Benson is turning ONE!

I'll let the pictures do the talking!

Maybe you noticed that he is usually playing with the little black camera case... that's usually the only way i can get him to sit still for a photo! hee hee

We're Jammin!

Last Thursday and Friday, Mom, Nicole and I got together to restore the old fashioned tradition of making homemade jam. Not just any jam though.. Our famous Apricot Freezer Jam. Everybody who tastes this jam, loves it, so we were determined to make enough to last until next season. Last year, the jam was made from the apricots that grew on my tree in the backyard. Unfortunately no apricots grew this year, so we had to venture elsewhere. 10 hrs of hard labor (and i mean, HARD LABOR), 6 trips to the store for forgotten supplies, lots of dollar bills spent and we had finally accomplished our goal. A year supply of Apricot Freezer Jam. Wahoo!

We even had to get an extra freezer to fit it all!
