Canning Craziness!!!

I have been canning like crazy lately. So far I have frozen 54 bags of sweet corn, mandarin sauce, marinara sauce, beets, 50 jars of peaches, salsa, hamburger dill pickles, peach jam and tomatoes. My mom sent her water bath canner out with Spencer when they moved and I have definitely gotten some use out of it. It is nice to look in my cupboards and know that all of that fresh food came out of my garden. It just takes so much time. The last thing I am going to do is apple pie filling which is so yummy.

Fun With Cousins

David has gotten to spend the night two times and we have loved it. The kids rode horses and played and had a great time. We are so glad Spencer and Jamie are back in town. Hopefully, you other boys will get out here soon.

Caldwell Night Rodeo

We have been going to the Caldwell Night Rodeo for a couple years now. We get tickets through Farm Credit. I always really enjoy going. It seems like it always a little chaotic with the kids, but fun.My little cowboy and cowgirls.

I though this picture of Emma was so cute!!

Roaring Springs

Jared and the kids and I went to Roaring Springs water park twice this year. The kids always have so much fun. I always forget to get out my camera. I got a couple at the end of the day. Taiylor and Trenton are getting to be good swimmers.

24th of July Rodeo

We went to the annual 24th church rodeo this year. Em and Layne's kids got to go with us also. Emma did the stick horse race. Trent was signed up to ride a sheep but he decided at the last minute that it wasn't for him. All the kids got to do the chicken chase, and pig chase. Cousin Zachary was very disappointed that he didn't win the pig or chicken.

Lake Fun

We have gone up to Lake Owyhee and Black Canyon quite a few times to go boating. The kids love it. They all love to jump off the boat in the water. We have had a lot of fun family time together. Taiylor got up on the wakeboard a few times. I am so proud of her. She did really good, unfortunately I didn't get a picture. Jared and I both did a lot of wakeboarding also. Jared is getting better, I don't know about myself though.
