Conference Weekend

About five months ago, we bought 25 25lb bags of hard red wheat from the cannery and never had a chance to "can" it, so we decided this weekend would be perfect, we could do it while we listened to conference. We also had a bunch of other stuff we needed to get canned too. We didn't technically can it, we put it in the silver pouches and checked out the sealer from the cannery and did it that way. Anyway, we got it all done between the two sessions of conference and I must say, it's feels so good not to have to worry about it anymore! It was quite a mess, but Jaxon had a good time "helping" us. We did hard red wheat, flour, pinto beans, black beans, rice, salt and I think that's it. We ended up with 150 bags total! It's a good thing we have a big storage room! I don't know what was up with my camera, but it took really bad pictures...sorry!


Jaxon was such a big helper!

These two pictures above are the bags we did during the first session, we did just about as many during the second session too!
And I wondered why we had such a mess on the floor!
This is what Brynn was doing while we were doing our food storage. This is her new thing, she stands on top of things then waits until you look at her and starts laughing because she knows she's not supposed to do it! She's cute, but a little stink too!
