My award winning cooking

That's right my friends, your eyes do not deceive you.  One of the world's worst cooks has won a cooking award.  I ventured to make a chili for this years ward chili cook-off, and won for... the most unique chili!  I took my enchilada recipe, which is my one speciality, and turned it into a chili.  I thought it was pretty good, and others must have too, because every last drop was gone!  It's a miracle!

Mourning the rapid decline of my 20's

Today is my 29th birthday.  How did this happen???  Do you remember when you were a kid, and all you wanted to be was a grown up, and it took for-ev-er?   And then when you finally become an adult, time goes by in a flash?? Next thing you know, I'll be pushing forty!  

Okay, off my soapbox now.  Sorry, I needed to rant for a second.  :) 

It was a very nice day, and to make it even better, my parents are here.  They are visiting from Utah, and will be here for two weeks.  It is good to have them around.  It's will also be nice to have them here for Mason's birthday and Halloween.  Hopefully my kids don't wear them out too much!  Mason is already dreading their departure.  Tonight during family prayer, he prayed for Grandma and Grandpa not to go.  This might get interesting...

Get to work boy!
