Fall-ish Foods

One of my favorite fall foods to make are these pumpkin spice chocolate chip muffins!  They're super easy & super delicious!

• 1 box Betty Crocker spice cake mix
• 1 15oz can of canned pumpkin
• 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Prepare cake according to the back of the box.  Stir in canned pumpkin & chocolate chips & bake according to muffin/cupcake directions.  Usually have to bake 1-2 minutes longer than the longest time listed--you'll be able to stick a fork in them & have it come out dry.  

Aren't those silicone muffin cups cute!?  My sweet friend Renee got them for me--the muffins don't stick to them at all, they're awesome!

The Wedding of 2010

Last weekend my cousin Lee got married!  She & Rex had dated in college, parted ways and then reconnected a few years later living in DC.  The whole wedding weekend was on the Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio & was beautiful!  

Our whole family came to San Antonio for the weekend & had so much fun together!  My cousin Adam came in from Korea & brought his fiance Oak.  It was the first time I'd gotten to meet Oak--she is lovely!  This was the first American wedding she'd seen--everything from the hen party, rehearsal dinner, ceremony & reception were new to her & it was so fun to get to see it through her eyes!  

The first generation cousins (new & future): Oak, Adam, Bonnie, Rex, me, Betsy & Walter

The Nelsons & Grobes & my favorite pic of my cousin Bear--he planted himself on a step & blew bubbles to his heart's content while Lee & Rex made their grand exit--nothing could distract him!  

Adam & Oak's wedding is in April in South Korea & while the whole extended fam won't be there it's sure to be a fun time!  Can't wait!
