Friends and Food Storage...

For a while now we've been trying to get our food storage bought and put away. It's been something that has been nagging at both Dustin and I. We made a good dent in it this weekend, canned a few things with the help of the Church Cannery and some great ladies in the ward, and I am now proud to say we have enough wheat to feed our family for six months according to the church recommendations! Now it's onto the beans and rice and water. It's so overwhelming when you look at all they suggest you have, but we're working on it a little each month. Whew! On a lighter note -- we went up and roasted some yummy marshmallows with the Sorenson's and played with the kids for a while Saturday night on the Red Hill. Totally spur of the moment and really fun. Alex said it was the best marshmallow he ever ate! Dallin found a caterpiller hanging on a rock and said it was about to make a "chrysalis," (Hello---had no idea he knew that word or what it meant! Melissa and I both looked at each other like "What did he just say?") and Derrick has been asking all day when we can go climb the rocks with Jack and Brynn again? He promises he'll try not to touch the fire! Fun times! :)
P.S. Dallin brought me a flower he had found and picked just for me---melt your heart! So sweet.
