Chili Cookoff

Our ward had our annual chili cookoff and I made my White Chili recipe from my Aunt Janet. We all got dressed in our western gear (we all had black cowboy boots on... Car's are not quite cowboy boots - but we made do - she's outgrown her pink ones!) I took 3rd place overall - and won a recipe book!

They had a parrot show and it was really entertaining! The kids loved it and were very interested in the birds!

Carolyn loves to wear her cowgirl hat!

No excuses!

Well, I am not trying to make excuses for not blogging for almost 2 months(!) - but I can't always get on the computer anymore!

One of our favorite things - Baking!

One of our favorite activities is baking/cooking. Cam & Car are really helpful in the kitchen... as you can see, Cameron is helping himself! We made little butterscotch birds nests with eggs - jelly beans.
I love this shot of Cam's hand around my face. He sits on my lap and holds my face in his hands a lot! He is very sweet and "hands-on". On a daily basis Cameron asks me, "Mom, what can you do for me?" and "Mom, what can you get for me" and "Can I have a surprise?"
Carolyn was able to get more jelly beans on the cookies than in her belly! At Christmas time I bought all 3 of us matching aprons and we wear them on all our cooking endeavors!
