Jam

-
I am starting to feel like a pioneer woman. Really I wanted some strawberry freezer jam because I absolutely love that stuff. I told a couple friends about making jam a couple years ago and it turned into a weekly canning session for the last three weeks. We canned strawberry freezer jam, peach freezer jam, gape cooked jam, and pickles.
We are official caners baby! Kevin's mom provided the fresh peaches off of her tree which were so good. Angelee provided the cucumbers from and friends garden and pure grape juice made by a friend, and we bought the fresh strawberries from farmers market here in Oroville. It was actually pretty cool to figure out together how to make the stuff. At one point we all thought of what our mothers used to do and were able to figure out how to seal the jars. And yes the pickles did finally seal today, was a little worried about that one.
Thanks Rae and Angelee for motivating me into canning.

What an adventure trying to get everyone ready for the day before 7:45 am. It was an exciting morning in our house. Everyone was so excited for Olivia and Madalyn to experience going to Preschool. Jaydn loves to be silly for the camera. Here is Madalyn finishing her break feast and very excited to go to her first day of school. Olivia can not contain her giggles she is very gitty . Jaydn tells them all the time that preschool is so fun. This is Ella smiling for the camera. One of my very favorite faces of the many she does. Olivia, Jaydn , and Madalyn Here is Madalyn hugging Olivia. Man they are so big and cute. Little did we know that we were really an hour early.
