Here and There

I thought September would be the month that things slowed down, but I should have known better. It has been SO crazy, but we've had lots of fun!

Tytyn trying out my flip flops.

Last Saturday we went and gather wood. We went with 2 other families and all helped each other. It was nice to have more manpower to get it all done faster. We have 2 wood burning stoves in our house and are going to use them this winter instead of our central heat.

I've been canning a ton! Salsa, peaches, peach filling, pears, pear sauce, applesauce and apple filling. And today I made a 5 loaves of bread to keep in the freezer and another batch of strawberry banana freezer jam (the best ever!) There's something about fall time that gets me all ready to get my family prepared for the winter.

This is Tytyn and his best buddy Draker. They were hanging out while me and his mom and another friend were having a craft day.

This is the fall wreath that I made for our front door! I'm excited how it turned out, I'd never made a wreath before, it was so much fun!


I don't think I've ever mentioned anything about our great friends that live here now. Tyrel helped him get a job out where he is working and so they moved up here a month or two after we did. The funny thing is they were born and raised and have always lived in Blackfoot. Tyrel knew them a little, but I had never met either of them. So when they came out to interview for the job they came over for dinner and me and (Laressa) became instant besties! Its so nice to have someone here to hang out with alot. She has 2 adorable kids, a girl and a boy and is pregnant with a girl! I really haven't had a whole lot of good close friends in the past few years and its so nice to be making good friends here that we can hang out with often and make good memories with. Hope everyone is doing well! Happy Harvest everyone!!!
