Pictures

Our good friend, Carrie Davis, took our family pictures the other day. She did an amazing job, we were so happy with them. It was kind of a pain to try and get everyone to smile and look at the camera all at the same time. But we did it....even though I am glad they are done! So tell me what family picture do you like the best....I can't decide which one to put in our front room.

Canning season is upon us once again!!!

Well, I have been busy canning lately...that is why there have been no new post lately. I have done pickles, pears, peaches, raspberrys, apple pie filling, plum jelly, strawberry freezer jam, a whole bunch of grape juice, potatoes, stewed tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, and salsa! And we have froze a whole bunch of corn! I think I got it all! I am ready to be done canning. By the time October rolls around, I am ready to be done! I still have a lot of tomatoes....crap!!!

My baby is 1!!!

How did you go from this......
To this......

Happy Birthday Bella! I can't believe she is already one! It just seems like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital! It has been an up and down year, and there were times that I wasn't sure how things were going to turn out for her, but she is doing so well. She has been so much fun, and I am so glad that we got her! Happy Birthday baby!

She loved the balloons!

We had a hard time keeping her out of her cake! She wanted to eat the skittles on it so bad!
Reading her birthday cards!
She sure enjoyed her cake! I don't think she quite knew what to do with it. It was bothering her that it was all over her fingers.
