While The Cat's Away

The week following Labor Day we stayed to play with my family.  The kids watched the dogs.  Parker was good with them but the other two boys were a bit nervous to have the dogs out running around.  One day we will need a dog. :)

This is Sadie.  She loves to play catch.  In fact she has trained all the grandchildren to throw a ball for her.  While we were there Parker and I were out front throwing the ball.  I would throw the ball for her and she would come and drop it in front of Parker.  She was trying her hardest to get him to throw the ball.  We love this girl.

Sprinkler fun.

Parker playing tricks on his brothers.


When the girls came home after school we got to play a little more on the big slide.  The boys had a great time but I still could never get Henry to go down.


These kids were coming up with some new landing styles.  Kind of fun.


Grandma Glenna serves her mission a couple of days each week.  She made it home and came to spend some time with Caroline.

I love that all the kids had their chips and were hanging out with Caroline on this one.  These girls are so much fun!
One thing that I really wanted to do while we were back was ask my grandma how to can peaches.  When I came home my mom had been canning peaches.  My grandma ordered a few more bushels of peaches and we started working.  I wish I could say that I did more but it seems that any time I got started one of the kids would need my attention.  I canned about six jars (which needed to be fixed a little).  My mom, Jess and Grandma did the rest.  They did a beautiful job and the peaches taste great!  Thanks for teaching me about canning Grandma and mom.
