Tonight was my ward's annual Pioneer Celebration party. It was certainly HOT, but that's okay because it was a lot of fun. We learned tonight that Parker really likes baked beans. He ate like 3 plate-fuls (NOT IT on changing THAT diaper)! Carson played in the sandy dirt on the baseball field for a good part of the night. You should have seen the bath water tonight. NASTY! I had to fill up the bathtub with the kids in it, then drain the water, then refill the tub. Even after that, I had tons of sand left in my bathtub after the water drained the final time. Good times.
The best part of the evening: As part of this celebration our ward also has a Bake-Off for the desserts. I had signed up for a dessert and then sort of forgot until 4:00 this afternoon. I only had 1 1/2 hours before the party. I quickly made cornflake marshmellow treats with Reese's Pieces in them. The Young Men and Young Women of our ward were the judges. Believe it or not, but I won 2nd place! It was pretty awesome. One lady even made a cake that was 3D and looked like Cookie Monster! It was insanely cool and she got 3rd place! The moral of the story...candy will make you a winner!

Candy will make you a winner - especially when teenagers are the judges. If the judges were anyone over 80 the cobblers and raisin cookies would have won. I would certainly have eaten your treat. It looks delicious to me.
Did you buy your own ribbon?
No I did not buy my own ribbon! Sheesh! That's what they gave me.
