a new roof

so we had to put a new roof on do to damage and we had water leaking into our house.  the insurance covered it thank goodness but when it came to finding someone to do it we were a no go.  i called a few contracters.  some did not even call me back and the others said we are not taking anymore work.  so we had to do it.. let me tell u it was not fun.  but we had some wonderful people from the ward come help us.  and now its done.  well all but the shingles that are in my drive way..

seeing family

 so this past weekend i was able to go with my grandma to go to my sisters baby blessing.  it was so fun to see a few of my siblings and also my parents.  tiff and her family are so cute and it was fun to hold my little niece.

and yes after all the canning was done i cut my hair.  this isnt the best pic but here it is...

duck call

so night one of coreys friends came over and hung out.  he had just been duck hunting and had his call with him.. this is what happened with that.  it was pretty funny..

life latley

 so this had been life lately.  lots of rain and it got cold really fast.  plus it made me pull up the last of my garden and get things done at my house and at my parents.  with all that done it was finish up the canning which meant apples.

 i had the kids help me and we turned it into a game.  i did a batch of apple butter and 21 quarts of apple pie filling.  after all that i cleaned my kitchen at 11 pm that night but now i have to learn how to make pie crusts..

so last night the boys and i went and "gleenned" for potoates

 well all i know is that u go to a fresh harvested field and u go the end of the rows and get all the ones that the farmer could not get becasue he had to turn early so u get those ones.  i have never ever done it before but the boys had a blast.

 we ended up with proabaly with about 150 lbs of fresh from the field potatoes.  all i have to say is yummy and it was free...wahoo

def going to do it again next year..

so after emmett had left the living room and we were trying to find out where he was this is where we found him.. it turned into to this little game.  we thought it was funny too.  enjoy.....A-

so what do u do when u start with this.  well 1st u put baby down for a nap

then u ask for help from your 3 year old

and then you end up with these.  arnt they pretty..
