Making Raspberry Jam

My mom has a great raspberry patch and she had a lot of raspberries that needed to be picked. So for Family Home Evening one night, Jon and I decided we would make some raspberry jam. This was a first for Jon, and he really enjoyed it. Of course, he loved the finished product as well and had to taste it several times. :)

We ended up with about 24 jars of jam. Thanks mom for the raspberries!!!

Wedding

My brother Darin, got married on July 6, 2013 to Christy Mair in the Portland Temple. The weather was beautiful and they both looked beautiful. It seemed like forever waiting for them to come out of the temple. There were 3 other brides that came out before Darin and Christy.

After the wedding we went down the street to the Oswego Grill for dinner. It was fun to catch up with everyone. Brian was even able to fly out for the wedding. Dinner was so delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

On Saturday July 13, 2013 Darin and Christy had their open house at my parents house in Grandview. It was decorated so beautifully. Lisa had some great ideas on how to decorate. It all turned out so good. It was fun to see family and catch up. There were several people who hadn't met Jon so he got to meet a lot of people as well.

Darin loved the Cookie Bar we had at the reunion, so we did it again for the Open House. It was really good, and we had TONS of cookies.

After the open house, we watched Darin and Christy open their gifts. Lori decided since they were opening all these gifts, Makaela should get to open something too, so she bought her a gift as well. She bought her Merida and her Horse from the movie Brave. Makaela was so excited she could hardly contain herself.
