Wed.-Sat.

This has been a busy week and our last official week of summer. I can't believe that school starts tomorrow!

Anyways on Wednesday night Landon took the kids and I up to my parents house to spend a few days while we had the chance. The kids were excited to get there. Grandma Tawnia taught Tanner how to make hats while we were there and he took right to it. It was so cute to see him knitting away. He finished his whole hat in about a day. He said that since his summer job(mowing Great Grandma's lawn) was almost over he was going to need a winter job so he guessed he could make hats and sell them. So if any of you need a custom winter hat for the kiddos just give Tanner a call I'm sure he'll make you a good deal. FYI they really do look good.
On Thursday we went on a little drive to Red Creek Reservoir by Cedar City. The lake is really pretty and out of the way so there was hardly anyone there, but it was so dang cold and windy we only stayed about an hour before we left. We did catch a couple of HUGE (JK) fish though.
On Friday I went up to a wedding with my parents and Grandma. The kids stayed in Fillmore-Chloe stayed and played with Saydee, and Tanner went to Grandpa and Grandma Ellison's. Him and Grandpa had a little party for Grandma since it was her birthday-complete with dinner at Larry's and a Birthday Cake next time you see Tanner ask him about the Birthday candles and Grandpa. hahaSaturday we picked a bunch of peaches at Ken's house. While we picked the kids dined on fresh blackberries.YUM Then we decided it would be just as easy to bottle the peaches in Fillmore as it would be to take them home and do it, so we set up a canning line at Brad's house and bottled up 29 jars. The kids enjoyed just being able to run around and play outside with their cousins while we did this. The boys had sword fights and Grandpa took the three little ones hunting for deer-with fake guns of course. It was a long but good day. Landon picked us up in Cedar later that night and brought us home.

Let me guess did the candles involve a blow torch? I'll order up a couple of those hats for Laney and Dustin. Be sure to let us know how the first day of school goes.

I could hardly move the next day but at least it's over. I can't wait to pick blackberries in a few days.
