What a HAM!!!!!

Darrell and I enjoyed the amazingly beautiful afternoon we had today out in the sandbox while little man was in the house crashed on my bed coughing his lungs up. Poor guy! I did find childrens Nyquil!!!! He should sleep great tonight!!! ha ha ha

I am still trying to figure out how he does this one!!!

This kiddo is such a ham bone!!! He will do anything for a laugh. He shot me all of these faces in like two seconds then dug a hole sat in it and made a sand diaper! I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU DARRELL!!!

Mmm GOOD!!!!

I felt quite productive this last Saturday. Joseph and my good friend Janell and I canned over thirty jars of jams, syrup, and pie filling! Thirty nine jars to be exact of blueberry, blackberry and strawberry deliciousness!!!! I have half a bag of strawberries left to do but I ran out of sugar so I will get the last seven to fourteen jars done probably this weekend while Joe is splitting wood with the elders quorum. It all turned out absolutely amazing and the feeling of accomplishment was just as great! I LOVE TO CAN!!!

Simply beautiful!!!

I had never tasted blueberry Jam before,
I am so sad I have missed out on its awesomeness for so long!

Stake Conference

We had the most amazing and humbling stake conference this last weekend! We were graced with the presence of Elder David A. Bednar! What an amazing man!!! He had a way about telling you what you should be doing very bluntly without making you feel like he was belittling you if you weren't doing what you should and he still kept the spirit in his message. I can say without a doubt in my mind that he is an apostle of the lord and was sent to my little ol' town to put me straight and make me think about how deep my roots are in the gospel and to remind me that just having a testimony is not enough anymore. It is essential but not enough, I have to sink my roots down and LIVE the gospel. I was so grateful to him for coming and enriching and edifying mine and my family's lives. He was a true spokesman for our Heavenly Father.
