Sarah Kate was so much like John Michael when they were babies. These two were fussy little babies (at times) who refused to sleep at night! It felt nice to have Laurie around to have someone to bounce around ideas with about sleep! Here are the two cuties from this past winter. Look how little hair they both have!
Sarah Kate had a turtle theme first birthday and it was so cute!
Here are all of the kiddos. It was hard to get a picture with all of them!
Wells and John Michaels thought it was time to stop taking pictures.
Sarah Kate and her turtle cake!
And here's John Michael showing Sarah Kate how you eat birthday cake!
John Michael and Me!

Last week I forgot to say Happy Birthday to Jordan's sister, Janna! She is a wonderful kid's PE teacher so I'm excited for her to teach John Michael how to play soccer and other sports that I really don't care about enough to teach him myself. I know she's excited for him to get older so she can teach him all about sports. I don't have a recent picture of her so I just won't post one! Happy Birthday, Aunt Janna! We'll see you on the 4th!

Now, to the BBQ! You know how I LOVE an easy, fast recipe in the crockpot and if it involves BBQ then I love it even more! I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and it is a winner in my book. I'm thinking about making it for the 4th for everyone because it was so good and easy!
BBQ Pork for Sandwiches (I used a little over a pound of pork ribs instead of 3)
- Pour can of beef broth into slow cooker, and add boneless pork ribs. Cook on High heat for 4 hours, or until meat shreds easily. Remove meat, and shred with two forks. It will seem that it's not working right away, but it will.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Transfer the shredded pork to a Dutch oven or iron skillet, and stir in barbeque sauce. (I just put it on foil-lined pan in the oven)
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until heated through.
And yes, that's coleslaw on top of it!
John Michael was so excited waiting on his BBQ!
The anticipation....
The Yum!
Yes, he is a southern boy at heart even though we aren't in the Deep South! He even got a few sips of sweet tea. He loved it! He kept crying for more BBQ so we gave it to him. I hope that doesn't make us bad parents! I can just see us a Dreamland now! Yum!
