Canning and a Growing Baby

So I know I haven't posted in a long time. Things have been really busy with work, my calling, working out (yes, I've been running 4 - 5 nights per week), and keeping up with Tyler. So I have quite a backup of Tyler pictures.





I also recently purchased a pressure canner/pressure cooker. The thing is so big (27 quarts) it barely fits on our stove under our microwave! This week Erik pressure cooked the best chili colorado on earth and we canned the leftovers. Then Amy Felt dropped off some great pears and I canned those all by myself! Then since I was in the food storage mood, I made a ton of wheat bread to freeze (though so far I've done a good job thawing it out and eating it).



Our basement is getting way organized with pasta, beans, flour, rice, soup mixes and now jars of various canned items. I'm excited that were are doing what the prophet asks and preparing ourselves. I even purchased a 55 gallon drum for water storage! Good times.

Very impressive my friend. That bread looks divine and Erik's chili really was the best ever! Tyler is growing way to fast.

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.
