Have you heard of the flour game?

This flour game was always a popular one when I would have FHE with families in Uruguay as a missionary. Joel grew up playing this game with his family and about once a year we pull out the flour and cup and go at it. It's always a hit! The boys love to pack the flour in the cup, dump it on a cookie sheet, place a penny in the center and start slicing. Whoever makes the penny fall has to fish it out with his mouth. After Adam started spitting flour everywhere the game ended for us! Who wants to go after that? Good, clean entertainment!

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!
