Picking Raspberries and Vegetables


Corbin and I went to the U-Pick farm in Palmer, AK and got some kohlrabi. It tastes like a mixture between a potato, a cabbage, and a radish with some sugar in it. It's delicious.

We also picked raspberries. We went home and made raspberry muffins that called for an entire stick of butter. Yummy!




Singing in the Rain






Corbin and I went out to play in the rain one day. We were trying to master getting a picture of each other in mid-air. Took us a while but we got it down.












First Grader

Here is Corb and I starting first grade. I am so excited for him!


First of all I do not know why this picture will NOT download right side up. I seriously need to take a computer class.

ANYWAY, here is the story behind this picture.

I drove and hour to a mountain range called Hatcher's Pass. I hiked 30 minutes up the mountain and picked Alaskan wild blueberries and hiked back out.

I removed all the foliage from the berries and washed them. I mashed them in the food processor and then added 14 cups of sugar. With a little lemon juiced and pectin I made Alaskan blueberry jam.

THEN I canned it and sealed it. It was my first time.

I am feeling so domestic and awesome right now.
