Up to my ears in jam!

Most of today was spent making strawberry jam with my mom and boy was it fun! Look at how many berries we had!

Parker thought it was important to have someone test taste the strawberries. He dubbed himself the taste tester, naturally.




Where would I be without my cuisinart? It has been a wonderful addition to my kitchen! A special thanks to that secret someone who gave it to me! ;)



Caught red-handed in the drawer!

Devri put herself in charge of lids.


Let the storing begin!





Strawberries really are the best! It was a wonderful way to spend the day. Thanks mom!

Parker has the BEST faces, they are always so cute and crack me up. And oh my gosh I love your kitchen!! I'm so jealous, but so excited for you. My sister said you're in her ward! How fun! And mmmm...that jam looks so good. I miss California strawberries.

Wow, that is a LOT of jam! Looks delicious! Parker is such a sport for taking the role of taste tester. Devri is getting so big. She's too cute.

Yummmm! I love me some strawberry jam. I just made my recently too. Fun that you got to do it with your mom. Moms sure are the best uh?

Mmm now you have me craving some homemade bread and strawberry jam! I never knew you could store them in containers like that, I always thought it had to be canning jars! That would take me a lifetime to consume... I am assuming your shared with your mom though!

Oh, boy, do I love these pictures - and your jam looks delicious. I agree that some homemade bread (or rolls from your mom) and jam would be very special right now. Love my kids and miss them so much. Love and kisses
