I love me so BBQ

My parents invited the whole Tillamook county Motsinger clan down for some yummy BBQ on Sunday! We had such a wonderful time! The weather was perfect and we all just enjoyed each other so much.
Mom and I also go our strawberry jelly done! I bought a flat and a 1/2 at our local farmers market. I got them from the Strawberry ladies, and let me tell you....they were the prettiest strawberrys I have EVER seen! Soooo yummy too. I had a blast making them all up and my freezing has us all stocked up for winter. I never realized how expensive it was to make homemade jellys and jams but OH it was soooo worth it!

I am SOOOO not judging but...........

I just wanna know....WHY would you cover your body this way?

Just like his daddy

So, I have NEVER been creative...Never. I can make some cute cards, make a mean batch of choc. chip peanut butter cookies, and scrub me a pretty looking toilet, but creativity...that is just not me. My husband on the other hand...He is soooooooooo creative. And you who know my Jason, know what I am talking about. When I first starting hanging around this Motsinger Family, I was always amazed at the things the boys would make up to keep themselves busy. Now, I know that my son is taking after them. I was watering our yard the other day and Logan runs in the the house and yells, " Mommy, I finally know how to use my Spiderman umbrella.." He grabs it and runs for the sprinkler. When it comes to summertime, I am usually all game for getting wet. Plus, it was so darn cute, who couldn't let him do it;) Peyton even wanted in on the fun.
Peyton and Logan have been soooooooooooo enjoying his little tent this summer. Inside and out...the giggles that those to give out....melts my heart.

I keep finding her in some funny new places

Peyton is 10 months old now. Walking all around by herself and getting more and more indepedent. I was sitting on the couch today and I had to double take...did I leave that door opened?? How in the world did she end up in there? I pulled her out, shut the door and let her show me if she was the one who opened it. Sure enough, She looks at me with a BIG smile, opens the door and climbs in. Then begins a little booty dance with a PROUD giggle!
