Somebody has a BIRTHDAY!
Jery ended up with another birthday rolling around! And as always, the kids had a great time getting ready to celebrate...so much so I was about on overload! The energy level around here from about 2:00 on through bedtime was WAY high!
The kids kept adding candles onto the cake...it was ON FIRE!
Jery is one of the hardest people to buy for, so I got him Rockies tickets (that he hasn't actually picked the ones he wants yet and if he waits too long, we'll be sitting in the rock pile), Mimi and Pa got him babysitting for the Rockies weekend (tee hee), the kids got him candy, and we made him a book...All About Daddy. It was a hit!
The kids also picked out a game for him called Headbandz. Of course, it is a kid friendly game.

Broccoli Cheese Soup
Now, again, when your husband says "mmmmm....honey, this is good!" you know it's a keeper. For me, Chili's has the BEST broccoli cheese soup, and I personally don't this this is as good, but Jery does...he says it's better!
I modified the recipe in the cookbook Don't Panic....Dinner's in the Freezer. It's a good one...I've made and thoroughly enjoyed many of these recipes!
1 cup carrot, finely chopped
1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup fresh broccoli, cut into small pieces
1 3/4 cup chicken broth
2 cups milk
1/4 cup flour (I think you need more, but not a half cup...somewhere in between!)
1/2 t. paprika
1/2 t. salt
4-5 ounces of Velveeta cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
In a stockpot, heat the first 6 ingredients to boiling; reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until veggies are tender.
Whisk together the milk, flour, paprika, and salt in a bowl.
Add to broth mixture and cook until thick and bubbly.
Add cheese and stir until melted.
Can you say yum?
