Alvin, Theodore & Little Simon (without his glasses)

How bout that acorn bling!

Hope your Halloween was as fun as ours was. My ward Halloween Soup cook-off turned out wonderfully - we had close to 250 people attend - YOWZERS!! Paige won the soup cook-off with a Salmon & Wild Rice Soup that really was prize worthy! Great idea Aunt Ter!

Love you guys!

My Life - In Pictures - for you MOM

Life has been so busy lately. So now I will bore some of you and thoroughly excite my mother.

Can you say Daddy daughter party - Western style! YEEHAW!

Remember when we went as nerds with our Dad?

Excuse me but life doesn't get any better than this! Am I right?

FHE fun! Creating a Halloween cookie house. Yes it was eaten up before it was completed. I do NOT like black frosting for my children to consume!

Last Wednesday I had a teacher appreciation day at our house for the kids teachers - past and present. 7 of them to be exact - we've had some of the teachers twice. LUCKY us! I made Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup which is not complete without Mom's homeade noodles.

Here's the table I set for the teachers. It was so fun to treat them to a yummy lunch. I so much appreciate them.

I have been canning like a crazy person for 4 months and that is not an exageration. I also tried my hand at dehydrating.

Here we have raisans. They were delicious!

Nice sideways picture of my Not so Sun Dried Tomatoes. Also for yummy!

Remember the days when mom would can grape juice. This brought back the memories.

Thanks to Karen for all the beautiful grapes.

I have made every kind of Salsa you could dream up. Pineapple, Hot, Mild, Medium. I still have to do my green salsa this week. Not pictured are the Peaches & Pears.

Can you say Lycopene?

I pickled some of these , froze some , but most of them made it into the salsa.

Picture retakes? I think so.

We totally enjoyed conference - with our 30 plus Webkinz at our side.

We started our new conference tradition of making homeade doughnuts. I heard they were yummy!

He was excited about them.

Somebody got a haircut and suddenly looked like a little man. OHHHHH! stop growing my little man.

That same somebody had a birthday! 2 years old. HE LOVES TRUCKS!!!

I made him a monster truck cake and it fell and was ruined in my opinion. Jared said it looked exactly the way it should - messed up. Thanks babe!! It was a smores cake - complete with chocolate and marshmellow frosting on the inside and coverd in dirt/graham cracker crumbs. I heard it was yummy!

So, yes we are alive and yes we are happy and yes we still L.O.V.E. YOU!

Smooches, JEN
