Just Peachy!!!!





Where did summer go? With kids and grandkids coming and going, new babies being born and Russell's projects taking over, it seems like it just sort of passed by. I haven't even had time to blog. So here goes. It seems like the only time I get to myself is midnight or later. I know its my own fault. What happened to that lady that used to be so organized?


Anyway, Susan Netto brought peaches up from St. George so I bought three boxes and canned them all. well almost all of them. We ate a lot of them as we canned them. They were so sweet and juicy. Anyway, I spent the whole day canning them, and I really enjoyed doing them. There is a lot of self satisfaction in preserving your own food and building your food storage. Mine has really suffered and it's time to get back on track. Anyway I bought two more boxes and am going to make some Jam. (Requested by Lynette). Then I am going to make some raspberry jam. When I went downstairs to get the peaches I found little holes in all the ones by the handle holes in the boxes. I couldn't figure out where those holes came from, until I saw Lance putting his fingers in the holes while they were on the counter when I brought the peaches upstairs. We found the culprit. What a busy little guy.

Lance Quentin Shelley, what have you done?

When Lance woke up from his nap he was awful quiet, then he started getting a little fussy so Rachel went in to check on him. I could hear her saying stuff like: " Oh Lance what have you done?", " Oh mom I am so sorry" and "you are in so much trouble Lance". I couldn't even imagine what was going on. I figured he had taken off a dirty diaper and was fingerpainting on everything. I know my mind wanders sometimes! Anyway, I went to check it out and this is what I found. I guess it was my fault for putting the crib so close to the wall. When I saw It, I said Lance Quentin Shelley, what did you do? He turned around and threw himself face down in the crib and just sobbed. It was so stinking cute. I couldn't help but love him better. Grandkids make big softies out of us.

REMEMBER WHEN...

Anyone who wants to play... This is Fun!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember--it can be funny, weird, awkward, random, etc.!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you

Summer fun!!!







It seems like summer just got here and now it is almost over. Kids will be going back to school pretty soon. Moms are hurrying to get school clothes for the kids and one last vacation or reunion to top it all off. Summer is my very favorite time of the year. I can't get enough of the sun, or all the kids coming and going to visit.



I have been able to swim in my pool a little. Two days ago I got in and it was 90 degrees. It was awesome. Russell took some pics of me. You would think that he would try to get some that could be a little flattering, but I only got fattering ones. Oh well, if the shoe fits. Best of all I am going to share them with you. They say laughing is good for the soul.

Old McDonald had a "freakin Barn"







We are still working on the "little shed" that looks like a barn. Russell has worked really hard on it, but it takes him a while we are old you know! Rodney has come out to help (Thanks Rod) and so did Charlie. We really miss having kids around to help with the big projects. It sucks having to ask for help. I am excited to get it finished so I can clean out the garage. It is disgusting! We can barely park the car in it.



The shed will match the house. I'm so lucky that I have this do it yourself hubby. He is slow, but quite the perfectionist. And I don't tell him thanks enough. I'm too busy cussing him, for making little sheds into big barns. Thanks honey!
