Saucin'!

I'm making a bunch of applesauce! I only had 3 quarts left in our food storage room. I asked a friend about getting some apples. She said she'd let me know if she finds out if theirs an orchard to glean since she has contacts to many apple farmers. 
Well she messaged me and said that her and her family were going to Othello to glean golden delicious apples and they would get me the six boxes I said I wanted! Wow! I didn't have to pick or pay for my apples. It was so kind of them. I feel so grateful that I'm able to process our own and build up our stock again. I was able to can 76 quarts!

Time in Arizona

Image
Night swims!  Laying out in the sun during the day!  I like coming to Arizona because the evenings it's still warm outside that we can be out playing and having a good time but not sweltering hot. The days are so hot but it's great to be out poolside and then dip in the pool to cool off.  Koda has picked his person between Marty and Diana. He likes to follow Diana when I'm not around. It's cute that she likes him too.  June 26th  Keeping up with our goal of going to the temple to do baptisms every month this year! Tyler has wanted to go to the Mesa temple since we came to the Easter Pageant. We made it happen this month. It was great that Christy dropped off Makaela so she could join us.  Every time we go someone comments on our boys. They're such good kids.  Handsome boys.  After the temple we went to spend the day at Darin and Christy's. Christy provided a yummy lunch and we enjoyed catching up with her and the girls. And spending time with thei...

Happy Father's Day Jaime

Image
Breakfast for Jaime. Banana pancakes, bacon, hash browns and OJ.  Aidan and Tyler wanted to make cookies with Jaime for Father's Day. I thought it was such a sweet gesture. Olivia was a bit bummed she couldn't be here for it as she feels it's been a thing for her and Jaime to make chocolate chip cookies together. I told her she's here in spirit. The kids all called Jaime to wish him a Happy Father's Day. We need to enjoy these last few years of having kids home for these smaller holidays. Before I know it we won't have any of them here for them.  P.S. Can't believe I didn't get a picture of Jaime with the boys!

Promptings

 I went to the temple today to do an endowment session with my Aunt Laurel who is visiting and staying at my parents for a few days. Mom and Dad were leading the session so it was fun for all four of us to be in there. It was a very full session of women. There were 31 women and 8 men! 39 of the 40 seats were full. I've been in sessions and lead sessions that had 42-46 people (folding chairs were brought in to accommodate after 40). But never have had this many sisters.  I used to have such anxiety going to the temple. So nervous about remembering what I was supposed to do and say. Being a temple worker definitely has helped ease that now that I know what to do and say more easily. It makes it so that I can focus on the words more and not stress about what's next. After I crossed into the Celestial room I had the overwhelming feeling of how happy I felt. The thought came to my mind, "Being prepared makes such a difference." I thought yes it does! I felt better prepare...
