September Happenings

Some other fun September happenings. Jinni, Justin's sister turned 16! Her party got a little slighted with the baby announcement but she was ok with it. She's such a great girl and we love her lots. Since she's legal to date she's been on a date almost every weekend! 

This picture makes me laugh a lot. But she's still cute. =)

Jinni got a fancy tablet toy like Justin and I thought it was funny as we are having a family party and this is what these two are doing. It must be a genetic thing. At least their mouths aren't open like the Stoddards. =)

We all Volunteered to help Jourdan with a big school project that she was a part of. She had an internship at the American Heart Association and worked to put on this big event. There was quite a few different races going on, booths about stroke and heart health, health screening and other fun stuff. It was a pretty fun event. It was pretty awesome to see all these stroke survivors do the stroke walk and trying so hard. 

I told Justin I sure do love Jourdan a lot to get up at 5 in the morning to be there at 6 to start helping. =) It all worked out and we got some free girl scout cookies in the deal so it all worked out. =)

I was being very domestic and made jam with some berries that Justin's Grandma Messenger gave me while we were there. I was nervous about it but it all turned out and they all sealed. I was so glad. We go through jam super fast so it will at least get us through till the end of the year hopefully. I continued in being a domestic goddess and got some pears from my parents and canned them . They really won't last long. I think I made about 10 smaller jars and I think we've all ready had 3 or 4. =)  It was fun and got me excited and wanting to do more, I am excited for apple season to be coming up. 

We are doing really well. Not much to report on the baby issue. I have been feeling really good, going for a walk most mornings and able to get the things done that I need and want to to. I do tend to need a nap around 3-4 in the afternoon. We'll find out what we are having next week! Which all of us are excited about.
