Canning on Labor Day

We have a ton of carrots, onions and potatoes in our garden this year, so I borrowed Aunt Kay's pressure canner and made "End of Summer Soup". I was a little nervous about using a pressure canner by myself for the first time, so I went over in the morning and had mom watch and help to make sure I was doing it right. It ended up not being as stressful as I thought it would be! It was actually fun. I am going to invest in one now, so that next year I can do all of our food from the garden. I also have made jam and done green beans in the last week or so as well. I hope that it will save us some money and time in the long run! Thanks for letting me borrow the pressure canner and thanks for all of the help Mom and Aunt Kay!

Our Kids

Our Kids
These are our two kids. Bailey is our yellow lab and we got her on the 21st of Feburary. She's so smart and full of energy. Then our newest edition is Rugar our little black lab. We just got him on the 26th of April. He's definately more out spoken then Bailey is and doesn't let her push him around. That's all the kid's were going to have for now.
