Taste of Dutch in Layton

Mark & I went to the Taste of Dutch in Layton this year. It was April 10th. You go and cook whatever you want in Dutch Ovens, and people come around and sample it. It is fun to talk to people that interested in learning more about Dutch Ovens, or they just love to cook in them like we do.

We sortof forgot to take very many pictures...I guess having to much fun cooking. LOL

We made a chocoate chip cheese cake, and 5 pans or orange rolls. Another fun day, playing with the black pots!

Jesse and DaNell's birthday dinner

Jesse's & DaNell's birthday are only a couple of days apart. So, we planned a nice dinner for them. Gwyn and I went to their house and cooked and had a nice dinner surpise waiting for him

when he got home that day.

Gwyn helped with the whole dinner. This is the garlic bread that she made. She loves to cook! And I love cooking with her. She is so eager to learn.

Dinner in the oven.

Waiting patiently for dinner to cook and her Dad to get home.

Gwyn made this head band out of colored duck tape. I think it was amazing!

It was so touching when her Daddy got home, she met him in at the door and fly into his arms and just hugged him. The kids miss their dad so much while he is working out of town.

They loved the dinner we fixed for them.

Opening thier presents. Jesse got a fishing pole, and DaNell got a new shirt.

Shoulder Surgery

Mark fell back in December 2009 on the ice...and wrecked his left shoulder again. He was putting it off until after the Dutch Oven World cookoffs. And he knew what he was in for. It was just 2 years ago, that he had that same shoulder done. Needless to say, he was not excited about going in again.
These are the after pictures of him.

This is right after he got home...he is still not feeling any pain.
