Holy Salsa!

Yesterday, thanks to a donation of free tomatoes from a local farm, we made salsa!!

We chopped, simmered, and sealed 51 quarts and 16 pints of SALSA!! Half for us and half for the Hardings!! Lots of sonic diet cokes with lime and a delicious lunch from Sequoia! It was a great (LONG!) successful day.

When you come over, it will be wise to bring a bag of tortilla chips!!

Half Dome

It's been an exciting day for Wagdogz!! Here's Riley on top of Half Dome in Yosemite!! Congratulations Riley!!!

Skydiving

Today Jacquie and Paige went skydiving in Camarillo!! They tandem jumped at 10,000 feet. Here they are signing their lives away....

More pictures to come!

Shopping Fail

Warning:

This post is a little full of skin.....

Today Jacquie, Andrea, and I were at the Gap. The clearance was an additional 40% off!! Both Jacquie and Andrea tried on this little number. Unfortunately they both came out of the dressing room having some problems. I guess criss-cross straps are not for them...

Notice the criss-cross on the front of Jacquie, instead of the back! Fail.

Notice the side-seam down the front of Andrea. Fail.

Sorry they didn't have a t-shirt to try these on with.... Fail again!

With a little help they figured out how to wear the dress properly.

Not attractive on either.... No dress for the girls. But don't worry--- we found some other great, cheap inexpensive stuff. :)

GIrls' Camp 2011

We just got home from Girls' Camp on Saturday! This year was new and exciting as I was moved to be the 3rd year hike leader! (I've been the 2nd year hike leader for 3 years previous.)

That meant that Jim and I were fortunate to be the leaders of Andrea's hike again!!

The coolest thing about the 3rd year hike is that the girls get to repel. It's rather scary-- it's a long way down, but they loved it. (some more than others!)

Jim spent the days on top of the rock making sure that each girl was safe :) We had awesome youth leaders and awesome adult leaders. We learn about being like the North Star, holding to the rod, and most importantly about our Savior, Jesus Christ, and His Atonement.

It was the best. I was honestly surprised at how much I loved this hike!! The girls were all amazing. They learned they could do hard things (along with using a girl-made latrine-- ick)

New blog!

We Wagdog girls have decided to share our cooking skills (or lack of skills if you prefer to be brutally honest!). We have started a new blog!! You can find it here.... Wagdogz Whip It Up!

Hopefully you'll enjoy our recipes!! :)

i left my heart in san francisco

After taking Marissa to the airport the rest of us played in San Francisco for the day. We went to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Andrea found a hot sailor!

cute couple :)

Jim and I overlooking the Bay and the City.... Or should I say the City by the Bay??

Riles and Andee :D

The beautiful Golden Gate Bridge

Andee and me.... the boys rode their bikes over the bridge, while we 'satchel' girls shopped in the gift shop and drove over the bridge!

Jim, Riley, and Andrea before the bike ride.

The boys and their bikes :)
