"Showers"

A Showering of Gifts:

My dear friend Vienna is having a baby girl in September. As soon as I found out she was pregnant I told her I was giving her a shower.  Lot's of girls in our ward are moving this month so I decided to throw the shower a little early so they could be there.

I had so much fun getting ready and planning for this shower!

Get it? Baby SHOWER?!

 Complete with marshmallow chocolate cookies, sugar cookie bars, cupcakes made by my friend Anna, and chocolate peanut butter rice krispie treats made by my friend Heather.

 Doesn't she look amazing? I can't wait for baby Nolie to get here in 6 short weeks!

I'm so sad I didn't get a picture of the car seat cover I made her.  It's SO cute if I do say so myself :)

Over the weekend we headed to Firth, ID to visit our friends Chase and Meagan Jones before hunting season starts. Now we won't see them until December! (Chase guides hunts)

It was Preston's birthday so it was his turn to get showered with gifts.  It was perfect timing that we got to attend his party and go to the zoo with him for his first birthday.

 Violet loved the animals and kept calling them them dogs.  It was so fun and a great little zoo, had lots of animals that Hogle Zoo didn't!  We went at like 1:00 so we were sweating to death in the 90 degree weather, but it was worth it.

I LOVE this Lion! Don't you just want to hug him?

Sadly the only picture I got of Meag, and didn't even get any at the birthday party, a good one of Vi and her boyfriend (one of the two :)) or one of me!

Rain Shower's

Thanks to all the rain shower's this spring and early summer, the Oberg's have quite the harvest of raspberries.  We were lucky enough (or maybe unlucky enough) to pick them Monday while Erik's parents are in Washington DC visiting Erik's brother.
Man it's a lot of work!  It was such a beautiful day even though we were sweating buckets.  We got 2 flats of raspberries and we only picked half of the bushes; my mom went up later that night and picked the rest because we would have been there all day.

 Two of these babies!

 Violet loved the cows and kept saying, "ehhhh" I think that was her mooing and saying "deh deh!" (dog)

 She wasn't sure what to think of the fish but kept poking it

 Today I made 3 batches of yummy jam and still had about 8 cups left to freeze for yogurt parfaits, homemade ice cream and more!

I printed these labels off months ago hoping that it would inspire me to can something, voila! (Free from a Studio 5 episode I believe) Labels courtesy of Tip Junkie
