UTAH FOOTBALL

It's here! Utah Football has arrived, and at our house that means much rejoicing! What a game today- some good, some bad, but we came away with a win in the big house! I always get excited for the College Football season to start. It means lots of great football games at Rice-Eccles Stadium with wonderful friends and family. And it also brings back my nostalgia of college...I loved my time at the University of Utah. I practically grew-up on campus, there wasn't even a look at another school for me- I've been RED my entire life. I am learning to love the game of football because it is one of my husbands OBSESSIONS. I love watching him get so excited about the games and players. We all wore our Utah Football shirts all-day, even Jack has his red #3 jersey. GO UTES! We are sure excited to see many more great games this season.

Zucchini Relish

I don't know what it is about canning...I don't really like to do it, but when all is said and done I really like the feeling that I accomplished something. I love how the bottles look all nice and neat on the counter. I enjoy the sound of little pops when the bottles seal. It's a nice way to use up produce from the garden and I get to add to my food storage. I guess I really do like doing it despite the time it takes- I'll have to re-read this post when I feel like canning again (which will be next week because I have so many tomatoes to use up).

This week was Zucchini Relish- I know sounds a little weird, but it tastes so DELICIOUS! It's my Grandma Roger's recipe...for those of you who are family, nothing more needs to be said- for those of you who read this blog that aren't family, my Grandma Rogers makes only the most wonderful food, full of flavor and that homemade goodness! Anyhow, I've rambled on long enough. If anyone needs to use up Zucchini let me know and I'll pass the recipe along.

First Steps

Jack has been taking steps now for a couple weeks. His new favorite game is to walk back and forth to people and then yell YEAH as he crashes into you, then he'll clap for himself. It's so fun! Hopefully I'll have some video footage to add to the blog here soon. Way to go Jack- we are so proud of you!
