so i'm trying to "preserve" this summer.  not the summer its self but food.  so far i have frozen blue berries, made raspberry and blue/back berry jam, frozen grated zucchini, and right now i am canning green beans.  not much but i am on my way.  i think we should have enough tomatoes to can a few and enough corn to freeze.  then if we get into our house on time there are tons of apple trees so i/we (mindi) can do some apple sauce.  i think cory was making fun of me a little bit this morning because i was just starting the second batch of seven beans and he asked how many we had and when i said 14 he asked how many his mom did.  80.  well he says your almost there.  hey i'm a beginner.  i'm just thankful i have done any. 

we went to the kid's ice cream social at their new school last night and i thought cory was going to pop he was so excited.  he was even singing the school song as we pulled into the parking lot.  who knew there elementary's school song and more importantly who remembers it 20 some odd years later?  he saw about 100 people he knew from when he went to that school and bennett even has clint's 1st grade teacher.  it did have a very nice down home feeling.  i hope we get into the house sooner than later because the drive out there every day could kill me.  jackson got car sick on the way home so if he ever has to ride the bus he might just have to carry puke bucket. 

hood to coast was great, kind of.  mom was so sick that when a runner went down on her last leg i was convinced that it was her.  it wasn't, she did great.  even being way sick she only went over her times on one of her legs.  on hood to coast you run 3 legs anywhere from 3 to 7 miles in 24 hours.  it is awesome.  i did not fair as well as mom did.  they put my projected times down off of what i ran last year.  well last year i ran the easiest legs and this year i ran the second hardest .  i think i only came close to my time once and then i dry heaved until my ribs were so soar i couldn't take a deep breath.  my running has got to start improving (i mean the fun aspect of it) or i am going to find a new, easier sport!  i really want to get a family team together for next year.  we need 12 members and geof. and darla said they are in.  i am also working on a sponsor so we wont have to pay for anything.  anyone interested?   it is always the last full weekend of august.  just remember don't swim in any utah county pools before you come and run, and you will have a great time.

jesse, indie is so chunkie and cute!!  i can not wait to see you guys!  chels, i didn't know that you were coming, that is so rad!  i wish joey were coming so i could meet him, but i guess i will have to wait until your wedding.  are any of your other sisters coming?   i can't believe we get the whole rigby family except dear uncle kev. 

i hope everyone has a spectacular day.  love..........me
