we've been friends for a long time now...

In 6 years we've learned a lot about each other. i know how to push his buttons and he knows not to push mine. ha! we've done lots, i mean lots in 6 years and many adventures and memories have been made. i love being able to look back and see how it all began and see how far we've come. when i think back to may of 2004, i didn't even know tyson existed until sunday may 16th, the evening he came into my apartment. funny part is, if you had of told me that night that less then 3 months later i would be married to him,

i would have laughed and said 'wanna bet'.

awe the joys of pure love. i'm sure glad he came to my apartment.

RIB FEST!

just a couple of weekends ago, Columbus had there annual Jazz and Rib Fest. We were super stoked to go try out some yummy BBQ. We met up with some of our fabulous friends Kelli and Neil.

We all got BBQ Ribs from different BBQ booths. I had never been to a Rib Fest before and I thought it was so cool how every BBQ booth had all there trophy's set up showing off all there winnings. all of our BBQ was tasty.





tyson eating some yummy ribs!

One thing that was not cool, was the weather! it was 105 with 100% humidity. it was killer. luckily we found a nice table to sit at by the water front and there just so happened to be fountains that brody played in while we ate.



happy to be at Rib Fest



and hello! what's an outing without a group shot. a cop sitting on a horse took this picture - we actually had no idea he even took it. so it turned out better than expected.



this is how Kelli and I felt when we decided it was time to head to the cars and get in the air conditioning!



did i mention it was HOT? no really, i don't think you understand. it was like inferno hot. good thing we froze water bottles and kept pouring the cold melting water on brody. he loved it. and hello! what kinda of parents would be if we didn't stop by the park and swing on the swings before we got to the car. honestly! we rock. and brody played for like 15 minutes, till we were all ready to get in the car.

so that was Rib Fest 2010. hooray for a fun evening of family, friends and yummy food!!!

stay tuned for most post...
