Dinner with the Dyk's

In February we tried to get together with the Dyk's for dinner. There response to us was, "check back in March!" Check back in March???? Now, that's a popular family!! When March rolled around we had them check their busy schedule and when they said they were open we put in our reservation. In fact we were so happy to get them we went out and bought one of nicest things we could think of..a Coors Light Mini Keg!! It's only 1.5 gallons of beer but if this doesn't scream, "SPECIAL MOMENT!" I don't know what else does!

We were so excited that they accepted our invitation that we wanted to go all out so we went and got a Spiraled Ham, made green bean casserole, and Texas Style potato's. It was pretty much a Holiday Dinner in March and if you think it was easy to find a Spiraled Ham when it's not a holiday, your CRAZY. I first scanned the whole store trying to find one then I decided to ask the person at the meat counter. Her first answer was no but she told me she would check. She then went in the back room and asked the HEAD butcher who came out in his white uniform covered in blood and said, "You looking for a ham!" "I was to scared to say NO so I replied, Yes" "I have a couple and I tell you right now that after you eat it, it will bring a tear to your eye!" I almost felt like I was doing a drug deal right there in the middle of our Safeway and I wasn't talking to the low end dealers any more I was talking to the head boss who just took care of someone who betrayed him! I was telling myself if he says I will have a tear in my eye by GOD I'm going to be wheeping over this stupid ham


Here are the boys enjoying their dinner.

We ran out of room so Addy and Andrew had to have a little picnic in the living room!

I'm not kidding when I tell you that Addy knows how to run an iphone better then I do. I have a Blackberry so when I get an iphone I pretty much just stare at it and have no clue what to do where Addy is already browsing pictures and playing games. Here I'm guessing Andrew told Addy, "I just texted you!" Too Funny!

Here is the whole group(Easton and Owen had already gone to bed). We all had a really good time.

Kristi and I are already talking about when the next time we want to have dinner with the Dyk's because we want to get our reservation in before they are booked thru October. I'm just kidding Dyk's! Thanks for a great time!
