Ketchup!!!
The last time there was any activity on this blog it was September 2010. For whatever reason "Canning" seemed to be the death of our blog for a while. Not what I would call going out with a bang, but hey we are back! There is so much to "ketchup" on and talk about. It will probably take a while to get all caught up, but hopefully this will become a much more regular part of our record keeping now that we are a lot farther away from loved ones. Here are a few things we will hopefully get caught up on that our blog missed out on...
- Audrey was born...holy blondie!-January 2011
- Paul got a couple promotions...yay!-May and November 2011
- We got kicked out of our Layton house...grrrrrr!-October 2011
- Oh well, we are moving to Virginia...what the!?!-November 2011
- Welcome to Virginia and four-story living...fun stuff!-January 2012
- Audrey is Walking...victory!-February 2012
There is obviously a lot to talk about and some explaining to do, but I only have time for the last one on the list tonight. Our little baby girl Audrey (nickname-Audsy) started walking today. She has been standing up for a few months now and scooting around the couches and other things, but tonight she started spontaneously walking and then we immediately brought her upstairs so that we could document this awesome event as seen below...
Hope you enjoy these very short little clips. There is more to come from the Blanchard Clan, East Coast edition. Much love!

{Canning}
Yesterday, Kelli and Kelcy made their way up to my house so Kelli and I could do some canning. Neither of us have ever done it before but have wanted to get into it. The recipe we used is from Paul's grandmother and is a family favorite. It's just a vegetable soup but oh so good! Even though it was our first time we were successful and all the cans did seal! Yesterday, we also were on KSL and bought almost three hundred more canning jars for a $100 bucks! So with that said we definitely are going to do A LOT more of this. I have to admit I was scared to do it because when I told my dad that I was going to be canning he said,"You better wait until your sister can help you". I think he must have thought I was going to blow up the house. After our first batch was done pressurizing I was really nervous to take off the lid with fear of blowing up the house. Kelli just laughed at me. Instead of just doing it herself she thought it was funnier to watch me freak out a little. Love ya sis. Kelcy was awesome and made Layla this tutu. Layla loves it and says she needs to wear it! It was a great day and I loved being able to hang out with my sister and my fabulous niece.
Here is the recipe for the vegetable soup we canned:
* Kelli and I added another
onion and green pepper.*

{Haircut}
Layla got her first hair cut ever today! Kami did such an awesome job at making it look fabulous. Layla held pretty still for the most part. She did want to turn and see what she was doing, but what kid doesn't?

{Pretty}
I guess I have not done a very good job at keeping my make-up away from Layla. I was cleaning up the house and she comes over and says, "Pretty"! Repeating it over and over. She keeps me on my toes, but there are some of those times where she is just too quick!
