Canning, Dieting, and Weening Ruby from her Nubby

What a busy end of July I am having.  Today I have canned my 4th pint jar of jalapeno peppers. We have 2 little pepper plants in the garden that have been bearing so much fruit.  I have canned a jar of peppers a week because of them.  I cannot wait to can my tomatoes.  We have about 20 tomato plants with tons of fruit hanging off the vines.  Larry Denzil and the kids are in
Heaven.



Larry Denzil and I have started Phase 1 of the South Beach diet again.  Fun.  So far it is going well. Usually by day 4 I crave sweets, but today is a good day.  Of course it is just day 1.  Larry Denzil is doing a "Biggest Loser" challenge with the Hurt men starting Aug 1.  They are all dieting and exercising to see who can lose the most body fat.  This should prove interesting.  I won't post any humiliating pictures of us.  Of me anyways.  I think Larry Denzil would enjoy showing his pectoral muscles. He just has maybe 10 pounds to lose around the gut.  I will just keep everyone updated as we complete different phases of the diet. 

Ruby has ruined the 4th lid to her Nubby.  Because of that, I thought I could give her one of the other sipper cups we have.  WRONG!  Boy is this girl stubborn.  







Today has been an absolute nightmare with her.  You would think she has started a diet and is cranky without her chocolate.  Larry Denzil says she is a mini Marsha walking around.

Ooh, good luck on the diet. Man, I just can't live without my sugar. And Ruby is just adorable! I still can't get Carter off his sippy cups, but I confess I don't mind much, since he doesn't make any spills!

Good job on the canning! I'm jealous.

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...
