Canning

This week we started canning! We have done it a little bit before but not very much and it didn't turn out very well.... So I suppose you could say this is really our first time doing it. We are very excited!

It is SO easy and Mom especially is very happy to have all of this food canned and ready to eat whenever we need a meal and don't have time to cook. (The red stuff is chili by the way.... it kind of looks like tomato sauce or something else in the picture.)

Meanwhile.....

Ummm... yes... while they were out gardening we were... What else? Baking! :D haha

Well our original plan was to make this really neat cupcake "picture". We found it in a cookbook and it looked really neat. You put a 18 (or 24.... something like that) cupcakes together and then you use frosting to make a very neat looking landscape.

Right........
When you have two little brothers who love to do everything you are doing, some things don't turn out the way you planned. :D Although it usually turns out to be more fun when you have little hands helping!

Mess makers... trouble makers... partners in crime....
We love our brothers!!!

Haha.... yep... the finished product....
At least they had FUN! :D

Fall weather!

The fall weather here is so nice! It's the perfect temperature right now... not too hot or cold. And there are so many fun fall activities! A few days ago we canned and froze a whole bunch of jars of applesauce. Messy, but fun! And it's so nice to have them all through the winter! Fall is one of our favorite times of the year...

Mom was trying to get some birthday pictures of us (since we're only 1-2 years behind on that), but we ended up with some other pictures, too!

Andi's hand got in this one. She was trying to get in the picture but wasn't fast enough! ☺

It's so pretty outside! I hope everyone enjoys this fall as much as we are!
