Canning and Potty-Training

On the weekend of Aug 31st my mom came to stay with us for the weekend. Since she was here, I put her to work. My in-laws have multiple peach tree and share generously with all their kids. So this year I decided to can peaches on my own, well my mom would help instead of Nate's mom, so really not alone at all!!

Bridger, my mom, me. In the middle of the process of canning. Side note, notice Bridger in UNDERPANTS!!
 
Also during this weekend we decided to potty train Bridger since Nate had a long weekend because of Labor day. He has done awesome, only one number 2 in his underwear. Other than that, not to many issues!!  Way easier than I thought it would be. Way to go Bridge!!
Waiting for some of the peaches in the hot bath.
Half way done, look at all those peach still left.
The end product!! I can't wait to enjoy these babies over the winter!! Nate also helped me with the second patch, we made a good team. Thanks mom and Nate for helping!!
 I still had peaches left over so I made freezer peach jam. The Hansen's also have raspberry vines so I made strawsberry (strawberries and raspberries) jam. So yummy!!
On our way to church I made my mom snap a picture of the family. I love how it turned out, we don't have enough of the four of us together.
