l&k by the day: Moose!

Whassup y'all. We're just chillin' here watching Wheel-of-Fortune {best gameshow ever}.

We had a relaxing, yet full weekend. Friday night we had the cuzins over to grill brats and hot dogs and play some games together {King's Cup, Moose, golf the card game, among others}. It was a really fun time and one that is seemingly becoming a tradition. To help you understand how fun it was...

Iced. Bummer, dude.

On to Saturday. We've only got one pic from Saturday and it's from the end of the day, but let's start from the beginning. Since Kyle's parents are coming in this coming weekend, we started Saturday off by cleaning the upstairs, after a brisk 8-mile run {L} and bike ride {K}. After fully exhausting ourselves by cleaning, we headed down to the Fritos' house {Eric and Sara DeFreitas} for some eats and some frisbee-bottle-knockdown...

Not sure if that's the name of the game but it was a great game. Essentially, the point is to hit an upright stick with a frisbee in order to make a perched, empty beer bottle hit the ground. If the bottle falls, one point. If the frisbee hits the ground, one point. First to 21 wins. Great game.

This was really our first venture to the Fritos' house and Layne is super-jealous. She can't wait to have a home to decorate, especially one as charming as the Fritos'. Shout out to the charming, lovely, cutesy Fritzy home.

After said foray into the Frito home, we headed to Veteran's Park in downtown Tulsa for the Full Moon 5K. It was pretty spur of the moment in deciding to do the run, but a fun-sounding after party {featuring a world-famous Journey tribute band and free Michelob Ultra for race participants} swayed our decision. Plus, Cole and Racheal were going to run the race as well and we wanted to stay and hang out with them afterwards for a bit.

It was a fun race {and fast, a relatively flat Riverside-based course}. And...this just in: awards for races are given based on gun time, instead of chip time. This perplexes us, on numerous fronts. Layne got third place in the 5K for her age group but will not receive an award because one girl was near the front of the pack, crossed the start line wayyyyyy before Layne but had a chip time 3-seconds slower than Layne. So, even though technically Layne is faster than this girl, Layne did not get third place because we started later. Did you follow that? It doesn't seem fair/right/logical. Come on, USATF and use some brainpower and rethink this system. We think whomever runs the fastest is the fastest. But whatever.

Kyle did good too. He's a clydesdale. We went home to Chardizzle right after the race and made a breakfast scramble 'cause we were starving {the race was at 8pm and we didn't get home 'til 11}. On the way home we found out that TU Men's tennis beat Texas to go to the sweet sixteen. Whoop whoop, Rusty. Reign Cane, y'all.

Sunday was a funday but Sunday was also another cleaning-based day. We first went to Church, next Academy {to procure new running shoes for the new-female-Pre, minus the boozing and driving, and some girly clubs, again for Layne}. After lunch with Joe, Mar, Cal, Kel and Sonny-Money we headed to the driving range for a bit to test the new clubbos.

They look great, don't they?! They also make her the best player in the world:

That pictured drive actually travelled to the next town, she hit it so hard.

Like Kyle's tank? He wears them to the office, too.

After all this fun, we still had energy to a) clean the garage; and b) go get sno-cones from Josh's Sno Shack! Kelly has a brilliant plan to try every flavor at the Shack, going down the list one-by-one. Her most recent visit was a taste-test of Boomer Sooner. Her judgement: Boo on the name, boo on the flavor. The combined flavors were cherry and vanilla but she gave it two thumbs down. {Us Culhanes love vanilla so we might like the flavor, but we'd call it "chernilla" instead of the OU name.}

So, with that inspiration, we decided to do something similar. Our rules: we can skip flavors that we know we won't like {i.e. bubblegum} and we're not necessarily going in order. For our first taste-testing, Layne tried Blue Island {blue raspberry, strawberry and coconut} and Kyle had the Captain Jack {raspberry, pink grapefruit and guava}. All we could mumble between the scoops of yumminess was yum. Two thumbs up.

Then, as if we hadn't had enough sweets, Kyle picked out a great recipe for Layne's weekly baking recipe. Devil's Cake with Angel's Frosting. Holy-Cannoli-Guacamole. It is uh-mazing. Layne usually doesn't eat a lot of the desserts she makes, but this she can't help basically eat Kyle's serving {so he gets another piece, natch}. The frosting is just sugar, egg whites, corn syrup, water and vanilla yet by far one of the best frostings ever.
