Apricots Galore

I have sooooo many apricots on my tree this year, I can't keep up with them! I canned some apricot butter yesterday and dried the rest of them in my food dryer. It looks like I have a ton more on the tree too.

First Wrestling Tournament

Last Saturday we went to watch little man's uncle Cameron wrestle. Cameron took first at 135 pnds, the same weight that his big brother Rees and brother in law took state at.....no pressure for the year. We have been telling him that he also needs to be a state champ at 135 to keep it going! We were teasing that the baby better get used to the wrestling because I do not think he has much of a choice if he will be on the mat or not:) He did really good, loved looking around and watching everyone, even took a bit of a nap in the middle of everything. My two cousins and Uncle came to watch also. My cousin Jenny brought her girl Bianca who is two. Jody, Jessi and Hannah were there to watch so Hannah and Bianca got to play and run around.

It was a good thing that Tyler and Mel had their camper. We got to sleep in the camper because it was really cold and Dad had to sleep in the tent by himself:( It poured all of Sunday so we had to spend half the day in the camper with the two babies. They were snuggled up in ther sleeping bag together and were soooooooo cute! We had big plans of hikes and four wheeler rides for sunday but I guess next time. The boys managed to get 7 pickup loads of wood out for the winter so that was nice. The girls and babies went for a short walk, stood by the fire and made brownies in the camper.

We went back to Grandma Sandi's this weekend and made MORE salsa, went for a hike and just hung out. It was nice and relaxing. On Saturday my friend Lindsey was having a bridal shower so I got to go to that. The next day we met up with Lindsey and my friend Amy so they could see the baby. Here they are and he looks pretty comfy getting all that attention. The girls will probably be mad at me because it was in the morning and none of us had gotten ready yet. I told them this would not go on the blog! It was just too cute not to though.......................sorry:)
