Time to Jam

We finally got around to making our yearly strawberry jam, YUM! Evan helped this year and needed a little convincing that it was a good idea to smash strawberries with your hands but once he got started he liked it a lot.

Evan and I squished, mom cut the stems off and Sarah cooked.


The finished goods!

Go there.

After hearing the news about Ken on Tuesday Dad, Mom, Sarah, and I left that night to drive to Texas to spend time with Vickie, Brenna, and Garrett and be there for the service on Thursday. It is about a 24 hour drive from our house to the Ghents and things get a little interesting after being in a vehicle for so many hours....

Eating at Whataburger for dinner, obviously it was one of the more exciting things to happen!

Going on a walk with Brenna Friday morning.

Vickie requested pictures of the flowers from the service and I was more than happy to take some.

Garrett suggested eating at the Dog Pound for lunch on Saturday before heading back to California. This was a place Ken had liked to eat at and had introduced Garrett to.

I'm not usually a big fan of hot dogs but these were exceptionally good!

I was really glad I was able to get off work and spend time with the Ghents, it was neat to hear all the stories that were being told. They are such an amazing family, each of them have such beautiful hearts filled with love for God and His people.
