Our Garden & Farm

 

Joshua's pumpkins....ripened in late June. They were volunteers from the compost pile.

 

 

So Daddy & Joshua made pumpkin puree.

Making tomato sauce!

Grandma Linda's recipe!

 

We were please with all the produce the farm and garden produced.

 

Helping at the farm!

Tower of canning jars!



 

Rather than having a tower of jars (mainly of tomato based products) we bought a cabinet to put all of the garden goodies in. 

Daddy had a good helper putting cabinets together.

We ended up having to get 2 cabinets because one couldn't hold all that we canned!
We had a tally going of all that we had canned, but between eating it and canning more I seem to have lost count.
Really looking forward to eating this through the winter!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Summer fun!

Nothing says summer like playing in the pool or sprinkler! As hot as it's been, we've needed them to cool off!

 

Watch me mom! I'm swimming!

Seth & Aaron came to Grandma and Grandpa's house while Joshua was there. The boys were glad to see each other!

Showing the boys his big bed at Grandma Dana & Grandpa Bruce's house.

Watching Grandpa Bruce get his hair cut. This blue bench is just my size!

Mom, I'm trying to work. Stop "picturing" me!

Auntie's phone can I help you?

Ready for church. Loves his outfit from Great Grandma Bar Bar!

Playing at Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Pershing's house after church. Grandma fixed a wonderful lunch for us too!

Just a boy and his dog...

Bye Daddy!

Ride 'em cowboy!

Grandpa Bruce had a serious foot surgery earlier in the summer. He was off work several weeks, had to keep his foot elevated, wear a cast boot and use a walker. Joshua dropped a pair of pliers on his foot at the shop. There was a SMALL cut on the top of his foot. Immediately after hurting his foot, Joshua said he needed a boot like Grandpa. He wore only one sock (like gpa) and elevated his foot too. Silly boy!  

Playing at the shop

Joshua is growing so fast!
(This is his official growth chart from the back of the cooler at the shop. Classy, right?)

Visiting Great Grandma Bar Bar at Rehab - Grandma Dana took JCS for a ride...

...and then Joshua took Grandma Dana for a ride too!

I'm trying to read, Mommy. Please don't "urrpt" me!

Lunch with Grandma Bar Bar and Auntie at Grandma's Rehab. Grandma had a knee replacement surgery this summer.

Watch out, Mom! Here I come!

Tricycle from the Dwell family! He LOVES it!

Having dinner out before we go work at the "farm"

Daddy and I used all my blocks and it "no" fall down!

Off to Dave's house...

Baby Anna is just about ready to walk on her own!

So cute!

Dave's daddy was grilling so the boys were doing a little grilling of their own!

Dinner time!

He rode to and from Dave's house and loved every minuet of it. I see a lot of bike rides in our future!

LOVE this picture ~ on of the rare times I think he looks like Mommy!

He was sure doing his best to explain something to me...

Best buddies!
