Catching up!

I keep saying I am going to keep more up to date blog and I always get behind :( Oh well it's really boring around our place anyway!

Our days have been pretty much just Jayme working and helping me bottle up the goods from our garden. I would have never guessed I would enjoy it so much and we have done allot! It about sunk us buying all the bottles and such, but at least its a one time deal or until we break some right? Some boring numbers for you are we bottled up 23 Quarts and 16 Pints of Green beans, 4 Pints of pickled beets ( plus his moms we helped with), 30 something quarts of peaches, 14 pints of peach puree, 14 quarts of pears and around 35 pints of diced tomatoes...Not bad for our first try at canning :) And we have a possibility of apples now.

Leta is finally feeling out so she doesn't look as scrawny, it is different to have her outgrowing her clothes width wise opposed to height! She has literally changed into a different person in just a month. Everyday she blurts out 1-3 new words and is getting better at making longer sentences. I need to find a way to video her talking and post it. My personal favorite is umbrella the way she blunders her way through is hysterical. Another bigger word is Donkey which she can say clearly, some animals get identified through the proper names such as donkey, dog, duck where others are identified through the sounds they make a meow, a honk honk ( that's pig), neigh neigh for horse you get the picture. She finally will call people by there names unfortunately for Uncle Adam she says it more like dum dum and Grandpa is clear where Grandma is more Maa ma her favorite is Daniel and if she don't know your name you have a good chance being called that :) One of my proudest moments as a mother was over conference weekend when on the way to town I was reading the latest addition of the Ensign when Leta asked to see Jesus so I turned to the right picture and handed it back. A few moments later I hear "Mom, Temple" and I turned to see her pointing out one of the Temples! I was so stoked as you can tell :)

Potty training is still a day to day or week to week adventure although she is getting consistently better about doing #2 on the potty, there is hope yet :)

Apparently the hunger for a new baby is contagious since all three of us our anxious to add to our little family, Leta is great with babies and loves to give them a blanket or help with there binkys or just play period. When her Cousin baby Emma comes to plays she is estatic and there a few babies in playgroup every week she loves on. And she constantly rocking and sushing her dolls, I find it amazing how there born with the instinct to care and nurture others and the mommy instinct shows so early!

Well once again the post turned out to be long and boring so sorry, at least there won't be a ton of pictures. Our camara died so we depend on his Dad's when we can borrow it.
