Cutler living the dream


Thanksgiving 2008

What can this be hiding on my grill?



Yep, it's a 19-lb. smoked turkey! I got up at 5 AM and put the bird on the grill. Surprisingly, it only took about 6 1/2 hours to cook completely. I tried a brine this year instead of a marinade and the results were borderline legendary. Ok, maybe the turkey wasn't that good, but it wasn't far off. The brine + hickory smoke wood chips = moist, yummy turkey. I actually threw out my shoulder Thursday afternoon after spending the day patting myself on the back. ;)


Cutler approves!

The girls get haircuts

Adelle decided she was sick of brushing her hair, so she went short. Emily wanted to keep her look with just a trim. They had a salon day yesterday and both came home happy. Here they are posing on the deck in their nice dresses.
Not pictured: the awesome grass that I spent all day working on.....

SNOW!

We had a five minute snow storm blow through this week. Nothing stuck and it didn't last, but Adelle was very excited. We've only been here 1 winter so we don't know exactly what to expect. It's been cold and sunny all week (50's during the day, 30's at night). Yeah, I know - it's not that cold. The temperature doesn't really matter as long as the sun shines!

More Cutler

"Yeah, I pretty much run this house"

Another Broncos victory!!

Cutler

Cutler sure loves sisters. They are both very involved with keeping him happy and healthy. I have a feeling this kid is going to grow up pampered.


We're getting a few smiles here and there, mostly when dad talks about the Broncos.

Adelle, the Happy Clown....



She was in the spirit all day long..



Here's what they're thinking....

"Candy"
"Oh, yeah......lotsa candy"
"Are you serious? I'm a very angry skeleton!"
