Our summer has been a long one this year. So much time spending with the family in Idaho.
Lets see, what all have we done.... Kimberly has learned to ride her bike. She is pretty fast. I have had to tell her to slow down because she has a problem stopping and tends to slam into things. I would love to see how she does on the ice... hehehe=).
The kids and I are missing Cassey. They miss their daddy. Kim has had a hard time with him gone. Because of it, I have emotional moments. Collin has missed daddy here and there. But he isn't old enough to understand. But luckily, we get to talk on the web cam with daddy for as much as we can. Kim and Collin have daddy dolls with recorded voices so they can hear daddy's voice whenever they want. We were the first to receive the recorded dolls. We felt lucky and the kids just love them. We sing to the kids, "Bushel and a Peck" and they love it. We have been singing that song to them since Kim was a baby. It's a comforting song for them. So that is what daddy recorded on their dolls.
Today I canned some jam. Its peach jam. I had some peaches that needed to get used before they went bad. It was actually my first time canning them alone. I was afraid it wouldn't work out, because normally it helps to have a friend or someone else there to help. But It wasn't that bad. I will take a photo of it some time and post it on here. I want to get better at posting things that I cook in my kitchen. Because I love to cook and show what I have done. Mostly because I learn how to cook, sew and clean on my own. I don't have anyone to show me because I don't live near my family and I don't know a whole lot of people here in Utah to show me. This summer has been really long. But fun. We went camping with the Killian family. We did some four wheeling. That is pretty much all we do up there and just hang out with the family. This year didn't seem all that exciting as last year because Grandma Killian wasn't there. We had some family that wasn't able to make it because of family struggles and other personal things but overall it was fun to be there. The kids love to four wheel and go hiking and fish. Especially with their grandparents and aunts and uncles. Which helps them while daddy is gone. Well I will post more later when I get the chance. I will take photos of the peach jam I made. I was so glad it turned out because I was afraid that the lids wouldn't press and stay closed. But they did. I was so proud of my accomplishment. Thanks for reading. Please stop by again.
