This season is full. Full of sad times, busy times and some great memories made. One thing I truly enjoy is to cook. It is in my blood. My Mawmaw is an amazing cook who then taught my mom who inspired me to cook. All three of us...well I should say four because my sister is amazing too....cook different in many ways but the same in others. It is just the joy of creating. For me I find so much joy in finding new tastes and beautiful dishes. I also find joy in old fashioned cookin. This one all started when we had moved to Indianapolis. It was the first time ever I didn't have a job. I was 7 months pregnant in a new town/state and didn't know anyone. As many of you know I rarely can sit still. I need to be productive.....and this came to mind. Why not create delicious jellies and jams.. Not only is it super cost effective. It is a fun gift to give and a great way to make healthier options for my kiddos. So...can away. Here is this summers first bunch...and I am sure there will be...
This year we were blessed to go to Disney World and stay at the Animal Kingdom resort because Aaron had earned the trip by recruiting employees for the company last year...he was in the top 15 recruiters and we took the trip with our best friends,(and his old mgr from Billings) Anthony and Kylene Eckart and their beautiful daughter Annelise, who's 5 months! So enjoy the photos...we took a ton! It was absolutely great and chaotic too...we were glad we didn't pay for it because it's just not a place for little kids...but Malachi did enjoy it...he probably would've had as much fun just playing in the resort pool and looking at the animals outside our balcony! So for entertainment while we waited for our second flight who couldn't resist a good leg massage at Brookstone??? Of course Malachi!! Then right as we arrived this was right outside our balcony...yeh...no kidding!! Here we start our journey into trying to get Malachi to take photos...ha ha ha So Malachi and I ve...
Wheewww! What a CHRISTmas we have had. I know many of you all know about our surpise gift of delivering Caleb almost 9 weeks early on Dec. 22. But I also know that there are many details we just have been too overwhelmed with this to share. So here goes. This journey has been amazing. It is as if the Lord just said "I want to show you more of me. More of why so many things and people are in your lives. Remember...I am the one writing this story and I have always had something greater than you know planned." No kidding! The minute that the doctor said I was dialated to 6 we looked at each other and a flood of crying came...and came...and came. And then thru the tears Aaron's first words were..."Do you like Caleb Anthony?" Yep, we had not fully decided on his name and this was our top pic for a while we just couldn't hammer it down. Absolutely is his name= "COURAGEOUS". When the time came for the last few hours of real hard contractions this time, i...
