Elking and Canning

The boys met up with Grandpa yesterday morning for some elk scouting, also known around our house according to Bridger "elking". Although it sounds like they didn't see any elk they did see many elk tracks. I heard about this all night last night after the Boys woke from their nap.

What was I up to this weekend, well of course I went into school to do some work and then I had on my to do list: grocery shopping, laundry and salsa making/canning! The last one was by far the most exciting. As I type I am hearing the "popping" sound of the jars sealing! Success!

Ben and I pulled everything that was ripe from the garden over the last few days and stocked up knowing that today we would make our first round of homemade salsa. Although we had way to many jalapeños (they are going to work with me in the morning) we were able to use everything else. After three hours, cooking dinner in between, we have officially made 3 and 1/2 quarts of fresh canned salsa. Only time will tell if it is good,   gosh I hope so! It was a lot of work, but so much fun. 

O and Sunday night is not complete without a little bronco horse riding! Ride Em' cowboy!
