Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

Does anyone make their own spaghetti sauce and bottle it? I am really wanting to do it but I have no idea how. If you do it would you please leave me a recipe & instructions on bottling??? Thank you so much!

Going through old pictures has it's perks!

I have been going through some old pictures trying to find some things and I ran across this fabulous picture of my hubby, his brother Dave, and our brother in law, Roger. This was taken in 2004 when our family went to Florida for a family vacation. Truman (Josh's dad) worked at St. George Ford for years so he was always giving everyone St. George Ford T-Shirts and he had brought some on the trip hoping the kids would wear them one day. Well, we did have some kids try them on and model them for us but for some reason I don't think it was the kids that grandpa Leishman had in mind!Roger, David, Josh

Our family will FINALLY be a forever Family!!!!

Our family is overjoyed to say the least that our sweet Jayden can finally be sealed to us. Her biological father has finally agreed to it! When Josh & I went through the Temple back in 2001 it was a wonderful day for me but heart breaking as well. Josh & I & our little Ashlyn were inside the Temple being sealed for Eternity as our little Jayden had to wait outside the Temple for us. I still bought her a beautiful white dress for that day and tried my hardest to make her feel as though she was not missing out on anything. My heart silently breaking! Now we can finally ALL be in the Temple together to be sealed for Eternity!! No one is being left out this time. I feel like all of my prayers are being answered and I just feel complete. I don't know how else to word what I am feeling. I just know that it will be a most joyous day that I will never forget!!!




























I have a fam’ly here on earth.They are so good to me.I want to share my life with them through all eternity.
Fam’lies can be together forever Through Heav’nly Father’s plan. I always want to be with my own family, And the Lord has shown me how I can. The Lord has shown me how I can.

While I am in my early years, I’ll prepare most carefully, So I can marry in God’s temple for eternity.
Fam’lies can be together forever Through Heav’nly Father’s plan. I always want to be with my own family, And the Lord has shown me how I can. The Lord has shown me how I can.

Two beautiful baptisms 9-6-08

Two of our nieces were baptized on the same day but at different times. One was Navy. She is Josh's sister Chris' daughter. The other one was Abby. She is Josh's sister Julie's daughter. Here is most of our family and a few other friends.

Kaylee's 1st day of 4 year old pre-school 9-3-08

My baby girl started 4 year old pre-school today! She is gone MWF from 9-11. It sure feels weird and I miss her like crazy!!! I can't believe how BIG she is getting! She is loving school this year and has seemed to have let go of me a little bit. It's hard on me on the inside but I encourage her because I know that is the right thing to do!! Pink sparkly shoes. Just what every princess needs!

Checking out the shoes
