weekend

So the fair is this week. We went on Friday, and i won my first ribbon! (haha!) I made white chocolate scones (which got 3d place in the ADULT section- long story), painted a plate which got 2nd place, and dream bars that didn't win anything. (we had to turn them in before they cooled, and they were still gooey!)

on friday, we celebrated caroline's birthday. we made a really nice lunch of shrimp, bread, salad, and coconut cake. it was yummy!:D it was a little disapointing, because one of my grandma's couldn't come because she was sick, and one showed up and told us she'd eat a piece a cake and stay for 2o minutes (which i was a little ticked off about)... anyways, i hope caroline had a good birthday! me and lauren got her a really adorable anchor necklace from the jewel box.

yesterday, my dad randomly (and awesomely!) told us we were getting a trampoline. so we went to sports authority and now we have been jumping away!:) it's really good excercise too!:)

the sermon at church was so good. we are covering genesis. here's a song i like!


well.. hope u had a good weekend. ahhh monday is almost here.

Apple pie & autumn

FALL!!! Not officially, but it is in the 60's today. I've been thinking about fall... And I got an urge to make a pie. My parents had picked up some fresh apples, so I made apple pie. It was splendid! And very easy too... (I didn't make my own crust, but I'll do that sometime!)

Easy Apple Pie

• 1 (9 in) pie crust, buttered
• 5-6 apples, but I did 7 because they were small
• 1 1/2 sticks butter (3/4 cup)
• 1 c. flour
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts. I used walnuts
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg

Peal and cut apples. Place apples in pie crust and sprinkle with cinnamon and 1 tbsp sugar. In a bowl, mix 1 cup sugar, flour & butter. Blend in un-beatend egg, pinch of salt, and nuts. Mix well and pour over apples. If desired, put a top crust on the pie. Bake at 350 degress for 45 minutes.

And, Bon Appetite! My FIRST pie, and it was very good if I do say so myself!:)

Thank you for your sweet comments in my last post! WHO"S EXCITED ABOUT FALL?!!!
