Enjoyable Evening!

HERE'S TO ANOTHER 25 YEARS!
We usually do not order desert when we are out for dinner,
(unless they have creme brulee)
but the waiter brought this to us because it was our anniversary.
Hot Lava cake.
It was really good!
(Also Nordstroms Cafe has a delectable Lava Cake!)
Try It!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KEN!

IS THIS THE BEST PICTURE I COULD FIND?????
YEP! SAD!
I guess I could scan one of those cheesy cruise photos.
Maybe, I'll do that.
I am always the photographer,
and when I see a picture of myself I understand more clearly why
I choose to have it that way!
I married Kendall 25 years ago today! Well, me and two kids!
Three months ago as our last child left the nest,
we find ourselves alone,
FOR THE FIRST TIME!
EVER!
WEIRD!
In a good way!
Thank you Ken for being such a great Dad, and a patient husband!
Thank you for always supporting me!
(FOR MORAL SUPPORT AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT!)
It has been a great 25 years!
FYI in another 25 yrs. we will be 74!
I would marry you all over again!
I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Quick Put Together Dinner

I had my grand kids for dinner, so I baked up some frozen Tyson's chicken.
The Dumplings you can buy in the frozen isle, no need to thaw, just throw them into a little hot extra virgin olive oil, brown and serve. There are several flavors to choose from.Ham fried rice is always a favorite. Mix scrambled egg, cooked rice, chopped up ham, chopped celery, snap peas and a little soy sauce. Mix gently...Walla.
You can add frozen peas, water chestnuts, peanuts, corn....Whatever.
The kids loved everything.
They got a little protein from the egg and meat.
The grapes were a great compliment.

These cupcakes are fun!
Confetti Cake,
I added double the confetti sprinkles.
Vanilla, almond cream cheese frosting and
Topped with yet
more sprinkles!
This pan above went to my husbands work
because they were rejects!
I took these Confetti Cupcakes and
Boston Cream Cupcakes below

I hoped everyone liked them!
I am sad my class is over!
It has been really fun!
THANKS KIRBY!!!!!!!
You did an amazing job teaching our class!

Boston Cream Cupcake

These are my favorite cupcakes I think!
Vanilla cake with bavarian cream filling
and a glaze of Ganache!
They are not too rich, not too sweet,
Just right!

THE 4TH

MY GRANDBABIES MY LIFE! Gabrielle , Taelynn , Adilynn and Darren Joseph Junior . I had Darren and Tara's kids over the weekend of the 4th. We went to the Park and ran the races. Due to some false starters....Junior Coughlin took 3rd place out of 20 or so 1 yr. olds. Adi was not sure she wanted to race and you can tell by the look on her face.
Tae consoled her and she ended up running.
GREAT FUN!!
