Wyatt had chocolate pudding for the first time at lunch today. He usually gets vanilla or tapioca....not as messy! Needless to say, he loved it!
And here is his scary 'bear' face! He and daddy roar at each other a lot these days!!I talked my wife into letting me buy an HD Flip camcorder (she was not thrilled about the idea) with the promise that we would start recording more of Wyatt's explorations and family outings; however, this summer I have also taken on the challenge to grill more. This was a great meal with amazing flavor and was very easy to prepare. As I say in the video I would pull it off the grill when the center temp is 165-170 degrees, this will give you a medium-well finish. As side dishes we made foil potatoes and grilled tomatoes. 1 HD Flip, 2 grills cooking, 6 family members, and a lot of fresh strawberry margaritas, doesn't get much better then that. Stay tuned for the next, Grilling with the Balk's when we make Beer Can Chicken!
For the Beef:
1 Flank Steak (1.5-2 lbs.)
6 Slices of bacon
Coarse salt & black pepper
For the Filling:
1 Piece (6-8oz) kielbasa
6oz Cooked ham
4 Ribs of celery
2 Large Carrots
1 Red bell pepper (Stemmed and seeded)
6oz Romano cheese
Wyatt woke up to this new play set (courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa Balk) on Monday. You will notice his mouth is open in amazement in all of the pictures!
This one is my favorite. Brian had to talk him into sitting down. He wanted to run down the slide!
What a great expression!
Paul, Kelli, and their three little one came up to visit everyone today. We took advantage of the nice weather and had a pool party. 
Wyatt was more impressed with the sprinkler daddy brought out than the pool!
As were all of the kids I think!
Apparently it is more fun to stand outside of the pool and play than it is to be in the pool!
Wyatt's first run through the sprinkler!
Wyatt and I have been walking/running in the morning when it's nice out....he's become quite curious as to how my iPod works.
Doesn't this smirk say 'look out I'm going to get you'!
Here is his nice 'cheese' for mommy.
Wyatt watched Brian pound my garden posts into the ground a few weeks ago and he insists on 'helping' finish it every few days.
Yes, I know it's probably not the safest toy to play with...I suppose I get an F in parenting on these days.
Wyatt got a new outside toy this week....a John Deere tractor! He loves it!
He even tried to take it to bed with him the first night....it didn't get up the stairs as he had planned!
Here he is stalking a rabbit in the back yard...he just doesn't understand why they run away from him:)
