Salsa

This is the beginning of our first salsa canning experience.


Jimmy did and awesome job helping chop all the ingredients.



All the tomatos and oninons were fresh from our garden.




This is right before we started to cook the salsa. It's so yummy just to eat it this way.

Our finished product. We thought it was pretty good for our first try. I think next time we'll change the recipe up a little and make it a little spicier.

Holden is 6 months old today.

It's been so long..........i never seem to up date as much as i should. Jimmy, Hunter, Holden and i had a great summer. We just got home last week from a two week work/vacation trip to Oregon and Washington. We had so much fun. Hunter loves going to see his great grandparents and getting to roam free at their house. Holden was a joy on the trip. He is such a happy baby. I love it!! Hunter got pneumonia the last three days of our trip and Holden and i both returned home with colds. All is good now, but its never any fun when the kiddos are sick. We are now trying to get our life back on track. Summer is coming down to an end and our fall schedule is nearing. I hope everyone enjoyed their summer.

Just a few new pictures. This summer has been so much fun. We've made a couple trips to Idaho and also had Jimmys sister and neices come from washington. Hunter and Holden have enjoyed being around lots and lots of family. On the 14th of August we are leaving for two weeks in beautiful oregon.

HOLDEN IS 4 MONTHS OLD

Holden loves oatmeal

I can't believe how fast these last four months have gone by. Holden is growing so fast. Holden started out weighing 6 lbs 15oz and was 20 1/2 inches long, he now weighs 17 lbs and is 26 1/2 inches long. Hunter has finally excepted the fact that Holden is staying with us and that we can not take him back to the hospital. Hunter is enjoying his brother more and more everyday. Holden has brought so much joy to our family. I can't remember my life without him in it.

We had a great 4th of July this year. Last year was a little crazy with the move and all, but this year was totally relaxing. We started our day with the Kalispell 4th of July parade. Hunter and Holden loved it. Fire trucks, airplanes, horses, and candy Hunter was in heaven. After the parade we enjoyed a nice bbq with some of Jimmys softball buddies. Hunter and Holden didn't want to stay up for the fireworks so they went to bed and Jimmy and i enjoyed seeing a few fireworks from our porch. It was a great day.
