CHANGES




I finally did it!! I should have taken a before picture, but I didn't think of it until after the old blinds were down. I had been wanting to do a change for awhile, because the blinds in the family room where old and broken. And try as I may to fix them and get a few more years out of them, it wasn't happening......... So when John was gone out of town, out with the old and in with the new!! It really does look alot better. I still have a few things to do to the new curtains, let the hem out, stitch the panels to gather, and steam them to get out all of the wrinkles......... But the change is good!!

FOOTBALL SEASON






It's that time of year again at our house, Friday night football games!! I love high school football games..... this year Jessie is on the varsity cheer squad, she has cheered all 4 years of high school. This year she is a captain on the varsity squad, she is front row, center position and she loves it!! Our first game was not on a friday night, but on a saturday night, because it was being televised on ESPN2. This was a very exciting game!! Jessie was on tv at least 4 times, and our team won!! We are off to a great season, so if you are looking for me on a friday night, you wont find me at home. I'll be at the high school football game, cheering on the players and the cheerleaders!!

Riding the Lite Rail and visiting the State Capital


During the summer Jacob and I, got to gather with Trevor and Alison Busch once a week for some summer adventures. We had lots of fun doing all kinds of fun things....... visiting the State Capital was alot of fun and educational!! We had our last summer adventure last week. We went to chick fila , and Cars in 3D. I'm going to miss our weekly adventures.

some pictures of the green beans that got canned, and apple sauce ready to be put in jars.

What We Have Been Doing......




Well, we have been busy around here this last week, Harvesting the garden and fruit trees. It was a family effort to get every thing on the list done. Here is a list of a few things we did~ Apple sauce, Apple pie filling, Pear sauce, Green beans, Salsa, tons of peaches sliced and frozen in the freezer, Zucchini bread and Banana muffins. And the house even got cleaned, laundry all done, including the ironing..........It sure feels good to have this all done!!
