So, there's not much going on here. We have just been up to life as usual. The kids are enjoying school and their friends there. They come home and tell me all of their friends names and what they did that day!!! They are really growing up so fast. Aden still asks me on an almost daily basis when he gets to go to school with his brothers. I keep telling him "in August". It cannot come soon enough for him. We are really enjoying being around so much family. And every day I am grateful to have such wonderful parents and siblings!! They truly are the best.
I went to the church dry pack cannery yesterday. It was my second time. It is a really great experience. No one complains or stands around waiting for someone else to do the work. Everyone just pitches in and gets it done. It is actually fun. I am working on getting our food storage built up. I am also trying to think of recipes that I will be able to make out of the stuff I am canning. What's the use of having a food storage if you can't create a meal?? So, next on my list to can is: baby carrots, peas, corn, potatoes and beef. I want to be able to make stew. But, it is better if you can all of the ingredients separate (because they all pressure at different pounds). So, that's what I will be tackling next.
The never-ending to do list...
clean out and organize basement, so I can finally retrieve my stuff from storage
paint (there are some scary colors going on down there)
start canning again
start working out again!!
Time to get started!!! Wish me luck!

and when you are done with that, you can tackle MY basement! It's a real delight!!
We need to have a play date over here where we can just chill and let kids go wild!
Good Luck! I need to learn how to can someday. And soon! My food storage is totally slacking.
Wow Jade! I am impressed! I never thought you would get into canning! I'm glad that you guys are getting settled and having lots of fun in Mesa! Good luck with food storage, and when you come up with some good recipes you should post them and help the rest of us out!
GOOD LUCK! You need to teach me to be a food storage person. Give me some recipes...
Good Luck!!!! My road has been paved with good intentions this month (year so far) and I NEVER have enough time! I wish I were superwoman or there were two of me... I will come help you Wednesday!!!! :)
Good for you! I'm so impressed with all you girls and everything you're bottling! You go girl!
Look at you - the domestic goddess!! I am reall impressed with your canning, I've been trying to get the courage up to face the cannery,but haven't made it yet!!
Veggies, here we come. Soon I hope. I am slacking for the last 3 days, don't want to take my nightgown off to get dressed. If I could just get the guilt out of my head, I think catatonic would be looking good. I better get up and do something today. Good thing you are motivated so I can be inspired.
dont you just love those list that go on forever and EVER? My list is at a stand still and has been for about a month.
your so good at canning, i want to learn so bad, i think it would be so fun. i think when i get a house ill try to get it done. GOod job!
Oh, food storage. I really need to get on it. One of my goals this year. It just feels so overwhelming so I avoid it. You are motivating me to do it, though. The pics from your dunes trip are so cool! I like the one of everyone on their quads at the top of the hill. Good luck with your list!
Ha! Nesting. U R so funny! What happened Thursday? I called...got no answer.
Jadeso how are you at finishing basements...ours needs some attention...lol! I am so very jealous at the canning talents, green with envy I tell you!
Hey Jade, I am so out of the loop, I didn't even know that you guys moved back to the valley. Dawn told me when I saw her a couple of weeks ago. Sounds like you are keeping busy. I love canning, I need to get busy also. Keep in touch.
