This was another fun thing that I made for my Dad for his birthday, well with my Mom's help. My dad is known for always saying "Life is tough, then you die." So I figured that it would make for a perfect cake for his birthday!! :) I am very proud of this!

Our Bake Off..

So Adam and I have been really into watch the 'Food Network Channel' lately. We didn't really realize our obsession until on Sunday when I decided to bake some cookies and Adam volunteered to help, that it truly came out. I was just baking normal chocolate chip cookies, since they are my forte, when Adam asked what over interesting ingredients we were adding since chocolate chops are "boring." So we divided the dough in half so he could make his own bizarre cookies and mine would still be delicious. When he started naming random ingredients he could put in, such as, 'chili powder, lemon zest, orange zest, oregano, and coconut,' I could clearly tell he had never baked before. So when he then he decided on putting butterscotch chips with lemon zest in his dough, I was actually impressed. But when he said that his were going to be better than mine (which is impossible), we turned it into a competition.

The cookies:
... A- Tammy... B-Adam

... Adam & his cookies...
Our judges:
.... Father....

... Mother...

... Kristen ...

.... The Group .... tasting and writing down their scores..

The Scorecards had three different areas of scoring: Appearance (1-5) Taste (1-5) Overall (1-5)




Dun Dun Dun... I won!! Yay!!!!!





I beat Adam by seven points! Although, Kristen did practically give me perfect scores, and if you take your our of the running then Adam and I would have tied. But I used Kristen as an advantage for me. So I won!!

However, next week will probably be new cookies for a bake off since Adam will want to redeem himself...

.. oh well I still won!! :)

Last week Heather and Hunter came to visit! It was so much fun being able to spend time with them! Hunter is getting so old and he is so incredibly adorable. I can't wait to go up to Utah in October and be able to see them again and also be able to see David and his family. I feel like it has been such a long time since we have seen them! But I am so excited to see them nonetheless.

Then the Saturday after Heather and Hunter left. Adam and I went down with my parents and Kristen to go to Brocks baby blessing and Kadens birthday party. We had such a fun time down there. Especially spending time with Spencer and Sunny & their adorable kids. It was so cute to see Adam with Brock. And I changed my first diaper in years. It was quite a productive trip! :) I am so glad that they live so close and can visit often.

Other than that, I am getting tired of working Sundays and working in the atmosphere that I am in currently. So I am looking for work elsewhere. I had an interview yesterday and will find out in seven to ten days, so I am hoping for the best. That way I will not have to work Sundays and be able to spend more time with Adam. I can't wait to actually spend time with the hubby!

Well I hope that all is doing well with you guys!! We love you all and hope that you are all doing well!! Love you all!!
