Sunday Funday from a couple weeks ago! Love these 3 so much! I put my whole heart into them that's for sure! Let's see what September has instore for us!!! 

 

Speaking in Church!

 You know how I document everything! Well today Honz and I were asked to speak in Sacrament! We had to get our pics of us with our talks as we walked into church! lol Love my Sunday Funday photo shoots! lol The talks went great! So nerve racking but we got through it! Honz talk by far was hands down the best! He was vulnerable and touching sharing life experiences of "Why do we go to church!" He crushed it! Mine was on going back to the basics "Choosing the Right" grounded in faith! We are both so happy it's over! lol It has been a great Sunday! Ended our night at a youth fireside! No better way to start and end your week by being spiritually fed! 

Field Trip to Uncle Brent's!

This was the coolest night of our lives! Uncle Brent invited us to harvest honey and make spiced peach jam from his peach trees! Holy moly! It was a field trip of excitement! 1st up was getting in our Bee suits to go to the hives and collect the honey combs! This was so awesome! So educational! We learned all about the Bees! How long they live for! What the queen Bee does! So cool to see the worker bee's in the hives working! We collected ous trays and next up was scaping all the honey off! 

Just look at the trays full of honey!! This is seriously a full time job! lol So much work to harvest the honey! It was so satisfying to see the honey come through the wax as we scraped it off the trays! Cash and Piper loved it! Honz and I were totally into this as well! I could not believe my  eyes! lol I also couldn't stop eating and licking the honey! It was so delicious! lol

Once the honey was scraped off the honey combs we then had to squeeze the honey  our of the wax! This was a messy job! lol Honey was every where and Piper and I just kept licking it off! lol Then we  spooned the pure honey into glass jars! Such a fascinating process! I loved being a Bee Keeper! Coolest thing I have ever done! 

Piper and Navy had a blast feeding the chickens! They loved gathering eggs too! Such a fun experience for my little Piper! She kept saying "never done this before!" lol

Last thing for the field trip was  to make spiced peach jam! Peach picking first! Then peel the peaches! Blend the peaches and put them in a pot with sugar! There's a lot more to that then what I'm typing! lol It's quite the process to make jam! lol Had no clue! The kids had so much fun filling the jars with the jam! Honz and I couldn't stop eating it! lol Such an adventure! Thank you Uncle Brent for opening your home and teaching us so many amazing things! We can't wait to go back for more field trip fun! You are the greatest! So patient! and The best teacher! We love you!

Honz used his new equipment to climb on the roof to check the swamp  cooler! That was cool to see that new toy in action! lol Before we left the landlord had come and was already going to get working on getting an air conditioner tech out there! So hopefully no more  leaking come Monday! Dang it! Ugh! Man were we glad we stopped by! That would have been even more terrible to walk in on Monday! It never slows down in our little world!
