Our fun Monday

Monday's are like our Saturday's since Wes' weekend is Sunday Monday so yesterday was a fun, eventful day. We started out the day at the doctors where I had an ultra sound and we found out that we are having a boy. I was secretly hoping for a boy because I think it would be fun to have the two boys since they will be so close together. And from everyone's comments, some said that is the case with their boys, so that made me even more excited. It's always fun to see the ultra sound and to see the baby move around. They said everything looked good and normal and that is always a relief.
Then we came home, put Nathan down for a nap and started making and canning salsa. My parents gave us a bunch of tomatoes, peppers and onions from their garden so we made a giant pot of salsa. It took almost all day. We cooked it for about 3 hours and then processed it and now we have 14 jars of yummy homemade garden salsa.
Canning season is officially starting for me!

While the salsa was cooking for 3 hours, I mentioned that I was craving a dessert (like always) and Wes said he wanted to make a cake. I checked out some books from the library on cake decorating and Wes picked one up and looked through it the other day and decided that it didn't look that hard so while the salsa was cooking, Wes and I (mostly Wes) made a cake and then Wes decorated it like a Watermelon.


He did a pretty good job I think. I had a lot of fun hanging out with my husband in the kitchen all day!
