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!
