2008 Canning Pictures

I am in the process of looking for some missing paperwork that they want for the home loan.  So I'm finally going through all these loose papers we just moved from West Richland over here to Kennewick.  And look what I found:  If you look at Oct 14, 2008--I posted all about canning with the cooks.  But here are the pictures.  We canned 144 Gallons of apple juice.  And as if that wasn't enough: we decided to turn around and can grape juice--263 quarts for a total of 641 bottles!!ober 14, 2008

 I have a sister-in-law, who I love dearly, but who won't can with us.  But look at these pictures: it was hard work, but we had a lot of fun.  I remember--still--Lorna at one point said "I was going to think..." Then she stopped and thought about what she had just said.  We couldn't help but giggle.  And believe it or not--we are still drinking apple juice and grape juice from this weekend.  Now for a while--it was hard to get to, so we didn't drink as much.  But we sure have enjoyed it.

The kids entertained themselves by making a car.  And although you don't see Grandma much out in the garage--she was helping.  She kept us all fed. And we were quite the group!!

The girls helped some--getting apples out of the back of the truck.  Can you believe how little they are in these pictures?  Man how they have grown!!

I remember at this time, we were trying to have Kaylyn.  I took a pregnancy test right before going out--and I was so sad.  It had come back negative.  It wasn't two more weeks before I found out--I was pregnant, it was just to early to find out that I was.  And now--I'm almost about to deliver out little boy.  Kaylyn has brought so much joy into our family!

Mother's Day--Laurel's farewell

 Mother's day started by filling out paper work for the loan for our house.  But I had time to do it, because we went to Burrup's ward at one instead of our ward.  It was fun to see all the Burrups and many Tingey cousins too. And Laurel did an amazing job.  We then went and skyped with Cyntha while mom opened her mother's day present from us.  It's called the quilt.

We also got her flowers and some foot lotion: Dot made the foot lotion!!  I rubbed her feet. :)

 While taking pictures--ofcorse Kaylyn had to have her picture taken.

 We then ran over to Grandma Tingey's house and had a family dinner!  It was fun to get to visit with everyone.  The kids liked jumping on the trampoline.  And the food was amazing too.

We put purple highlights in Kylee's hair--but it wasn't very dark, and it's all gone already.  Grandma Julie is very excited. Kylee was a little disappointed.

 We put blonde and red highlights in Dot's hair--they look amazing!!  It was fun doing it with Dot.

 We needed a picture of Karla--so she posed for one.  And her sisters had to jump in too!!

More Kylee: her trip to the pumpkin patch

These are from Kylee's teacher as well.  Kylee is spunky and walks to the beat of her own drum.  She is a tom boy and a princess all at the same time.  I wouldn't have thought it possible to put those two in the same body, until I saw it in Kylee.  She is the first one up the tree.  She climbs higher than anyone else, but she does it in the biggest dress I will let her get away with it in.  She is very active and loves to be outside.  She enjoys getting dirty--and then getting to change her clothes!!  She has her own sense of style and doesn't let anyone sway her.  She is smart and picks up on a lot very quickly.  It has been fun to watch her grow.  She is kind, but has to work at the friend thing harder than Karla does.  But she is an amazing big sister!!  And she is a good helper.  She loves to take off my compression socks for me and then rub my feet for a few minutes the way she seen me do for my mom.  We are so proud of Kylee Jasel!!

Kylee at her fun run

Kylee's teacher took these and share them with me.  Look at my big girl.  I think she is amazing!!
