Now I Feel Like Fall is here

I spent today making Apple Butter and Apple Sauce with my mother today. She picked apples from her tree and I picked Apples from ours and we were off the peeling coring slicing (thank goodness for the handy all-in-one tool that does it all. Then we began to cook , blend,and bottle I now have some to share and Apple Sauce for my little Brayden when he can start eating that kind of stuff that is truely organic,

It was fun Wade was down at the barn building our new closet for the area just inside the door to replace the LEANING TOWER of pizza fabric closet we have been using for the past 4 years to hold our jackets. The new and improved model will hold much more and wil not lean. Wade is amazing and talented to beable to build us a new one. We are really working on getting ourselves more organized.

I hope this Fall season brings health and Happiness for all my Family and Friends......

February 2009 Guerrero Negro Baja Trip

Here we are at the ever Famous Papa Fernandez's Campo really great food it is 68 miles from the house in Campo San Pedro on mostly dirt road see the road behind the sign. We enjoyed the ride and the food was really great at Papa Fernandez Wade & I ate up the sea food all we could.

This is front of the Hotel we stayed at in Guerrero Negro it was really nice good place to eat next door a great restaurant 1 block up the street.

This is how close our 22' Panga Boat got to the whales we went out in Scammon's Lagoon I almost got to touch the whale but my arm wasn't long enough.

This was right next to our boat they call it a spy whale they raise up enough so they can see whats going on and often they would then swin up to the boat.

Here we are all suited up for boat safety it was a trip we will always remember and we may even do it again we really have to learn spanish. Once again Baja has given us a vacation to treasure and we were blessed to be there with family and friends.

New Church Calling

okay so I have a new calling at church.... talk about a shocker but it feels right i love the fact that I am living in such a way to be able to have confirmation that something is just right.

I will be teaching a Sunday School class once a month to adults the class is
"Strengthening The Family" the curriculum is based on the family proclamation from the church. I love the information it will be a class where people are asked to participate or who ask to participate not sure how that all works but the bishopric will ensure the right people are there i just know that through the prayer and research it will allow work out
