Cheryl's birthday celebration

Jennie called me three days before Cheryl's birthday and asked if she could throw a little party for her here. I'm always up for a fun time with friends, especially since Jennie said she would take care of all the food. All I did was this sign on the door and got the house ready! Here's the birthday girl, 33 and fabulous!
Tamara, Wanda, Jennie, Lisa, Cheryl, and Lonna
Andrea (barely on the left, below) just had twins recently, and she brought her baby girls. Jennie cooked up a storm! Amy joined us a bit later too.
Lonna and Jenn enjoying some moist and delicious birthday cake before heading out to the pool.
Gabby, Cherie, and Wanda, plus the angelic twins
What a slice of heaven to hold on your birthday! Cheryl's on cloud nine.
Speaking of heavenly goodness....
Those apple dumplings were out of this world!
Jennie prepared an incredible feast.
We had a fun evening outside by the pool and relaxing in the spa. Happy birthday to Cheryl!

This was the best birthday party ever! Thank you so much Kelly and Jennie and everyone who came! You really made my day special. I'm wanting all of that food again, just looking at it. :) And holding the babies WAS so heavenly!! I feel that I should state, however, I am not actually pregnant myself. Ack! Never wearing that shirt again. :)

That was really fun, and I will add that you never know what new and interesting things you are going to learn when you go into a party like that, but when it is all said and done the guests were full of yummy food and new fun facts about each other.

Pralines and Dreams

I considered myself to be a decent cook and baker.  However, candy making had been unchartered territory until I recently cracked the code of a favorite—chewy Texas Pecan Pralines.  This culinary epiphany came only days before I left my home sweet home in Austin, Texas, to return to CU Boulder after an epic hiatus to wrap up my bachelor’s degree in journalism. When I was a little girl, I remember tasting heavenly, creamy homemade pralines, bursting with pecans, handcrafted with love by my mom.  She only whipped them up a few times, but I just couldn’t get the memory of those buttery, sugary treats out of my head.  They were  that  good.  I asked her if she still had the recipe, but I knew it would be hopeless since my mom wasn’t one for keeping track of her down-home style cooking. I married my college sweetheart, a guy with the same first name as me, and began teaching myself to cook.  Becoming “Kelly Times Two” was amazing, and I had ...

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...
