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.

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.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
