3 Step Ribs

Beer and BBQ Ribs- longest recipe ever but they fall off the bone and are DELICIOUS!
Night before, I marinated the ribs with Montreal Steak seasoning and a little Lawry's Seasoning salt.
Grill ribs for 15-20 min on Med-Low heat.
Put them in large roasting pan, bone side down. Rub 1/2 cup brown sugar, and a little Salt and Pepper,
Drizzle 1/4cup honey on top,
Mix 1/4 cup cider vinegar and 1 bottle (12oz) dark beer and put around ribs and then spoon a few spoonfuls on top ribs,
Cover with foil and bake at 325 for 1 hour. Then, reduce heat to 250 and bake for 2 more hours until tender.
Then, pour 1/2 bottle BBQ sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's) all over ribs and grill again 10-15 minutes or until browned.
Serve.

If I were to make this again I would do more than 1 rack of ribs. For all the steps it's worth having the leftovers.

16 Month Fun!

Lawson Update
-Big Guy is around 26lbs and loves to be carried around. Hello, back problems.
-He's starting to talk more- "Ank Eww" (Thank You), "Mo" (More), "Bubble", "Sissssth" (little lisp, but that's "Sissy"), "Ish" (Fish), "Daww" (Dog), Mommy, Daddy, "Nack" (Snack), Ball, "Mil, Mil" (Milk), "Bible", "Vroommm" (Car). He's a total boy.
-Hates diaper changes. It's a wrestling match.
-Typically 1 nap/day and it's 2-3+ hours
-Still has reactions to cow's milk, so he only drinks almond milk.
-Clearly, a great eater, and eats everything you put in front of him.
-Loves chase, push toys, balls, hide n' seek, reading, cars, animals (at a distance), and playing with his big sister.
-Great sleeper at night, making up for those first 9months. 6:30-7pm to 7-8am


Overall, Lawson is a pretty easy going kid. He's a mama's boy and I love it, I know in a few years he'll want nothing to do with mom so I'll take it while I have it. I love you, little Bug.

Easter 2013

Since I'm so behind, below are some pictures from this Easter! Lawson and Harleigh had a blast hunting for Easter eggs with their Bradbury-side cousins Brooks, Landon, and Isla. This was my first time hosting Easter and will likely be the last I host for awhile. After eating, everyone except two got the Norovirus. It was awful, Harleigh got so sick she had to get IV fluids which then led to a trip to Levine Children's due to a medical error on the IV fluids. With all that, the kids still had a good time and the food turned out well.

Papa knows how to make Lawson feel really comfortable. Brooks was ticked he got stuck next to the loudest cousin.

Someone is still happy. This was the best shot I got.

Week 1 Recap

Last week was the first week with the kiddos, surprisingly it was a bit easier than I expected. They both had good behavior since having mom home is typically not the norm. We were able to go to the library, the zoo, and the pool a few times as well as a few play dates with other friends. I'm looking forward to many more weeks with the kiddos!
