First of all we are pleased to announce that we won the chili and chocolate cook off! Our ward has this event every year and this year we decided to participate. It was so much fun to taste all of the different chillis and chocolate desserts that people made. It's also fun to get more into the ward. We love it! It was fun that my mom went too. Sterling made his spicy mexican soup and won "hottest chilli award" I made a rocky road pie and won "chocolateliest chocolate award". Sterling is trying to make a "this chili is spicy" face and I am trying to make a "mmm this is good chocolate face" hehe As for the holidays, Sterling brought home some beautiful flowers for me for valentines day. I am a flower fanatic I LOVED THEM. Thanks Sterling!
For St. Patties day sterling made a shepherds pie. It was wonderful and he just made it up. Man I want to learn how to just make things up like he does.
It was also Sterling's mom's birthday in March. We went out to the cheescake factory and then the next day we went out again to celebrate her birthday and our brother in laws birthday. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures so here is an older picture of Sterling's parents. I like them a lot and appreciate all they do for us. Susan is such a great mom with all of the kids.Again I have to add another flower picture. These are the flowers I arranged for Susan's birthday gift.
As for everything else, we've been keeping busy. Sterling has been doing a bunch of maintenance on our cars such as changing oil, changing our fuel filters etc. Sterling was doing some things on my car and found this:The exhaust manifold cracked on my car. I think I've been driving with it cracked for a long time. We decided that we are just going to leave it because it doesn't cause any problems for the car. LUCKY. phewph

Between school, work and all of the other stuff that has been going on the past couple of months I have found time to finish some of my projects that I had been working on. Here are a few
This is my first baby papoose. It is soooo soft! Now that I have learned how to do it I am going to make more out of cuter colors.So that's a summary of what we've been doing lately. It's been nice to relax a little bit this weekend. Hope you all had a great weekend.
