Canning Days

Yesterday I did 7 quarts salsa, 7 quarts tomatoes, and the day before 7 quarts of peaches. It was lots of hard work, and having to buy the food made it almost not worth it, but nothing really beats home canned peaches. The salsa turned out pretty good too. Paul couldn't stop eating it. Whew, I survived.

It's rainy today. I saw a skunk on my run yesterday, and this morning lighting and thunder made it exciting. Always stuff going on. Paul's about to start school. One more week of summer.

Cute Kids, Hard to get a Picture

One of my neighbors did a photo shoot with me, but we had tough luck. The kids wouldn't smile, and we barely got these pictures.

Mini Triathalon

My friends and I just did a mini triathalon. They did a 250 m swim, 12 mile bike and then a 5k, but I only did the swim, 9 miles of the biking, and 2 miles of the 5k. It was still way fun and I felt great. Hopefully I'll be able to keep running and biking until I get too big. I hope to post a picture of it if I can.

Shayden quote of the day

I'm tired. My body needs vegetables.

Trisa and Bear Lake

Trisa and Jared came up to Logan for a Bear Lake trip. We spent all day at the beach and had a blast. There's never a dull moment when those guys are around. My kids were laughing a lot, and getting lots of good attention. Holly and Karri took care of them while we went to the temple, and then Alisa was able to play on the beach with us. Way fun!

Baby Girl

The ultrasound we had Monday showed a healthy little girl at 20 weeks and 2 days. That puts my due date on Christmas Day.

She had her feet crossed, and was curled up in a ball with her hands by her face. She was moving around a lot and even saluted the camera.

We're struggling with names, so any suggestions would help. Paul really likes Ashlin, but I'm not convinced in that yet.
