McKenna is crawling and lots of pictures



Here is a little video of McKenna crawling, some pictures of her adventures, and lots of random pictures and videos. She has gotten a little quicker since this video. She has pretty much mastered crawling this last week. It happened pretty fast. I guess she is a bright child, what can I say?

This is Smalls water dish. Notice how smalls it watching, wondering what is going on. McKenna already dumped out all the food out of the bowl. But I think she enjoyed the water better.


You always have to lick the bowl when your finished.

McKenna learned out to clap a few weeks ago. Its pretty cute.



This is McKenna cousin Peyton. They are just a few weeks apart.

Such a sweet face.
This is her little sweat suit. Its pretty cute.

HELLO!

I painted her toes last week. They look cute now, but let me tell you. I just about gave up half way throug the process. She better not get used to having painted toenails, that is an expensive habit.

This is how McKenna usually greats me in the morning and after her naps. Not always with a smile, but a lot of the time.

She is such a happy baby! She just got her first tooth (if you count having it poke through her gum getting her first tooth). It has been a rough few weeks in the evening because of that tooth. Can't wait for more to come through. hum??
Lately McKenna loves to watch herself (or maybe she likes watching the other baby) on the camera when I take videos of her. So I have taken a lot of videos because its funny to watch her. She is so cute. I feel so blessed. She has grown up so much just in the last few weeks, with crawling and getting her first tooth and clapping. She is turing into a little toddler. ;( So sad, my little baby girl isn't so little anymore.



THE END! haha

Canning

Tucker and I thought it would be a good idea to get some more food storage. So we took a drive over to the cannery. We weren't going to do any canning, we were just gonna buy some food that was already canned. But as it turns out, not everything comes pre-canned. So we got lucky and a station was open. So we canned out goods.


For those of you who have never canned before, like Tucker and I, this is how its done.
You first grab 6 cans.

Then you place them in this white bucket

Open your product,

Then pour your product.

As you can see they are not all filled to the top and not even close to even, so....

You give them a little shake to pack the "goods" down as far as it will go. Then...

..you top them all off.

Next, you move them over to the table....


and place the oxygen absorber thingy in with your product.Then you place your lid on top.

And place the can on this contraption, like so.

You then proceed to push the lever over to start the spinning

Then you remove the can after it has finished spinning and magically the lid is sealed onto the can.
After you have sealed your cans, you label the can with the correct label, in this case it is Flour.
You then place the finished cans in a nice box, with a couple white lids.

This is what we canned that day. We also bought spaghetti and pancake mix. Which you don't have to can. We canned sugar, flour, milk, and refried beans. It was pretty fun and really quite easy. I would recommend it to everyone.

This is what McKenna did while we canned. She is such a good sport!! Thats why I love her!
