Strawberry Jam

Dad planted strawberry plants about two or three years ago. They have produced a few strawberries here and there. There was just enough for three pints of jam last year. But this year was different. They produced tons. I made eight pints of jam with only strawberries from our patch. It took me most of the day but it was fun..

All the strawberries we got in two pickings!! 

My Recipe 

Washing them all was a chore. They were rather small so it took me a while.

I started smashing them up with a fork but it was taking me forever to get them all smashed. So I switched to hands. 

When I finished, I looked like I had committed a crime.....

The recipe book that my family has used forever.

Tada!!! Its as tasty as it looks!! 

The Graduate

Emily Graduated from UNO from getting her masters in Library Science.I am so proud of her. It was hard not to cheer for her every time I saw her on her graduation day.
Emily has inspired me to do great things. I have always looked up to her. Seeing her walk across the stage and receive her much deserved diploma, I was bursting with pride. Walking with her around the campus, I was bursting with pride. Typing this post out and I'm still bursting with pride. She worked hard and has been greatly reward. I remember when she stared collage classes. She was still at home and spent an awful lot of time on her laptop. At the time I was a little to young to know what she was doing.  I remember when she was a sub at West Point. Waking up without her in the house was always hard. When she got her bachelors I was proud but I still didn't really understand. When she stared for her Masters, she would always tell me she was busy with school. I could finally relate. She was faithful with her school and worked hard. She was a straight A student! When she finally graduated I was inspired by her hard work and dedication.
Emily, You are one of my biggest inspiration. Thank you for dedicating so many years of your life to me. Raising me and teaching me about Jesus, hard work, and dedication. You always were and example of a godly woman, and you still are. I love writing you letters and reading your pages of wisdom that you send back to me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and teaching me so much. Thank you for being you!!!

I love you Emily!!!! 

A Very Over Due Typical Tuesday Post

So I haven't made a typical Tuesday post in a long time. I am sorry but I have just been to busy. Today was rainy and I spent most of my day in the house cleaning my room. So now, at the end of the day, I decided to make a blog post. 

 Danny boy!! <3

 I babysat Lexi and Danny and Lexi loved my Ipod. She walked around like this for a long time. I just have to give her the Ipod and she is entertained for a while. 

 Me ans Trina trying not to squint our eyes when we smile.         

         

Me and Trina taking some selfies while moving hay! 

Dad being superman...

The hay was rather heavy and he threw it around like it was ten pounds while I died trying to carry it. 

Happy not Tuesday friends. Hope this made you smile! 

Memorable Creations Photography: My Style Session

As many of you know a while back I changed my photography name to Daughter of the King, but being my undecided self, I changed it back!

After I got the camera for my birthday I could not wait to take pictures. I took pictures of Laura and than wanted to take more. I wanted some nice pictures of my self for a project I am working on. So out to the pasture with the tripod I go. :) Rosie took a few for me and then had to go to bed. I don't remember the ones she took but there are a few in here. I hope y'all enjoy my, what I like to call, Style Session!! :)

The pictures of Laura will be on here soon but first I have to post a much need Typical Tuesdays post!! Until next time!!!

Babysitting Little Osunas

On Mormorial Day I went over to Trina and Daniel's to babysit. Daniel had gone fishing with his brothers and Trina need a break. Trina went to Omaha for a shopping spree and I got to spend a number of hours with my little nephew and niece. They behaved very well. It was a great blessing that it was worm out because they had so much fun running around and playing out doors. 

Danny just got a few toy garden tools that he had a blast with. At one point he brought me some dirt in a hard ball and asked me to through it so he could bat it with his toy hoe. :)

I had taken the car seats out of Trina's car and set them on the patio and Lexi loved to climb in them and sit there. It was kinda scary when she decided to stand up in them and rock back and forth. :)

Mowing the driveway 

Going to visit the neighbors 

After a while out side we came in for a snack and to dance. I played some music on my Ipod and they took the cushions off of the couch to dance on them.

Looking out the window! 

I had a great time with them. I was exhausted at the end of the day but Trina came back refreshed so that made it beyond worth it. 

A Fun Sunday With Dad

This Sunday dad took us to the park. Becca 

was hanging out with Jenna Hager, so we had the afternoon

dad's old massage school. 

   

Dad and John spent a lot of time on the Merry-Go-Round

After a chicken lunch... Not sure that was a great idea....

 There was a little T-Rex Dino toy on the playground and 

John had a blast on it and making funny faces. :)

 HELP!!!!! The Dino is EATING my foot,

Lets see here... Nope no cavities.

This one's for mom, Bottoms UP! ;) 

Now, Let me Fall Asleep on the middle of this spinning 

Merry-Go-Round..... ZZZZZZZZZ
