homemade apple juice and labor day picnic

On Saturday we made homemade apple juice!! This is actually the 2nd time we did it, but this time I got to watch more closely what was going on since last time I was in with the babies. Stan & Jan have an apple juice maker that Stan's parents bought in the '70s when they had a really good year for apples. Its awesome!! Its really fascinating to watch how it all works and of coures its delicious. Today (Labor day) we went to sheep mtn and had a little bbq with the Asay's. There's some cool rock formations up there and I've always been curious what was "lurking" behind the fields. :) Stetson is progressing with the potty training!! His success began when he peed outside on the grass, and that's still his place of choice when he pees. He's starting to tell us before he has to go, which is also very exciting. He's struggling with the poop thing but we're further along than I expected. I hope it continues to go well. Michael has been a big help with the whole thing and takes him out whenever Stetson needs to go.

Looks like a great picnic! Who took the family picture! I've only been out there once while Christian and i were dating and he got the ranger stuck and Matthew had to come and get us...! I'm glad to hear that Stetson is starting to get the hang of it...yay! Keep up the good work Stetson!!
