Here are just a few of the vegetables we picked from our little garden this year.
This year was our first attempt at bottling pickles. We successfully bottled dill and sweet pickles, since we love to eat them both. Take a look at our tasty pickles – they turned out so good!
I have the best Mom in the whole world. She offered to come spend the night and help me out with bottling my salsa, peaches, and pie filling. I am so grateful for my Mom. She is always willing to help me out when I need it; and yes I needed the help this year. I could not have done it without her! I look back and see what all we accomplished in such a short period of time, and its amazeing what two additional hands can do to accomplish such a big canning project. Although we were up late cold packing the bottles, we had a lot of fun. It was also a great opportunity to spend some quality time with my Mom. Thanks Mom for all you do for me and my little family. I love you so much!
It just so happened that Penni was home alone with her two little ones the same night my Mom and I were canning. So Tucker, Dalli, and Penni also came over to the house to join in the festivities. All in all we had a great time, and yes the three little ones did great!
Here’s a picture of Tucker sharing his tractors with Tyler. Thank you Tucker for being such a great cousin to Tyler!
In the end, this is what we accomplished. There’s not an empty bottle left in the Ivie house!

Wow! They look great. Reading blogs like this make me feel like such a wooser (as my 3 year old would say!) Adrian is quilting. You and Meladie are bottling. I think I've just been inspired. Jill I don't know how you do it, but you go girl!
