More Cooking with Mom


'Look mom, I help....'
Charlie helped get all the dry ingredients in the bowl, and helped stir.  Then spilled the sugar and stuck his finger in the milk/egg mixture.....We were stuck inside in a snow storm, so what do we do?  Bake!

If I was a food blogger, I would have sifted the powdered sugar on top and made them look all pretty, but I'm not, so I didn't...oh well.  These are Funnel Cake Cupcakes.  They were eh, okay, but not as good as the Honey Cornmeal Muffins

Snow Day Part Two!

Dirty, stinky, over-grown dogs LOVE snow...


Our neighbors built an igloo- parenting win




Trying to take down the branch before it takes out our power- seriously, can we get underground power???



We took his gloves off for the snowball fight which he thoroughly enjoyed as you can see...

Probably more pictures of him than you need, but his face was dying of laughter, I had to get it all!











Here we go again!

This one is so wet and heavy, there are transformers blowing everywhere!  Pray we keep our power!
If that branch finally falls- we're screwed

King Ladies Day!

Headed to the game

Not to be a KU snob, but it's been said- there is loud, then there is Allen Fieldhouse loud.  It was a pretty non-eventful game, but at times, the place was down-right quiet.  But it's always fun to be in a college basketball atmosphere, no matter where you are.


This one had us cracking up....
My favorite Aunty
Stacey and her girls
I'm one of the few King ladies with no ties to Iowa State (I had on a red scarf, that's about the best I could do).
L ro R: Jessie, Joyce, Melinda, Myrna, Mollie, Lea, Mal, Stacey, Val and Haley
Mal and Joyce

It was dark as heck in there- made for not so good pics



We went to this awesome restaurant downtown Des Moines called the High Life- it was cheap and delicious
The older ladies ditched us and yet again, it was the sister/cousin mafia out to get crazy

Good times were had


This about sums up our whole night

Ha Ha!

Ho Ho!


Oh, but then it gets so serious....
