The Sweet Moments.....

This morning Hallie was holding a picture frame that I have in my entrance way and she said, "Mom, mom, come here.  I want to show you where I am in this picture."  This picture is with my parents, all of my siblings and their families when Chase (who is now 12) was just a baby and 8 years prior to Hallie's birth.  I thought it was so cute, she pointed to the sky in the picture at a very specific spot and said, "I'm right here - hugging Jesus."

The Birthday Planner

Hallie is very excited for my birthday tomorrow.  I asked her what she wanted to do and she quickly replied, "Go to Bear Paw, then to Sonic for food and drinks for you and me and then to the Park to play!"  She told me we would pick the kids up from school and then for dinner she would take me to a restaurant.......McDonalds! and we would go INSIDE to eat! She held in her little hand, 9 pennies.  I can hardly wait!

Very Domestic!

Today I went over to Jeanna Hansen's with a few other ladies and made homemade wheat bread (including grinding the wheat into flour to make the bread) AND I learned how to use my pressure cooker that I recently bought from a garage sale and bottled pinto beans! In fact, I am just finishing up my second batch of canning before I head to bed! I am able to fit 7 quart jars in my pressure cooker at one time.  I bottled a total of 12 quarts today.  For dinner I used 2 quarts and made chili beans that we ate with my scrumptious homemade bread! It was a fun, rewarding day! Next, I want to learn how to bottle fresh roasted green chilies!!!
