All Things Kelly

Leon had 2 fantasy football drafts this weekend and in case you are not a football widow this is truly an important occasion.  I would guess he ranks this time of year up there with the birth of Eloise and our wedding.  Honestly, I bet it likes it more than our wedding.  But being the wife I have some insight into what is really going on and I am going to out him on a couple of his tricks. 

I am usually completely transparent and  honest with you. But there are a couple of things I may have intentionally not mentioned.  So in the spirit of full disclosure I have a couple of confessions…

Last year when Kristin and I found my amazing mid-century sofa from Craigslist, the previous owner was nice enough to throw in some extra junk.

Have you ever seen the episode of The Office where Michael tries to get his team not to worry about their pending company bankruptcy by having an internal office murder mystery? It’s hilarious and frankly what good manager doesn’t pull techniques from the Michael handbook?  This past weekend Leon and I hosted a murder mystery for my Colorado Springs team. 

Leon’s childhood dream was to have a home theater.  Not only does he have one, he can now say he has an awarding winning theater! 

In a few short days Ms. Eloise Kelly will be an international traveler.  So what does it take to prepare for vacation with a 13 month old? 

Now that we are nearly one year at Starlite Kibanda we are finalizing some small projects that have been on our to do list. 

Elle has been going to the pool in practice for her trip to Aruba.  She also has been practicing the stairs at Grams, over and over and over and over again.  This weekend she worked on helping Papa put together a few accessories for her new play room.  Here are a few photo highlights!

On Monday we took a family bike ride to America the Beautiful Park and along the way I got a flat.  Lucky for me Eloise and Papa are a professional bicycle repair dynamic duo. 

In our lovely mountain town of Cripple Creek there are some very adorable donkeys. They are the descendants of the mining donkeys from over 150 years ago, used in the gold rush.  In order for the town to feed and care for this wild crew of about a dozen, Cripple Creek hosts an annual event (now in it’s 79th year) called Donkey Derby Days.
