Canning Marathon

This last week/weekend was chalk full of canning...and not much else....Jolene brought up ridiculous amounts of pears and peaches so we went to work. We made 2 batches of pear butter, 1 batch of spiced pears, about 7 batches of pears, 2 batches of spiced plum jam, 1 batch of peach jam, 1 batch of spiced peaches, and probably around 8 batches of pears. It was insane, the messes were insane. Good thing Grandma was around to help us!

That was most of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Sunday we had an awesome mexican feast prepared by Uncle Russ and Cousin Brandon even came over from Missoula. Monday I had two senior shoots and we managed to get a little boating in.
Here's the crew!
Me and Baby LindyJean taking a break.
Boss and the Itty Bitty on the Ranger...look at the pure joy on her face.

Man - Brian is looking thin. Must be all that working! Hope he has enough body fat to get him through until November!

Looks like you've had a very busy week! Where do you come up with all the fruit for all this canning? It all looks very tasty. I can't wait to see the Cinderella photo shoot!

Hooray. You should see the pile of canned goods in the basement waiting to be organized and shelved... Holy cow! THanks for all your help. I want one of those pear photos for my card. :)
