Yummy food and Preparation for the Burps

Fresh fruit is the best. We have been so lucky to have peach, nectorine, apricots, plums and pear trees. They have just barely gotten to the point where we can eat them. Josh and I love just going outside and eating as much fruit as we want. I plan on fruit canning next weekend. We also grew 2 cherry trees and another nectorine and peach tree this year. Fruit is the absolute best directly from the tree. They taste so much better then the ones from the grocery store. Well, yesterday my dear mother in law taught me how to can pickles. It was the easiest and fastest canning I have ever done. Plus, it's good I learned her recipe, because Josh loves, loves her pickles. They taste so different than others I have tasted, and I am the next to say that they are the best I have ever tasted too.SO hopefully they end up tasting the same. Thanks mom for the invite and I love that we can just hang out,just the 2 of us. I spent all last night sewing. I will be the first to admit that I am not very good at it and that last night I was getting mad at the machine, but I am learning. I made 12 different birp cloths for baby James. They turned out pretty good, considering that I am an amiture. I like to sew, I just need more experience- so I guess practice will one day make perfect. I finally finished the blanket that I gave to Josh for Father's day, some time ago. It was partly a celebration that we were having a little guy, hence the BYU. So I made daddy a big cougar blanket that me, him and baby James can all snuggle up in during the cold October, November games of next year(since James will arrive this year near the last few games, and daddy is not taking the baby in the cold when he is not even 1 month old). Along with the blanket, came a few Cougar burp cloths- cause daddy's gotta be in style too. I am actually really excited for Josh and James to start on sports in the future, it is such a guy thing that bonds fathers and sons together.
