Canning Season

Last week, My Mom, My Dad, My Sister Sharae, and I canned peaches and pears. It is a lot of work, but totally worth it. They taste WAY better than store bought. I took a couple of pictures of all the work we did. We canned 46 quarts total for me. We canned probably 90 quarts for my Mom, and for my sister we did about 46 quarts too.WHEW! It took 3 days, all day to do it. These pics are just of my quarts.

Farewell to a Good ol' Friend

I realize that most of you thought somebody I knew died, but that is not the case. After Sunday's game we have to say good bye to Yankee Stadium. I am very sad but hope for the best in the new stadium. I can say; however, that the feeling you get when you walk out of the subway and BOOM! Yankee Stadium is right in front of you. I got to go there when I was 16 to see the Yankees play the Angels. What a great feeling to be part of a legendary edifice. If I could ask for a moment of silence please..........................................................Thanks.

Go COUGARS!

Shad and I went to the BYU vs. UCLA football game yesterday. What a blast!! We cheered, got major sunburn, and sang the cougar fight song! We had so much fun! The cougars pretty much stomped all over UCLA the score was 59 to 0! What a game! We went with my brother Skyler and my brother in law Brady (I was the only girl!) FUN TIMES!

Buddies!

I love that my kids seem to like one another. It is great to see them give each other a hug and kiss. How rewarding! I love to hear them playing together and have a good time. Now don't get the wrong idea here, they do fight too (Chandler likes to shut Brooklyn in the pantry, and sometimes he bites!) but overall it is fun to see them together!

Labor Day Camping

So over Labor day we went camping with my Family! We had a great time even though it rained and even hailed!! But thanks to my parents tent trailer we all stayed pretty dry. Here are some pics! We had a great time !


Here are Shad and Chandler hanging out!

Chandler Loved swinging in Shad's Hammock! He had a blast, and got really dirty!
