*Pillow Talk*

Joey's sister who we lived with last Fall had another beautiful little girl a couple weeks ago, so we went to visit and to see the new addition. While we were there I help the baby most of the time. There were lots of people there and so I tried to get Joey to hold her before we left. He informed me in hushed tones...

Joey:
"I don't like holding other peoples new little babies. I might break them"

Me:
"So what, you're never going to hold our babies when we have them??"

Joey:
"No, I'll hold our babies, I can break ours, I can just make a new one..."

Wow... That's my husband for you. I had to double check and make sure he wasn't serious. Haha.

*Fun With The Girls*

Can I just mention how much I love watching my nieces during the week.  A couple of weeks ago we went to the park, because it was such a gorgeous fall day, to check out the ducks and have a picnic with Grape Mike and Ike's as the main course :)

 Ryleigh & I
 She didn't want to show her mouth because it's "full of goopy candy" 
I'm not pregnant, I promise it's just my hoodie
Ry & Trista(love the hip)
I love this one of her. She's adorable

*Tomatoes+Jars=Delicious Canned Tomato Soup*


I just want to throw out a big "THANKS" to Michelle for teaching me how to can the other day. I'm LOVIN' it. And everything we've canned so far is so yummy! She had a huge cardboard box full of tomatoes that we turned into pizza sauce & delicious homemade tomato soup. She showed me all the gadgets, recipes and jars I need to use to help the canning go by easier. This is going to be a blast.
We are going to can:
- Homemade Salsa
- Homemade Jalapeno Jelly
- Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
- Homemade Pepper Relish
- Homemade Apple Sauce
- Homemade Apple Pie Filling


I also want to can on my own:
- Pickled Green Beans

*Thankful Thursdays: Walt Disney*


I'm thankful today for good Disney movies. Since I've been watching Michelle & Ryan's girl's while they are at work I have been watching a lot of movies because they LOVE to watch movies and sometimes the same movie over and over and over again. And I just have to say they have a great variety of Disney movies! I remember watching them when I was little and I want my kids to watch them instead of the sketchy cartoons they have on TV now days!
Here's a few of my FAVORITE Disney flicks....
