This is what my mom and I canned, 23 pints of beets, I loooooooooovvvvvveeee beets, and 13 pints of tomatoes.
My parents have a wood burning stove and my dad has cut wood his whole life, it is getting harder and harder for him to get it, but he still loves to go out and cut is every year, he also really loves good help. While we canned, my dad, brother and Marty went and cut two loads of wood. They were gone all day and were very tired and dirty when they got back. Marty had fun, but he was pretty sore the next day. You can see why, those pieces of wood are huge.
Tyson playing peek-a-boo. Grandma and Granddad have the best toys to ride on, this little pedal tractor is a favorite and Tyson loved it when it was his turn.
Dylan spent alot of the weekend trying to catch baby bunnies. He would just climb right in the hutches with the rabbits and catch a baby, there are only like 17 babies. He came home with some pretty good scratched on his face, arms and hands. I was never with him when he did it, so I didn't get a pic. He was holding one of the bunnies on Sunday, he says to me, "I take this one home." He looks over at the mom and says,"Sorry mommy." He looks down at the baby and says, "Sorry baby." We had a good laugh.
We went to visit my parents last weekend. My baby sister turned 24, that's impossible because I'm 24. We saw her sweet baby Collin, such a cute kid, little skinny for a 5 month old, well not really, my kids were just huge at that age. Who knows where the camera was, so I didn't get any pics, next time.
My parents garden is huge, they have enjoyed all of the delicious veggies and so have all the neighbors and have of Flagstaff. My dad says that giving it away is half of the fun.
My mom and I canned beets and tomatoes all day on Saturday. I grew up canning with my mom, she does an amazing job. Here are a few pics from the weekend.
