Yummy Peaches

It's canning time again! I was just recently called as the Ward Canning Specialist. Lovely. I do love to can and talk about food storage so I actually feel qualified for this calling. I ordered some Utah peaches from a friend and my mother came over and we worked all day. Thanks Mom! We ended up canning 21 quarts and freezing the rest because the thought of canning one more jar was completely overwhelming. Joel loves to make fruit smoothies so I'm glad to contribute to his frozen fruit supply. Delicious!!

University of Arizona vs Citadel

As if playing flag football wasn't enough for my boys Saturday, we had to drive to Tucson to see a real college game. There's nothing like hanging out with cousins and watching football. All my boys are obsessed with the game right now. We headed up to Tucson to see the Wildcats blow out Citadel. Although it wasn't the most exciting game, they had a blast!

I love Lucy!

Here is the latest addition to our family. Her name is Lucy and she's an 8 month old schnoodle. She is so playful and fun and loves to bark at the kids. Oh my! Joel has some training to do this weekend. I'm not sure what I was thinking but I felt like the kids needed another sweet smelling animal to love. Let's pray she likes her new home!

Melissa and Tom

Great friends are hard to come by. When we were in California over Labor Day weekend we stopped by to visit Melissa and Tom. Oh how we miss them!

Star Student

Morgan was picked as the Star Student! The best part of the week was bringing home Freedom Bear and taking him everywhere. She wrote about her adventures and told the class about them. I was able to visit her classroom today and watch as she bravely and proudly stood up and told about herself and her family. She did an incredible job and I was so amazed at how grown up she is. You go girl!
