Here are a few pictures of what I canned this summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Do4DzRiyRis/UmjKOEQBTzI/AAAAAAAAS40/CjUA5G341bY/s1600/IMG_8863+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Do4DzRiyRis/UmjKOEQBTzI/AAAAAAAAS40/CjUA5G341bY/s640/IMG_8863+(2).jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was the first time I've ever canned peaches & they were a lot of work, but they are oh so good!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yz7uVuL3dJ0/UmjJ8lS9feI/AAAAAAAAS4c/9IsNVPC-k4w/s1600/IMG_8825+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yz7uVuL3dJ0/UmjJ8lS9feI/AAAAAAAAS4c/9IsNVPC-k4w/s640/IMG_8825+(2).jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what I made with the peach skins--Peach Honey. Here is the link to this awesome<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/159596380518207648/" target="_blank"> recipe by Gertrude Buchanan</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XQASztAhcWA/UmjKJorEudI/AAAAAAAAS4s/ZFSLUD7elWQ/s1600/IMG_8856+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XQASztAhcWA/UmjKJorEudI/AAAAAAAAS4s/ZFSLUD7elWQ/s640/IMG_8856+(2).jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was also the first time I canned pears & after all the peaches I canned, it was nice to have help from Matthew and the kids. It sure went a lot faster with help.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F3QOTiRwRHQ/Um3gbW_kKCI/AAAAAAAAS7g/Pv4sXoUJfeA/s1600/IMG_8821.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F3QOTiRwRHQ/Um3gbW_kKCI/AAAAAAAAS7g/Pv4sXoUJfeA/s640/IMG_8821.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept the skins from the pears as well and made yummy pear honey using the same recipe as the peach honey. All I can say about all this honey is yum, yum, yum! It's divine on toasted honey whole wheat bread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xbi8hrkKYBE/UmjKPmWsuOI/AAAAAAAAS44/2Hre-tDjhuA/s1600/IMG_8885+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xbi8hrkKYBE/UmjKPmWsuOI/AAAAAAAAS44/2Hre-tDjhuA/s640/IMG_8885+(2).jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the first year I grew pickling cucumbers & my plant took forever to grow cucumbers, so I only got 3 jars of dill pickles. I think Matthew is waiting to open them because he knows he only has 3 jars & he'd probably eat an entire jar at one sitting. :) </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ALQPlb6QX2k/UmjKCmOqj-I/AAAAAAAAS4k/DcSakkT1_rc/s1600/IMG_8835+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ALQPlb6QX2k/UmjKCmOqj-I/AAAAAAAAS4k/DcSakkT1_rc/s640/IMG_8835+(2).jpg" width="404" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have raspberry bushes that provide lots and lots of raspberries, so I was able to make enough jelly to get us through the entire year & I still have a little raspberry juice in the freezer.</div>

Carlie and I went trick or treating with the family for about two blocks then we went home. My hands were just too cold. It was sprinkling the entire time we were out, but luckily Carlie was in a jogger stroller, nice and warm with her blankets. Her siblings were nice enough to share candy with her.</div>

Well, Carlie was having fun until it was time to take a picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She didn't carve anything, but she had a great time drawing on paper and touching pumpkin guck.</div>

The pumpkin on the left we decided to carve on it's side because it would stand up. It worked out perfectly to use the stem as a nose. Ethan and I carved this pumpkin. The pumpkin on the right Kalin designed & carved all by herself. It's a cute pirate pumpkin.</div>

Matthew and I went shooting together in Aug. when the kids were in school. We decided to throw clay pigeons with a hand thrower. Well, let's just say that Matthew ended up throwing them himself because all I could seem to do was throw them at him or not at all. That is one talent that I don't have--throwing clay pigeons. To top that off, I got this lovely burn when one of the 9mm shells popped up and got stuck into the side of my sunglasses & burned my face. Lovely. So much for eye protection. It may not seem like we had a great time shooting, but we actually had a lot of fun, laughing and all.</div>

I couldn't get her to stand still and my phone camera does not take great pictures, so you can just imagine that the pigtail looks the same on the other side of her head. ;)</div>

Ethan loves sunflowers, so for the last two years we've grown them in the backyard where our yard is still waiting for some landscaping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year they grew even taller then last year, but unfortunately they couldn't handle the strong winds where we live and many of them were knocked over or broken in half.</div>

Our little Carlie turned one & we had a little family party for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's crazy that an entire year has already gone by. I tried to take pictures every month so we could see her growth difference, but I missed a few months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are so blessed to have Carlie in our lives!</div>
