fun weekend

So my parents watched our kids from friday at 4pm to sunday 6 pm and it was great we relaxed and did nothing that we usualy do.We ate and sleep and drove on the coast, i didn;t even take pictures because....it was too much work for me! Where we were, there was a hot air balloon festival and that was very cool! other than that i just read in the morning(i never get to do that!) and it was great , thanks mom and dad!

Hilarious....

Tonya my friend posted this on facebook and i just thought it was hilarious!what do you think?

Canning my tomatoes.

Ok i said i would can my tomatoes and i did!My awsome mom taugh me the safe and proper way of canning tomatoes and about everything else!I inherited her pressure cooker a 23 quarts!

So after sterilizing just about everything(if you know my mom you know what i mean) we blanch the tomatoes, shock them and peel them,

Now they are in the mason jars in that big sucker!Ist 30 years old and i love it, i don't want a new one, i wanted that one!Since i am the only one in my family that cares about learning to do all kind of stuff to better myself as a homemaker she said i could have it!I love learning this stuff!I want to be the best homemaker i can be!I want to show this model to my children, i think its important for them to see their mother doing this for her family, i am not sure why i feel so strong about it but i do and i usually follows what my heart tells me!It is so rare now out days that you see someone cooking from scratch, so much that its an event when someone does notice...You usually hear people saying oh yes ...she made it from scratch..... that cracks me up because before that was obvious.. that they made their own stuff.My goal is not too show off or to come off like if i am prideful, i just want to do it because i want too ,as simple as that,My mother did it and i am talking about becoming a good homemaker here in case you got lost in all my jargon... and my grandmother did it and i want too!It makes me proud of myself!There is nothing like a day where i clean,cook,and play/work with my kiddos!I was born to do this and i love it!

here is cooling off that pressure cooker.. you don't want to open this while there is still pressure otherwise you would ge a hack of a facial with no face left at the end:)

And here is the beautiful product!they will last 3 years being yummy in there,,, 3 for sure because we had some of my moms that were that old!Thank you mami for teaching me!

Santa barbara and Solvang trip

So here we are in Solvang a little danish town and we stop and got some ice cream(expensive ice cream..that suck!but it tasted good!)

solvang lokks like that ,

And you came buy a horse ride around town,

Now that mami sliding down for natalia and on tha picture we are in Santa batbara.

And this was fun, we got to ride our bike a long the coast for 2 hours !biking on the beach is great and the kids love it!

Medieval times

So while my parents are spending time with us, we decided to take them to medieval times and to have a good time!The food was surprisigly good and my children loved the show,especially my boy.

My parents had never been to a dinner theater/show so they really enjoyed the experienced.On the above picture there is Christian showing his hard muscle(the elbow:) next to one of the guard.HE really hought ha it was awsome.

It was so amazibg to watch his face looking at the performance, he was so intense, you know how sometimes musiciens are when they really get to feel the music?like their bodies make some movements that shows that they feel the music?i hope you get what i am saying,.Christian was just like that,everytime a knight would fall out of their horses or get back up he would scream from his core and every sound coming out of his mouth was so sincere and intense.The fact hat our red knight won just made it even better, the last battle was the best when our knight was almost dead he got back up and used all of his strentgh and courage to defy the evil thats when i heard a shout of joy!Christian had both arms all flexed with a smile that reflected pur joy,And that was all worth it to me!

My daddy and me!He really liked it!

a good family time! too bad our family picture is so horrible!
