A Little Frisbee Golf Action...

Did you know that Frisbee Golf is a real sport?  Neither did I.  I guess the technical name is Disc Golf, but I prefer Frisbee Golf.

Ken suddenly had the idea for us to go buy frisbees and play on Saturday.  Alright, I am game, I can do this.  Well, little did I know that the first course we would visit would be similar to trapezing through the Amazon Jungle.

Yeah, I know.  I ended up with no less than 20 chigger bites on my two precious feet. 

My poor little foot


I am currently covered in clear nail polish just trying to keep from tearing into the bites from scratching.  Since when do I get chiggers?  I never remember getting chiggers before, but then again when would I be walking through a field with an invitation for them to make my body their new home?

I will admit, it was fun, besides the whole chigger part.  I did learn that I am good at playing catch with a frisbee, but really not all that good at frisbee golf.  Ken said that I need some work.

After the jungle course, we went to another course by one of the high schools.  Let's just say it was like night and day.  This second course was completely Johnson County maintained.  It was pristine. 

We quickly learned that there is whole group of folks that really take this game seriously.  They have multiple discs and bags to carry them around.  Don't believe me?

Yeah, I was a little in awe and surprised at the same time.  What did not surprise me is the fact that these boys have Missouri plates.  I am only kidding, well, sort of.

A Little Gigi's and a New Favorite...

I personally feel if you are having a bad day, that you should run right out and get yourself a cupcake.  Better yet, get two, one might not be enough.  Words to live by.

Each week I check out Gigi's website and see what new cupcake I can try next.  I had decided that I should try Miss Princess and Wedding Cake.  I am not going to lie, I had tried the Wedding Cake before and loved it.  Unfortunately, it was prior to my "I want to try ever flavor" challenge, so I did not have a picture.  I can only think of one way to fix that problem...

Here they are in all their glory.  Miss Princess and Wedding Cake.

Miss Princess was a little surprising.  There is a hit of strawberry in the cake mix and it was quite deliciously.  I was hesitant to try it because while I love strawberries, I am not a huge fan of strawberry in cake or ice cream.  Miss Princess did not disappoint.  I think it was the cream cheese frosting that sealed the deal.  Bravo Gigi, bravo.

And Wedding Cake.  I may as well just stop the challenge right now and concede defeat.  This has to be the best cupcake I have had.  It is so delicious.  The odd thing is, it is such a simple cupcake.  It really does taste like wedding cake and I get the feeling that I could eat about four of them without hesitation.  This should come to no surprise because at weddings I have been known to eat multiple pieces of cake.

Even Ken loved the Wedding Cake cupcake.  Yes, I was nice enough to give him a bite.

Friday Fun Facts...

• Ken and I have reached a milestone.  We purchased a brand new HVAC unit and had it installed on Monday.  I know, we really know how to spend our money.  I told Ken that this makes us official, real adults.
• At our old house, we had a fox that used to visit us in our backyard.  I named him Francis.  Well guess what, I am 90% certain that Francis has relocated and lives behind our new house.  I saw a fox the other day and I told Ken it must be Francis.  Who else could it be?
• I have spent the last three months of my life watching all of the Lost episodes.  I watched the finale on Saturday and I liked the ending.  I am sure if I had spent six years of my life watching the show, I would have been upset, but since it was only three months, I am at peace with it.
• I am shocked at the amount of free time I now have after finishing Lost.  It was kind of like I was being held hostage and had to watch as many episodes I could.  I told Ken that I am getting a lot more sleep now that I do not have to stay up watching it. 
• I have one week left of Psychology.  I absolutely without a doubt despise that class.  I cannot wait for it to be over.
• I got my hair highlighted last night and decided to move my part to the other side of my head.  Life changing decisions going on over here.

Happy Friday!

Dance Party...

A few weeks ago we had the besties over for a little grilling.  It ended up turning into a little dance party with all of us gathered in the living room watching Avery and Evan dance.  They were quite the crowd pleasers.

These two were down right getting jiggy with it

The love to break it down with a little Pitt Bull

Along with the dancing came some Husky Chasin'

It was also discovered that Avery LOVES Kya.  She followed Kya around all night.  Jill may have inquired about how much Kya charges per hour to babysit.  Kya may have responded with there is no amount of money in the world that would cause me to watch two children!  She was so good with them, just confused as to what the little people were doing in her house.  :)

This girl is such a mess!  

I love these three girls so much!

Saturday Happenings...

On Saturday Ken and I decided to drive over to Lawrence to spend the afternoon.  We had a little lunch, walked around and shopped, made our way over to the Natural History Museum on the KU campus, and finished off with ice cream.  It was the perfect little Saturday afternoon.

Walking around Mass Street

We had lunch at Jefferson's and I really liked the dollar bills all over the walls.

Outside the museum

 I like turtles!
