Peaches and a new skill

I learned how to can peaches. It was a lot of effort to get those 12 jars but don't they look pretty all lined up?! One nice thing about staying home is that I now have time to try new things. I am getting really good at making PB&J without crusts and making things with play-doh. I guess I am replacing one skill set with another. I miss my friends at work, but I really couldn't be happier to stay home. Hurray for me!

Need a Laugh?

Have you seen The Incredibles? I think Sammy looks just like Edna Mode (with these glasses on). Who is Edna Mode? She is the super suit maker, of course! Ah, now you remember.
P.S. Thanks for the crazy glasses from China, Ron. Your influence is alive and well in our home.

I forgot!

I forgot that we went to the Thanksgiving Point Farm last month. Oops! It was tons of fun and I'm surprised I forgot to post our pictures. Maybe it's because they all turned out a little blurry. Do you think I had something on my camera lens? How do you clean your camera lens?

Sorry they are blurry, but enjoy!Sammy loved the little goats but did not want to get out of his stroller. Stroller=Safety.

Sammy really loved watching other kids ride the ponys. Maybe next year!

Picture Overload!

We had some family pictures taken last month and they turned out so great! I couldn't be happier! Kelli's friend, Heather Mildenstein, took them and she is a great girl and a great photographer. I'm sure you'll agree. (She is running a photo special now. Hurry before it fills up!)

All Olympics, All The Time

I LOVE the Olympics! Don't be surprised if you find Sam and I still in our pajammas at noon. We love cheering for the USA. Sam likes watching swimming the best. He has the cutest little fist pump! Hope you are all enjoying the amazing events. If you need something to cheer for, watch the men's swimming final of the 4x100 freestyle relay. It doesn't get any better than that!
Special Shout Out to Josh McAdams. Great boy married to a great Timpview girl! Try to find the Steeple Chase (track and field) and cheer him on.

I am grateful for

Tonight I am grateful for many things...
My sweet little fishy and his super cute bum
My sweet niece Felicity and her cutie pie Mom (Kelli)
Sam starting to learn how to share. As long as no one takes anything too important.
My little man with a sticker from Target on his head. That he wore for 2 hours. And yes, it is in Spanish.
The thing I am most grateful for is my wonderful husband. Not only does he work so hard every day to provide for us and to let me stay home, he rushes home to save me when I'm having a bad day. He is my knight in shining armor and I love him very much.
Thanks for loving me back, D-dog!

Two of a Kind

I have been fighting against everyone who says that Sam looks "just like Devin". I think he looks a lot like me. Well, I guess I was wrong. So, to everyone out there who thinks you are right, you are. (Thanks to Lori Bean for being the only person to ever say that Sam looks like me!)

If I have to be wrong, at least I am surrounded by all these handsome men.
