Smiles

Two of my cute boys entertaining themselves on a Sunday afternoon...

Bowling with the boys

Our stake had a mother and son bowling day so Marcia and I took our boys.

Eli almost won the game, he was ahead the whole time!


Joseph and Abram


Eli was really cute.


This picture shows Jarom and Cameron too.


We couldn't all fit on one lane so Erin Oliphant was nice to let Isaac and Ammon join them.


Joseph did really well too.

It was a fun afternoon.

Apricots, apricots, apricots

We got some apricots from my sister-in-law this year and I made some jam.


One of my favorite sounds is the sound of the lids popping as they seal. :)


This was my first batch. Later I got some more apricots from my mother-in-law and made some more jam! I also froze some apricots to use in smoothies and blended up the last of them to make chewy juice.


I also made this fresh apricot crumble but it was too tart and nobody really liked it. :(

Finishing the basement

We are finally ready to do it...to finish our basement! We are expecting in October and need the space so we hired a company and they are doing a great job!

This was after the lumber was all done.




This was after insulation.
