A Boy!

My sister found out yesterday that she is having a boy! I am so excited for her and happy that we finally know so that I can start making him things!!!! Her due date was changed to December 26th, which is weird, because that was my due date with Skyler. Hopefully she won't have to wait until the 26th either, but I really hope she doesn't have to wait until after the 26th! Congratulations kiddo!

A Splashing Good Time!

We went to the sprinkler park yesterday and the kids had a ball! The water was cool, the sun was hot and what kids don't like playing in the water?! They were pretty sad when we had to leave, but we had to get home for nap time! I don't do anything to miss that special time of the day!

Canning Tomatoes!

Today was what summer is all about. This morning my mom came over and she brought with her all of the things we need to can tomatoes, including the tomatoes (since my 5 plants are not doing well at all!). I contributed my stove, my water, and my tomato peeling power and this is what we ended up with. We hope to do this once a week!!! Yummy, I loved canned tomatoes in the winter time!!!!!

13 Years

Wow! It has been 13 years since the blistering heat of 1995 when we said our wedding vows at 10:00 in the morning and then had the worst fight of our marriage and then danced all night in the heat! It has been the best 13 years of my life! It seems like only yesterday we were getting married! Now we have two awesome kids and a wonderful life, more wonderful than I ever dreamed! Thank you so much for being the world's greatest husband! I love you! I, of course, would have uploaded some video, but James fell asleep during the ceremony and the video of the church floor gets a little boring after a second! I look forward to the next 50+ years with you!

Bountiful Harvest

It is just the beginning of harvest season here, for the particular veggies that I planted, but I am already experiencing an overabundant supply of fresh vegetables. I spent yesterday afternoon preparing green beans for freezing and shredding and preparing zucchini for freezing. I love to freeze zucchini. I shred it and then freeze it in one cup measurements so that all I have to do is pull it out and it is ready to make zucchini bread, which we LOVE around here! My brother was nice to let me borrow his vacuum sealer. I had 18 bags of zucchini and 5 bags of green beans. Yummy!
