Strawberry Jam!!!

I went to a cooking class the some ladies at the church put on. This month was Jams and Jellies. I was asked to make bread for the class. We had so much fun, so I thought I'd try it on my own. I bought a flat of strawberries and got started. I asked my dad to help seems how he's made it before. Of course my little Savannah Mae had to help me make it. We had so much fun. It was so easy!! A flat made 3 batches of jam.

Trying to figure out what to do.
Cooking away!

It turned out!!

MMMM so good!!

Cub Scout Hike

While I was on my walk. Bryan took Jr on his hike with his Cub Scouts. They had so much fun. Bryan wants to start hiking with the kids. Jr stayed in front of the Pack the whole time. He didn't complain once. Boy was he tired when he got home. Here are some of the pictures Bryan took along the hike.

March for Babies!!

On March 16, 2009 I got to participate in my very first walk for March of Dimes. This charity is something really close to my heart. My little Isaiah was born at 28 weeks and 4 day. He fought hard to stay with us. He had 6 surgeries by the time he was 2. I'm walking every year from this point on! Every baby should get the chance to be born healthy. One day that will happen and I will be able to say that I helped make it possible. Here is a little slide show. Hope you enjoy it!!

Science Center

On Saturday Jr went to the Science Center in Orange County with his Cub Scouts. Boy did we have a lot of fun. I ended up draging Bryan out of there. He's still bugging me on when we are going back.

Good thing we weren't far from home. Bryan's coworker came and got us. Our crazy tow truck driver!! Eric you're the best!!

This is what my van left on the freeway!!

And we finally got home. Guess what's wrong with it??? Needs a new TRANSMISSION!!!

My Projects

As you all my know I'm into taking pictures. Lately I've been taking a lot and editing them. I am trying to get it to where I can make a little money from them. I have a few friends that want me to take their kids photos and family photos. Taking pictures has always been a hobby of mine. Here are a few that I have done recently. Hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think. Thanks so much!

Planting with G. Grandma

When we were leaving the zoo they gave us some bookmarks. When I looked at them I realized that you were supposed to plant them. We were going to Bryan's grandparents house for dinner Saturday night. The kids couldn't wait to get there. They wanted to planet their bookmarks! Bryan's grandma has a little garden in her backyard. Every time the kids see anything to do with gardening they think of grandma. So after dinner grandma took the kids outside and let them planet their bookmarks. What a great end to a great day!!

Grandma, Jr, and Isaiah
