POTATO FRENZY!!

Saturday the Owen girls decided we would try and be a little domestic. Emily had bought some potatoes from Grace, ID so we thought we would try and can them. How hard could it be right? We started bright and early!
First, Lucy and I had to run to the pan sale at the school. They have really fabulous knifes.
Since Lucy stole my potato peeler, (she lies and says she didn't)
we both got a really nice, new potato peeler. They had a lot of cool things but we needed to get back.
At home we were trying to figure out what would be the best way to cut up the potatoes.
Well they had these fabulous apple slicers at the pan sale, so back in the car we go!
Finally we started. It took us all day. Peeling, cutting, cooking, and then the pressure cooking.
Just when we thought we were finished, the propane ran out.
It was a long day but I love hanging out with the Owen girls.
I learned so much. It was a lot of work but I love the way all those bottles look in our pantry. In the end we had 150 bottles. That is awesome.
(P.S. Kevin bought a really cool cake decorating kit at the pan sale. I know kind of funny but he does such a good job, so let us know if you need him to show off his skills.)

WE LOVE EDWARD!!

Wow! Its been a long time since I have posted anything. Would you believe that I have been busy? Ha Ha, I didn't think so! Anyway, so much has been going on. I have a job!! YEAH. Now I'm starting to wonder what I was thinking! I haven't worked yet but the anticipation is killing me. We use to always joke about being a "Fake Nurse" but now I'm starting to worry if I will do ok. I will let you know.
Anyway...What a fabulous weekend. We have been waiting for so long for the Twilight movie to come out. We ordered our tickets forever ago. We had so much fun. When the movie started I was thinking there is no way I can love this Edward. He was really creeping me out. But by the end of the movie, my love for Edward was back. What can I say, I love vampires.
