine in a sippy cup?  Silly goose I am!
More of the crew after some grub since it's now dark.  Everyone just hanging out and catching up since it's been awhile since we've seen everyone.  Probably since April when Alan and Som got married.
Rachael and Makayla playing with the Playdoh along with all the other kiddos.  Boy were there lots of kids tonight.  Funny how life has so changed and how the kids really have taken over.

Now the girls are cooking in their kitchen.  All the kids had so much fun!  Bubbles and chalk outside and lots of toys in the garage playroom to play with too.  It was like a tornado but boy did they all have fun and so worth it to see them all play together.

I guess the night is still young for some poker time!  Some of the guys stuck around to play a few rounds of cards.  It was a good evening with some great company!  Good times!  Happy Birthday to two of my favorite guys!  Hope you both had tons of fun!
