Jam Session

Last week Julia, Rebecca and I went Strawberry picking.

Doesn't she look like she is having fun?

Yes we still have strawberries and it's the middle of September.

I thought Julia and I could make a few jars of Freezer Jam, but I didn't realize how many strawberries we had picked.

So we made a few jars of freezer jam and 30+ jars of cooked Jam. We have a plethora of strawberry jam! It's mighty tasty though!

Adventures with Grandma

As some of you know my Mom was out here for a few weeks. Well since she was here, I kind of slacked on the blogging thing, cause secretly she's my biggest fan, and since she was living with us and didn't have to share every detail with her. She got to share in evert detail with us here. But here are some pics of our adventures. Grandma went back to school shopping with us,

caught Becca's first steps,

went strawberry picking,

celebrate each others b-days,

and lots of other things.

It was so much fun to have her here. She is such a blessing in my life and all of ours. Love ya Mom!

Rebecca's First Birthday!!! Let the Circus Begin!

Shawn would say I went "over board", but I would say that "I had a ton of fun" with Rebecca's First Birthday! Decorations were great, Games were fun, Food Awesome, the Cake was absolutely AMAZING, and most importantly everyone including the Birthday Girl had a Blast! Decorations were simple, my Mom and I made over 50 pinwheels. My Mom even put some of them on sticks so we could zip-tie them to deck. She did a great job. We set up the Body Boppers, Ring Toss, Bowling, Goldfish Toss, Bean Bag Toss and the Bouncer. We had some talented Mom's and Grandma's Step in and Help with the Face Painting. I tried to get as many as I could over to the photo booth. We had Corn Dogs, pasta salad, Watermelon, Lemonade, Popcorn, Cupcakes, and my very talented Sister-in-Law Carissa made Rebecca's Cake! I could gush over this whole day. It was so nice to have our family and friends celebrate Rebecca's Birthday! Well enough of me gabbing, just look at the pics and get a feel for the kind of day we had!!!

Oh and here are a few videos of the Body Boppers in action. They are so much fun. I know we will use them again and again.

This is the Girls testing them out when we first got them!

I couldn't help myself, so here's Emily and I!

Here is Miss S and Miss I having fun!

and I'm pretty proud of Miss Em holding her own with Miss S
