Father's Day 2013

Today we celebrate dads! Not as much attention is placed on Father's Day as is Mother's Day. I guess the old saying "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" plays a part in the massive amount of attention for moms. 

I am blessed with a wonderful dad who has always been there for me. He's a fantastic grandpa and excellent carpool driver whenever we need help. He worked very hard all of his "working" years and shares the fruits of his labor with all of us. 

The kids and I tried to make Tim feel special all weekend. We made a Father's Day banner. 

We bought him the one thing he mentioned he would really like to have...an electric smoker to replace the wood burning one he's had forever. 

Yes that's Valentines wrapping paper because that's what I found :)  Life's too short to sweat the small stuff. Overall he had a good weekend even though I talked him into a furniture building project. 

Maybe Father's Day doesn't get the attention Mother's Day does but we all love our dads, grandpas and uncles. My grandpas were two of the most wonderful men you'd ever meet and I miss them. I hope all the men enjoyed a wonderful day! Happy Father's Day to everyone! 

The Burger Challenge at BGR

This afternoon I watched a sight to behold as two gentlemen attempted to eat the 9 pounder! Each of the men had two hours to eat an entire burger which actually weighs including bun and condiments 15.4 pounds (Two heads of lettuce, eight tomatoes, three red onions, four whole pickles and a river of our mojo) Yes, it comes with a bottle of Maalox.

There is no way I could even think about eating this amount of food! This burger is gigantic in this picture and in person it seems even larger! After an hour and fifteen minutes one contestant threw in the towel.

Time's up and the look on his face had me worried.

I overheard him say even though he didn't eat it in the time allowed he wasn't giving up as I was leaving.
