I did get a chance to have a good long talk with both of my sisters who live way to far away from me. I really love having sisters. I just wish I got to see them more than once every couple of years. After way too long of phone conversations with them I ran across this pic.
Are we not adorable? Here is the crazy wierd part. My kids thought this was a picture of my sister's two daughters. We do look eerily similar to her children. Look close those of you who know my nieces and you will see the similarity.
I have been totally obsessed with canning. Tomorrow I will do yet another batch of salsa. My son is eating it way too fast to make my first batch last a year. I hate store bought salsa. So, I need at least a year's supply. And we are big salsa eaters. I had a blast canning with my good friend last week. Canning is way more fun if it is done with company. I don't know if I will ever be able to can alone again. Luckily, my Bec loves to can.
Tom went on his first hot air balloon ride Saturday and got some great pics I will try to post soon. His Mom also got a chance to go on the balloon because Tom got off half way through his ride and changed places with her. He really is a good son.
Bec has been making me laugh this week with her crazy comments. She is just so funny. Six year-olds always think they have everything figured out.
One conversation:
Isaac telling us about a sad story about an orphaned baby kangaroo. (Isaac is obsessed with kangaroos). He is currently doing a report on kangaroos. This is like his fourth report on Kangaroos since 1st grade. I think maybe he is cheating here, since he is clearly a kangaroo expert by now. Anyway, I digress. Isaac mentioned how the baby Joey was orphaned.
Becca, incredulously: They name all the baby kangaroos?
Isaac is laughing too hard to explain that all baby kangaroos are called Joey.
As you can see life has been pretty normal for the Hughes this week.

Sisters are the best. I remember when I was in high schol my mother told me that I needed to be nice to my sisters because some day they would be my best friends, maybe even the only friends I would have. And it's so true! I give my girls the same lecture to this day!!
I love fresh salsa too. If you have a good recipe you need to share. I just finished all the jelly I canned at the firt of the summer. I thought it would last all winter, so I have many canning jars and need to cann some more!
I am canning some peaches for the first time tomorrow! I am so excited. My friend is teaching me how to do it. We love home made salsa also. My neighbor makes the best ever so she will send the salsa over and when we are done I replace the jar with cookie dough. It is a great system we have. I really want her recipe but she won't share it. I would love to get yours if you are sharing!
Sisters are the best. I second everything steph said. I am also doing the same thing with my girls and the boys. Speaking of which, we need to plan another girls get away. Maybe somewhere much closer like park city or something?
I am going to post my recipe this Friday. I have had several people ask for it. I am also canning peaches and peach jelly this week.
Yeah for sisters! It sounds like everyone has already said it all so I will just say...ditto!
Man, it sounds like I need to learn how to can stuff. I am behind.
I really need to learn how to can. I did it once or twice as a kid with my mom. It would be great to have that extra supply.
Love the pic! There is nothing like a good sister, that's for sure!
We miss you too Shelle-I particularly love the strangle hold you have me in in that picture. The thing that's funny about that Joey story is that when I was pregnant with Michael Bret would always call him my Joey. I seriously thought about the name.
Look at those beautiful girls!
