Canning

So I thought that I would keep track of what I can this year, just for fun. Since I am finally done for the year (last year) I thought that I would post the results. I think I am missing some stuff but this shows the general idea and I figured I could used it next year to see what we eat and how much I should can.
So...

*Cherry Pie Filling - 5 Quarts
* Green Beans - 8 Pints
Whole Kernal Corn - 20 Pints
*Pizza Sauce - 14 Half Pints
Squash - 26 Pints
*Applesauce - 400 Quarts (I really didn't keep track of this one, but we have had so many apples this year, I did a lot of applesauce and fruit roll ups, my real guess would be 60 Quarts)
*Oriental Plum Sauce - 14 Pints
*Salsa - 5 Quarts
*Plums - 14 Pints

Sewing Again

When Steve is gone over night(usually scout camp), sometimes I can get some sewing done, plus I need some cute girl clothes. I know that I need pink and bows and all that goes with a little girl so I am trying to make some cute stuff now, while I still have some free time. From left to right: reversible dress (I am going to make some little bloomers to go with it that are also reversible and my thought is that the dress should be worn with one pattern out and the opposite pattern showing on the bloomers.), pink jammies, and another dress (This one I made out of Steveo's old shirt, the body of the dress is the sleeve of the shirt and the straps are the collar, then I just added the ribbon on the bottom to make it a bit cuter).

A Boy and His Toys

Like father, like son.

New Year's Day

Ridge got me a sled for Christmas so that I would be able to do some skiing this year, with him in tow of course. We went out for a trail run with Steveo to see if I would be able to do it without him. We all had a great time. It was so cold about 3 degrees but Ridge was so happy the whole time (unless of course we stopped skiing for a while) I think he just looks so cute in his little snowsuit.

Christmas

We spent some time in Island Park for Christmas. We were able to be with Adam and Kym and Grandma Bear. Ridge enjoyed opening presents this year. We watched a movie, ate some yummy food and even got out on the sleds to go riding. (Thanks grandma for babysitting.
