This summer has been very busy and crazy. I had youth conference and camp. We went Heber for a weekend and we've done a few other things here and there. All the boys have summer birthdays the first was Joey's now he's 5 and knows it all!!! He started kindergarten last Monday. He loves school.
While I was gone to youth conference James and the kids and some other helpers picked all the plums from the tree. I was so glad that they did because we got alot of fruit for jam. Shea helped me this year and we canned about 20 jars of plum jam. We had fun!! Next time I'll remember to start taking pictures when we start....not at the2nd or 3rd step.
This is definitely a pose Shea did a great job stirring the jam and filling the jars. We've had alot of toast since we made the jam (just so we can use the jam) It is yummy!!
I'm so grateful for Relief Society and for women who know how to do things!! It is killing me because I don't remember the name of the sister who taught me how to make jam...there was a group of us who went to her house and we made all kinds of jam it was so fun!! and no we didn't can 400 jars of jam we just did alittle. I was excited that I didn't have to buy jars this year. I just bought the new lids and rewashed the ones I had.
Googler...Sister Googler was her name. She could grow anything and can anything. It was good to see that it was easy and didn't have to be overwhelming.

We made 2 batches. What a great day that was!! We will be doing it again next year!! Hopefully we can get to the apricots before the birds do!!!

This is a great update! I love that Shea loves to cook. She's an awesome helper. Looks like she did some great work on making the jam and I know her.. she'll definitely work extra hard to eat it too.
