It has been very busy around our house this past month.  I haven't had a lot of time to sit and do a new post.  We've had visitors, went to my cousin's wedding, and been generally busy keeping up with the house and yard.  Lately this has been taking up my time:

We have a big strawberry patch and we were told that a lot of the plants were old and therefore might not produce fruit.  Well, they had no problem producing fruit!  I go out every 2-3 days and pick for at least an hour and then come in and cut them for another hour (at least).  Lately I have been cutting them and freezing them and then putting them in food saver bags.  I have already made 8 small jars of freezer jam too.  So I'm up to my ears in strawberries, and will probably be eating smoothies all year long.

I've done some fun stuff with the kids lately too.  We bought a pass to the zoo for Alex and I (Logan is free) and we have gone twice already.  Much to my surprise, Logan wanted to pet the goats this year and actually did it!  It's a nice zoo and we never get to see all of it in one trip so it's fun and they are currently building new exhibits too.
