What would we do without moms?

This is always such a busy time of year for my Mom. She grows a wonderful garden, then does TONS of home canning! I remember always helping mom when we were younger during canning season. Since we have been married, Tobin and I have also done a garden. We have loved having fresh food and being able to do some canning too! I just want to say THANK YOU to my Mom who has helped me to learn so many valuable things. Our pantry and freezer are stocked full of yummy stuff. Here is what we have done this year....

Pepper Jelly

Jalapeños

Salsa

Spaghetti sauce

Pears

Peaches

Apple pie filling

Applesauce

Applebutter

We have also dried some pears (one of my favorite) and froze beans, carrots, corn, strawberry jam, raspberry jam and strawberries!! After all the hard work, I realize it is SO worth the time and effort. I know what we are eating is from your own garden and not all the processed crap! We will be so glad to have all of this food, especially when we have a little one to feed too.

THANKS MOM!! YOU ARE THE BEST!

Gettin bigger!

This is not that exciting of a post, but just a few belly pictures. None of them are very good ones, but its all I have. I will update more about the "baby stuff" when I have time..... someday. I feel like I am getting pretty darn big. Some people tell me I don't even look pregnant (I think that has to do with what I am wearing at the time) And some people who are pregnant and due around the same time seem WAY smaller.... Just goes to show how different everyone is!
