Jam, jam, and more jam. What's a girl not to love about that? I have a passion for canning and enjoy each step of the process immensely. So far this summer I've done rasberry, strawberry and cherry almond. Our peas and beans have been cleaned and frozen, and our corn is about to make its grand arrival. The rest of our garden produce we are hastily eating as it comes.
Home on the range. This is Will and Grant's favorite new movie. When I say favorite, it's gotten to the point where I wake up at night singing the songs out of the movie. Fortunately, they have a 1 movie a day limit and spend the rest of their time outdoors on the slip and slide or our little kiddie pool. They are soaking up every last drop of summer. Will is always by my side helping me with my every day chores. He has become a pro at weeding the flower patch and vaccumming the carpets. All his little brother is interested in is kissing. He smothers every one with great big open mouthed kisses. It's too cute.
Jeff has been running lately with work and school. Thankfully, they are building his new offices right here in Spanish Fork! Yee-haw! Not that the commute was that bad to begin with, but it will be nice to have him close. He has been a gem this summer helping his Grandparents at their place and serving everyone else he's able to. That one has a heart of gold.
So this weekend we take off to Lake Tahoe. We are thrilled! We have been looking forward to this trip for awhile. Jeff's family is headed up and have rooms at a lodge booked. I can't wait to tramp through the woods and see the beauty of Northern California. After that...
JORY COMES HOME!! We are a bit excited to have our little brother come back from El Salvador. He has been serving for 2 years and we can't wait to hug his neck. After his farewell, we head out to BrianHead. I've never been there but heard its gorgeous! My parents rented out a big cabin and we will just relax and let Jory fill us in on his 2 years away. After we get home, its back to another semester in school for Jeff...and onto my favorite time of year: Autumn. I will be sure to take lots of pictures and post them next month some time!! I hope everyone's summer's are going well. Love to all- Jeni

How fun are you guys!!!!! I was thinking about you today and wondering how you're doing? How's Jory doing? I bet it's soooo wonderful having him home! Are you still running? I've been getting into it the past few weeks...I did a trail run this morning with a couple other girls; it was so fun! Wish we lived closer! Are you running any 1/2 marathons anytime soon? A friend of mine who just moved to Riverton invited me to run with her on Halloween in that area. Still trying to see if we can make the trip...Dang economy! :) I'm going to try to run 2 in jan. and Feb. in AZ, maybe you could make a trip down and run with me?! Hope you're doing wonderful!
