Mike's Orchard

Here are some more pictures from our trip to Phoenix. After the wedding, we went orange picking and grapefruit picking in the Entzminger's backyard. No big deal...

lAZy Weekend..

Not! My cousin's wedding was this past weekend and it was in Phoenix, AZ and so pretty! It was at a gorgeous resort in Scottsdale Saturday at dusk and the weather could not have been more perfect. It was so great seeing my AZ cousins, Jamie (the bride!), Ryan and Kelly because we only get to see each other about every 5 years but when we do see each other it's like we were never apart. We rarely hold conversations that don't include quotes from the millions (actually like 3 or so) movies we all love...Drop Dead Gorgeous, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, Austin Powers and whatever youtube bits or inside jokes we have up our sleeves. Anyways, it was so fun and so great to have the whole Fieglein family together, or the majority of the family at least. Some cousins and grandkids couldn't make it but they were missed and we partied in their honor.
Jamie looked amazing! (understatement) and I know everyone says that about a bride or their family member but she really looked stunning! I only have 1 picture of her dress below and it's not even that good but she was just so regal! Grandma was looking sassy herself! I got a nice little tan and maybe a little alcohol poisoning but hey, it's a wedding, tomato/potato.

Rodeo Cook Off

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo always begins with a bang with its BBQ World Championship cook off. I was invited to the Devil's River Mountain Men tent by my boss, as he is on the team. It was a blast! I went Thursday evening and met so many great people! Saturday, I took my mom with me as my "+1" and we were literally there from 5pm to about midnight. 7 hours of drinking beer, eating corndogs and inhaling mesquite smoke is the closest thing we got to Heaven ;) The tent was decorated like a mountain man's dream home, with roadkill stapled to all the boards and walls. It was pretty authentic but it was really fun and well put together! It was my 1st Rodeo cook off and hopefully it won't be my last. Thanks boss!
