Catch Up!

I know that I haven't posted in a while so I will play catch up in this post! Our family has been busy with weddings and all the stuff that involve it. Kyle (part of the Womack/Monson gang) got married on the 22nd of August.





Kyle and his new bride( my new sister-in-law) Tamara! They are a great couple and we are so excited for them.

Th Womacks have a huge Willow Tree outside of their house. When we were little we would swing on the branches! Megan and I introduced our children to the sport! Funny how our moms gushed at the cuteness when it used to bring screams of distress!
Peter absolutely loved this! He kept saying that he wanted to be Peter Pan! He was so cute about it! He was always making sure that Andrew got his fair share of swings! He is such a great big brother!
Anthony had to get into the action as well! It took a while to find a branch that was strong enough to hold his weight but he eventually was swinging like Tarzan! My husband is such a great sport! He kept pushing the kids and taking care of them so that I could have time with my family! I just love this guy!

We had some of friends over a couple of weeks ago that we hadn't seen in about two years! It was awesome to get together and compare kids and to remember good times! Jake and Anthony went to high school together and have hilarious stories about those days! It was a lot of fun to be together!
Sophie and Peter together! They are about four months apart! Peter loved having someone his age hanging out! He even thanked Heavenly Father that night for his friend Sophie, who's a girl! That's how he put it!

This is Kennon! Isn't he so cute! He loved the stairs and all the exploring that they allowed him!


Peter had his first fishing experience a couple of weeks ago! He caught his first fish and he just loved it! He talked about for about a week! The whole thing bad that happened was that our camera feel in the pond! I was so upset! I wanted to cry but didn't because I knew that Anthony felt really bad about it! So we talked about it and I got a new camera out of it! YES! And then the next day after buying it, our water logged camera began to work! So I got new one and Anthony gets the old one! I love how it worked out!

So we have had a very productive garden so far! This is me canning the last of our fourteen quarts of pickles! All the cucumbers came out of our garden! I was so surprised to get so many and it was a really cool experience to can them! I felt so homemak-ey and it made me feel like I accomplished something awesome!

The finished product! I was very surprised when I opened a bottle and they actually tasted good! I just used the pickling mix that you can get in the canning section of the store! They have been so yummy and it makes me feel so good to open them and eat them!

Carrots and onions from our garden! Anthony and I spent three hours cutting, peeling, blanching, and freezing all these carrots to only get 12 servings or about six bags! We were so discouraged! Carrots are so not worth the effort! I have enjoyed the onions and be able to freeze them as well!
