For Emily

here is your prize:

Dear Emily: Happy birthday :mrgreen: ;)

kelsiescrazyworld has been, at least temporarily, retired. :(

Blogspot has turned out to be an annoying medium to work with and I'm taking a break.

If you want to follow my writing, go to http://kylermartyn.tumblr.com. That's my tumblr. I post pictures and writings sometimes. The writing is different than the writing on kelsiesvirtualnotebook...I write it for me, and not so much for you. But that's okay, because sometimes it's cool to read too. :)

Thank you for following me through this blog! Maybe someday I'll resurrect it. :)

Love,
Kelsie

Shameless Advert...

So, if you haven't noticed, I haven't posted here in a while. :P Sorry about that. And we're going out of town for 2 weeks tomorrow, so I won't be posting for awhile.

However, in the meantime, I have been posting a lot on my other blog - my Virtual Notebook. I've been doing a semiregular posting thingy on Facebook, and then also posting it over here for my readers who don't have Facebook.

So, for the less goofy and more deep-thought side of me, check out my Virtual Notebook. :)

Emily, you're a silly silly girl :P

An Update

So, I haven't posted about Colorado yet. I think most of the people who read this know why, but if you don't, it's because my boyfriend who we went to visit in Colorado broke up with me. So I went back and forth for awhile on if I still wanted to post pictures or not. When I find the time and am on the computer with all the pictures, I will post pictures from the stuff we did as a family in CO - Royal Mountain Gorge, the Garden of the Gods, etc. :) So I just gotta find time.

Also I've got a whole 'nother set of Gathering pictures to post. <3 last weekend was amazing and beyond description! So again, when I'm downstairs on the computer with the pics, I will get this blog updated for y'all. :)

Dad's Birthday

The Colorado post will come a little later, because it's gonna take me a really long time to post all of that stuff. :) So right now I'll just do Dad's birthday post, which was March 11.

This is a chocolate, peanut butter, more chocolate, and more peanut butter cake. :D Here's my recipe:

Cake:

Ingredients:

One box chocolate cake.

Instructions: Make as directed on box.

Filling:

Ingredients:

1 cup of peanut butter

1 stick of butter

2 cups of powdered sugar

milk

Instructions: Melt the butter and mix it with the peanut butter. Add the sugar a little bit at a time. If it's too thick, add some milk. If it's already frosting consistency, you're good to go. Place filling on the first layer of the cake. Now place the second layer of the cake on top of the filling.

Frosting:

Ingredients:

One container of chocolate frosting from Wal-Mart

Instructions: Frost cake all the way around

Topping:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/3 cup butter

1/8 tsp vanilla

2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions: Melt butter and mix with peanut butter. Add vanilla. Add sugar and blend with a blender. It should be crumbly. Take crumbs and sprinkle over top of cake. Some peanut butter crumble may be left over, depending on how much you put on the top; you can either eat this or...I can't think why you would do anything other than eat this. A tall glass of milk goes nicely with it.

Ta-da! That's how you make Kelsie's Peanut Butter Chocolate More Peanut Butter More Chocolate Cake! :D

Snowfall

Yes, it snowed on Valentine's day! In Texas!

Some pretty shots with the carnation I got from Mom and Dad on Valentine's day. :)

We made a huge snow fort!
...or, uh, okay, less-than-huge.

Question: What do you get if you take

and add
and a little
plus some
?

The answer:
snice cream! Snow ice cream. I invented the recipe, sorta, with some help from Google. And it sounds weird, but

we love it. :)

Catarina seeing snow for the first time!

Chris made a bowling alley out of snow...

I had some fun with breaking stereotypes and made a cactus and a rattlesnake. Out of snow. And they were probably the first I've ever seen. :D
