Busy Weekend



My parents came over a couple weekends ago and the guys went to a tractor show in Southern Indiana. My mom and I spent the day canning tomatoes and chili sauce. We got 7 quarts of tomatoes and 12 1/2 pints of chili sauce. This is a "McKown Family Recipe" that I was very anxious to make for the first time. It turned out ok. A little too spicy for me but Adam said "that's it!". I'm going to give it another try and tweak the measurements my own way :)



Suprisingly enough, even after a good night of sleep, Kierstyn slept the entire day and just woke up to eat, so we were able to get a lot done. Well, didn't can too many tomatoes because they were CHERRY tomatoes, which took a heck of a lot of time to can, but hey, we got the job done.






I made stuffed shells, bread, and veggies for dinner, even an angel food cake that looked so yummy, but we were all so tired after dinner that we didn't even touch the cake!








Take a look at that pan, what a disaster (it was too small and the cake overflowed in the oven). It was such a mess that I decided to throw the pan away instead of cleaning it. Now that makes doing the dishes fun!

Who's the baby?!



We decided to set up the play center for Kiki, so that she had something new to look at. We don't use it much yet since she only lasts about 5 minutes then cries, but Sophie sure thought it was quite swell! We had to give her the boot and tell her it was for sister only :)

2 Months Old



This is Kierstyn's 2 month snap. Our internet has been down for a few days so this is delayed, but I wanted to get it posted anyways! She got 4 vaccinations the next day and only cried for a minute...good baby!
