This month we celebrated MY birthday!! For my birthday I received tickets to see Jimmy Wayne, Dierks Bentley, and Brad Paisely in concert. Aaron & I attend the concert this past weekend and were pleasantly surprised to find out we had EXCELLENT seats. The concert was held in an outdoor amphitheater and it was a packed house. Brad Paisley put on a good concert and it was a lot of fun!
I finished making the cross stitch birth announcement for Emily.
(I have made a different one for each of the kids.)
I finished just in time to enter it into the Utah State Fair. I didn't win anything this time but we had a good time taking the kids to the fair. Having a fair entry was good motivation to get it done.
This month has been a busy month for canning fruits. I received peaches and pears from neighbors and worked hard to get them preserved. I still have more pears waiting to ripen. We also picked up some fruit from the local farmers market. This year I made a peach/raspberry jam and it turned out so YUMMY!
Now that I canned all these jars - I needed a place to put them. We have a "cold storage" room in our basement. It's basically a small concrete room poured under our front porch with concrete walls. It's designed specifically for food storage keeping food dark and cool. I built a shelving unit that is 6 feet long by 18 inches deep. I was pleased with the results and am happy to have a place to place our emergency food storage.
Aaron was a good sport and took the kids to George Eccles Dinosaur Park one Saturday while I was canning. They had a good time exploring and enjoyed their day out with Dad.
Emily is almost 14 months old now and is cuter than ever! She knows a couple dozen words, a few signs, and can follow simple directions. She has 4 teeth and is so much fun! The silly girl loves to eat the cherry tomatoes out of the garden and loves being outside. Her hair is long enough to do some cute pigtails:

Great photo update! Still lovin' your short hair. Isn't it SO much easier to deal with? Mine is about that length now too! Looks like you've been keeping busy. Love all your canning! Did not get to it this season. Kids are growing quickly... So wonderful to see them all, even if it is just through photos. Hope all is well...
Happy Birfday sis! and Holy canning crazyness... what a good mormon mommy you are!
