So, lets see here; we got a new puppy and her names is "Avery" and yes we now have FOUR women in this house and two men ( that would be Chris and our Guinea Pig "Spike")! We all love her so much its nuts. Now, if only she would stop using my house for the bathroom it would be great but we will be patient as she is ONLY 9 weeks old! Oh I probably should also include her breed huh? Well she is something of a mix which includes American Bulldog. What mother couldn't love that face??
We have also made our FIRST batch of homemade jam. The back story on this is I had been thinking about doing it for awhile and kept putting it off AND if you know my daughter AT ALL you know she LOVES her PB&J sandwiches and wouldn't ya know we ran out of jam. Lucky her me, I had some frozen berries in my freezer so I threw those in a pot, turned on the heat to med-high and brought them to a boil. Then I threw in a bit of sugar so sweeten the pot and some tapioca to thicken it; which I just might leave out next time. Anyhow and there ya go its a BIG winner at my house and I think I may just freeze some next time I make it so that I'll have it on hand.
At the same time we needed the jam I also needed something for my little one to snack on in her highchair while I was making meals or just to munch on. So I took a page from my friend Carey's book and made homemade crackers and added some cinnamon and sugar just for the heck of it and they were yummy added to that homemade jam! Alyssa, my five year old asks for them too!We have spent A LOT of time in our newly fenced backyard lately and one of those times we ran into a HOBO of all things sleeping in our yard..Funny thing is she looked an awful lot like my daughter!
Michaela wasn't very sure about what was going on with that or how her sister had suddenly turned into a hobo,
but she loves her anyway!
Speaking of our wonderful backyard; which my wonderful husband (I apparently am loving the word wonderful!) spent his weekend fencing in so we wouldn't loose Avery..Not to mention our children! We have pictures of our wonderful garden! We have had a bit of a tough time getting everything to come up and apparently we are just not meant to have garden fresh green beans this year, but I think we just might of a few things to enjoy, if Avery will stop walking on my fresh transplants! 
Since these were taken I have also added fresh basil, corn, cucumber starts and seeds; I had 5 cucumber starts but SOMETHING keeps coming by at night and eating the leaves, jalapenos, bell peppers, red onions, and more lettuce. Hopefully the weather will work with us so we can start EATING some of the yummy things we are growing?!?!
