Hard work takes you places!

After almost a year, Jonah was finally able to reach his goal! He has been earning money for his very own bike. He went to the store with his dad and picked out his bike and paid for it with his very own cash. We are very proud of our boy, he worked so hard to earn $55. You can tell by his smile that he is just giddy with excitement! He LOVES his new bike.
Keira has also reached a milestone, learning to ride her tricycle! She has been practicing here and there but finally got it together today. Look how cute she looks pedaling away!

On occasion I let the kids out front to ride their bikes up and down the street. Here they are patiently waiting for me to take the picture so they can zip away!

Apricots!

We haven't canned apricots in a few years, but the kid still enjoy helping out!

Sariah has the small hands for filling jars and Jonah has the knife skills to cut the apricots in half. After a few days of hard work we have many jars of apricots and even more jars of apricot jam!
