Spencer has many talents and this last weekend he shared a few. We started Saturday by planting a tree! Mature trees are one of the biggest things we miss about Cache Valley. Spencer was perfect for this job because he worked on the grounds crew as a student at USU. He made a perfect tree ring and mixed the soil just right. He was even patient enough to allow the boys to help.
I love that this picture captures Penn imitating Spencer patting the soil down and spreading the dirt around. A fly kept landing on or near Logan and he was trying to catch it with his index finger and thumb, very entertaining to watch.
That night Spencer made his White Bean Chicken Chili for the Ward Chili Cook off. He'd only made it a few times, so he was a little nervous. Turns out he had nothing to worry about, he won! That's right I'm married to an award winning chef. It's a great recipe and Spencer nailed it. The prize was a food storage kit complete with rice, wheat, oats and beans. He's already thinking about what recipe he'll use for next year!

I too miss the mature trees- there are only small ones here cuz the oldest house is only 3 years old.
Oh, and that is a cool prize for the cook off! We had a cook off last weekend too, but they just gave bags of candy to the winners.
that is great, Spencer you will have to share your recipe with the rest of us. I am anxious to give it a try. good Job on the tree planting as well
