Our Garden

We expanded our garden this year (I know it's nothing compared to yours, Dad) and it is really starting to grow.  It has been kind of tempermental this year.  I had to dig up a section of corn and replant it because it wouldn't grow. And then I have found that beets and carrots are wimpy weak little seeds, so who knows if they will survive.  Curse you vegetables!!  But, all is well, I spotted a corn sprout yesterday.  We have planted peas, potatoes, zuchinni, cucumbers, tomatoes, asparagus, carrots, beets, corn, beans, peppers, and jalepenos.  Yum!

Here are some pictures of the treadmill in all it's glory


Treadmill

This last weekend we got a treadmill.  I am so super excited.  I am planning to train for a 5K run.  I haven't signed up for one yet, but I hear that there is a website that posts all the runs in Utah, so if any of you know what the address is I would love to find it.

Birthday Girls!

Ashly and Melanie both had birthdays last week, so my mom treated them to Ross. Melanie couldn't come, so she got a gift card and Ashly made a pretty good haul after trying on a million different things.  That poor guy working at the dressing room didn't know what hit him!


















This purple shirt was her favorite. Happy Birthday Girls!!


This last weekend I went down and made strawberry jam with my mom and sister.  We had a lot of fun and made a TON of jam.


It was pretty easy to be honest, it just took a little while.  You start by cutting the strawberries and then you puree them.  Then you add sugar, pectin, lemon juice, and corn syrup (not necessarily in that order), and stir it until your arm hurts!
