Halloween cupcakes


The family is heading to our church Halloween Carnival tonight. There's going to be a chili cook-off and trunk-or-treating. Apparently, there were too many volunteers to bring chili, and not enough for cupcakes. When the email arrived yesterday asking for volunteers to help out, I jumped at the chance to change my cooking efforts to the more sweet, fun choice. Who wouldn't? I love to make cupcakes! Should be a fun night out.

We had a lot of fun tonight. I would have taken pictures, but my battery died. There was plenty of chili and an excess of cupcakes, dozens of extras. Last year, they ran out, so this year was better. I tasted a cupcake when I got home and it was tasty.

The kids at the trunk or treat were so cute tonight. Gwen looked awesome, walking around in a little fish costume, I believe. She had her little boo bucket from the baby shower I had for her mom. Tyson and Avery looked adorable. Caleb looked so cute and green. Hannah made the hippest nerd ever. Kathrine was a beautiful prom queen. Livie was Batgirl and such a doll. Kaitlin rocked as an elephant with the sweetest manners. It's always so fun to see the kids in their costumes.

Jenny and Jared, always stylin' at Halloween, were Marge and Homer and looked hilarious.

I love the cupcakes, too bad I couldn't have been there to have one. Sounds like it was a good turn out.

I ended up making the cupcakes and they were a huge hit on Halloween night at our neighbor's house. I couldn't find any spiders though (note to self: buy them earlier next year) so I topped them with candy corn instead.

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...

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 ...

San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon.  We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots.  It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio.  We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces.  More photos of the family.  The family, strolling along th...
