Time . . .

I think we made it home at one of the most perfect times of year: Raspberry, strawberry, pea new potato and cherry season! So, there were more things on, too, but those are the highlights, and we enjoyed harvesting with those who were able to be home when we were.

Can you guess the type of fruit in Nanna's hand? Those, my friends, are raspberries, HUGE raspberries! The kiddos and I were out for a bit, and Grace had down pat how to eat as many as she could find. We did actually bring some in though, and Nanna put them to good use in a yummy smoothy ;)

As I mentioned before, Joseph and Megan's colors were black, white, and candy apple green. What better dessert to compliment the theme, than apple pie? The weather was perfect for baking, too, in the seventies most days, so bake we did! Nanna was responsible for most of the 40, yes 40 pies taken to the reception, and I helped with the mint brownies from Bishop Alan Peterson (thanks for letting us use and slightly modify it by the way). Soooooo good, but testing them was probably a big part of why I feel like I need to find a race or something? . . .

Nanna hard at work, it's amazing how fast and beautiful she can turn out pies, and did I mention tasty? Yes, they were great!

While the weather was great for baking, there were only a couple days that made us want to get in the pool to cool off. Jeff got in with the girls on a day that was a bit warm, but I don't know if you can tell by their faces, the water wasn't necessarily. Jeff was a good sport about getting in with them though before he had to get back to work while we stayed and had fun with the family!
