no canning is not my favorite thing.... but seeing my kids help with it and seeing the end result is actually one of my favorite things. It was nice to have another year of enough apricots to bottle.

Easton helping take skins off the tomatoes the finished product.... I love seeing Jars full of produce we have put up ourselves!!! Also made 8 cups of strawberry freezer Jam. Yumm!!
How wonderful that you are teaching your kids to can. What a great thing to do as a family and you get to enjoy the "fruits of your labor" when you eat it.
I have been married to My awesome and amazing husband Jared for 12 years!! We have 5 children 1 girl and 4 boys. 1 dog,(he belongs to Jared) a lab named buster he's nearly 8 yrs old (or what's that in dog years... 56?! shouldn't he be moved out already? ha ha J/K Jared) I have the great blessing of staying home with my children... unbelievable how fast the years fly by... so I'm trying each day to count my blessing and come what may and love it!
Loves to go hiking and being outdoors. Of course he loves growing all his flowers, he keeps the yard full of color and beautiful. Loves to play with his kids and spend time as a family!
Jace
is 3 already. it's just Jace and mom for 3 hours everyday, while the kids are at school. He loves to play games, have books read to him, and is nearly always "hun-gee" (hungry), and screams if he doesn't get to say every prayer that is said at our home. He's such a big boy, he loves to play lego's with his brother's, but still loves his big baby. His favorite show is "Max and Ruby"
Kaden
is 5 and his daddy is his bestest friend!! He loves to play transformers and lego's with his big brothers and loves to play XBox with Daddy! He is super smart, but says in his mean little clouse voice that he doesn't want to be smart, cause he doesn't want to go to school!... He likes to play with Jace while the kids are at school, but often times they just fight!
Kyler
is 7, he's in 2nd grade and once again his teacher just loves him!! he loves math this year. He loves to play video games any chance he can get! he enjoys playing lego's and transformers with his brothers, riding his bike and catching bugs! He loves hanging out with his daddy.
Easton
is 9. He is very creative and loves to build and draw super heros and animals! He loves building things in the backyard and playing with the gecko, he and Kyler are inseprable! He really likes to make everyone laugh! and is really good at cleaning his room that he shares with 2 brothers!. He loves cub scouts, except that I'm his leader and we have it at our house.
Brianne
is 11. She loves to read, write stories, draw and paint. She plays the piano and the violin, and is in the school choir. She is back on the principals list this year. It's still tough to be a big sister to so many little brothers, but she is getting better at it! She really loves being with her girl cousins.

Good thing all those neighborhood kids left your fruit alone this year!
One day that's so going to be me! I don't know when, but someday!
