Hanging around the house... FINALLY!

There is no place like home... Drew and I have not been home during the weekend since July 12... 6 weeks! So this weekend we were determined to stay around. We did have a little begging from Whitney who was in Bristol for the NASCAR race (Drew is a redneck and loves NASCAR) however we prevailed and stayed home. We decided on Saturday morning to head to Lowes and buy bags upon bags of mulch and a pressure washer so we could clean up our backyard and "dog house". Yes the dogs have taken over the not so cheap porch addition and have claimed it as their home. So after hours of cleaning, scrubbing off mud and dog hair we HAD a clean porch once again! We decided to show it off b/c we knew it wouldn't last (already nasty as of today) and had some friends over for a cookout. On Sunday we took the boat out. We have only taken it out 3 times this whole summer.. ridiculous! The first 2 times it poured rain and yesterday it was a not so beautiful day of black clouds. Oh well, we did it and I can say we used it!

Ben grillin' burgers
Jackson decided the grill needed to be cleaned. Tyrone was a little smarter ... shocking I know! They are also sporting their new collars their dad bought them. Very stylish palmetto tree collars :)
