Haircut

Aunt Alesa cut Garrett's hair awhile ago. Here are pictures from the big event. Actually his hair grows so fast we have to cut it often. We've found the key is a sucker and a tractor fruit snack after the event. I have to admit I love his long hair as seen on my last post but when the back gets long enough to put in a pony tail it's time for a haircut.

What a cute little boy!

Skater Boy

I just had to post this cute picture of my little skater boy. Look at those wings! We had just gone to a baptism before going to pick our pumpkins out at Albertsons which explains his super cute church outfit. (Thanks Grandma Brenda) When we go to Rexburg we have to do as much as we can in one day!Oh I hope our little girls have as much hair as Garrett does.

Canning

On top of all the raspberries my wonderful mother in law taught me how to can. Using apples from her apple trees we canned over 60 jars of applesauce and apple pie filling, and I don't have a single picture to show for it. It was a lot of work and a lot of mess but so much fun and a good skill to learn. We also we lucky enough to get pears from Merissa's trees in Utah and canned 24 jars of pears! Yum Yum!

The finished product! Well most of it.

Raspberries!!!!!!

Well now that summer is officially over and the snow is falling I thought I'd recap on some of our summer activities. Garrett and I and occasionally Grant picked gallons and gallons of raspberries from my mother in law's raspberry patch. At the beginning of the year Garrett was such a good helper although he usually ate faster than I could pick. Eventually he got bored of picking raspberries and would watch the tractors in the fields behind. So what did we do with all the raspberries you ask? Well I've made a couple batches of raspberry jam, frozen gallons for future use and made special deliveries to my family in Boise. We love raspberries!
Ummm!
Sneaking a few from Mom's bucket
Thanks Aunt Alesa for taking the pictures. Of all those days picking raspberries you would think I would have taken pictures once.
