Our Special Family dinner…

Once a month our Family has a special backyard dinner on the grill.  We light the torches on the deck, and enjoy the beautiful view of San Diego at night time.  With such a large Family and all of us having different schedules, we rarely have time to sit and eat as a Family.  This weekend was very hectic, so our Family’s grill dinner was the perfect thing for us to enjoy each others company and have some good food.

The day was a typical San Diego sunny day, so this is what the kids did:

Everyone out of the pool and hungry so we begin to talk about our ingridients.  The kids shouted for steak and corn on the cob, so off to shop we went.

I usually shop at different stores for the dinner supplies, but today’s shop was all going to be done in one place, Ralphs.  I know that some of you make shopping lists, and for the most generic nolvadex buy part I do too, but never for our “special grill dinner”  We never know what we feel like eating until that night, so we go to the store and figure it out there.

The shopping trip is always an adventure for us, just think of the amount of kids we have with us.  Shopping at Ralphs is easy, it’s quick, and painless, we shop mostly for the Kroger brand (which is Ralphs brand) because it’s cheaper than most, and the quality and taste is great!

I put together a whrrl story so you could join us for our special Family grill night,

We enjoyed our steaks, the tri tip was SO tender!!! 
The sweet corn was exactly that, sweet corn!
If you ask me, it was a great night, delicious food, and the fact that we got to spend a night together, talking, and looking at our beautiful San Diego skyline…
Smore’s were the perfect ending to our night!!!

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
