Here's What We Woke Up To

I have to say it's quite odd to wake up to the sound of the snowplow in the middle of June!

I. Ran. A. Half. Marathon.

I'm finished! And way more tired than I thought I'd be! This is a self portrait I took between miles 7 and 8 in the rain and 44 degrees. Woohoo!

Starting Line

Five minutes till I start trying to run a half marathon! The good news, it's not snowing yet. Bad news, I'm feezing so I couldn't wear my new cute outfit!

Only One to Pose

But we all made it. We're here in Breckenridge and expecting snow the next two days. You can imagine how excited I am!

Thanks from the Tourists

We're off on a little road trip, and its nice to see Pagosa Springs is keeping up the tradition of serving ice cream to the tourists. Goodness knows the fit Coloradans aren't the ones eating it! (And as native Texans we feel more at home in the tourist category than the 'fit' Coloradan.)

More From the Kitchen

Great.
It's official.
I now have no way of containing them in the house.

Some Southern Chefing

I hadn't "cooked" with the kids in awhile, and when I saw this recipe for S'mores Stuffed Brownies I couldn't think of anything that would taste better. I guess the kids were ready to put their culinary skills back to work because when I hollered out, "Who wants to cook?!" I heard 3 voices squeal "Meeeeee!" and stools were in cooking positions before I could even get the ingredients out. Speaking of ingredients, these 2 were guarding them with their life...or maybe somebody was just trying to eat the marshmallows through the package.

The Boss supervised JR's every move very closely. Kyle played with his spoon.

Still scrutinizing the situation. And playing with a spoon.

Kyle perked up when it was time to stir.

Humm, for some reason quite a few of our graham crackers had bite marks in them.

Don't let Kyle's lack of marshmallows in front of him fool you into thinking he was working the hardest at layering them in the pan. He was shoving fist fulls in his mouth as fast as he could.

Our finished product.

And just like Truvy's Cuppa, Cuppa, Cuppa I knew it was going to be a little rich, so I "served it over ice cream to cut the sweetness"! (I seriously did.)

JR said it was the best thing he'd ever put in his mouth!
