Bailey Bear


Bailey and I were invited to go to the Zoo today with some of our friends and guess what we found...

BEARS!!! (daddy's favorite!)


You can't see the black bear very well in this picture, but the little white bear in my arms is sure cute!

Halloween


This year I decided to make Bailey's and Jared's costumes. Jared is a monkey and Bailey is his banana!

(Jared's costume is technically a Bear, and many people confused him for one, but his long tail is supposed to make it more monkey-like)

Before I was able to finish the costumes we went to a CADA (a club for dental student spouses) Halloween party with some of our friends.


(us of course)


The Perkins(Olivia, Jeron, Abby, and little baby Violet is pretty well hidden in the sling on her mom)


The Arnall's (Brandy, Jesse, and Seth)


The Flinstones, I mean the VanYperen's (Tucker, Amy, and Jill)


Canning


We decided to make apple sauce and grape jelly with the fruit that we picked.  We hadn't made either before, but we never let that stop us.

 My job was alot of work! I had so many apples to peel and slice for the sauce. We'd picked about 5 different types of apples so our sauce is definitely one of a kind.

Jared had his work cut out for him too. He had to peel half of the grapes for the jam recipe... lets just say it took a while.

In the end our work paid off! We have some amaizing jam and applesauce
(pictured above is only the jam!)
