Brooke and Ashlyn's Virtual Photo Album
July - October, 2011
Me and the girls finally got to make strawberry jam! We canned it also and it turned out great. It was a lot of mashing and the kids were shocked that 7 cups of sugar actually go in 9 jars of jam. It was a bit nerve racking for me because I have never canned anything and was sure I was going to blow up the kitchen, but thanks to step by step instructions from Pioneer Woman (she has a great website of everything) it came out perfect. We are going to do pickles next before the kids start back to school. It is actually fun to do and I’m looking forward to doing it again.

waiting for the bus
Brooke went off to 4-H summer camp for a whole week. I took her to the Ag center to meet the bus at 8:30 in the morning and she wouldn't be back till 4pm Friday. She was so excited to get away from us crazy people! Ashlyn was really bummed that she was not old enough to go but we did some fun things that week, going to the movies, the beach, and Ashlyn had a riding lesson like Brooke gets every week.

Ashlyn had her first riding lesson. She did so good! Brooke normally takes a lesson every week to work on her jumping but she was at camp so we put Ashlyn in her place. Tony said she wouldn't last 5 minutes but she made it an hour and a half. It was the first time she got to ride in the arena by herself and she was so proud of herself. She got to do balancing games, do patterns and go over ground poles. She did a very good job. Willow was such a trooper. I love that pony! Bridie, the instructor, has named her super pony. Everyone just loves Willow. If every little girl could have a willow pony, it would be a perfect world!
