Life on Jars #18: June 28, 2009

Special guests Lydia and Morrigan join Rachel as co-hosts for this week's Life on JARS featuring a game of Cache Cab (a gameshow exclusively about Jennifer Walker in honor of her birthday and based on questions from her friends from all phases of her life as well as her family). Will the cousins earn spending money for Jen or wind up on the roadside hitching their way to Lagoon? We finish with a something random throwback from Ren and Stimpy.

We've got a bonus father's day Life on Jars for you this week, featuring our best Open Up a Can of JARS ever. Rachel flashes her steel smile, Sam shows off Lego Transformers that are more than meets the eye. We cap things off with a musical spoonerism that must be heard to be believed.

Rachel does her very best seal impersonation (the mammal, not the 90s pop singer). We open open up a can of JARS for the second episode in a row. Built by JARS tackles our biggest project yet, and Rachel turns back the clock with our first Life on JARS flashback. Jen makes not one but two rare appearances!

Every other week

Life on Jars is going to an every other week format, we just need a way to make Sundays a bit less hectic.

Life on Jars #15: May 31, 2009

We mourn the passing of our cantaloupe and watermelon (alas poor fruit, we knew thee). Sam opens up a can of JARS and Rachel opens up a can of helium. Up! gets a glowing review, viewers are cautioned from combining pickles and cheese.

Life on Jars #14: May 24, 2009

A week of fine arts, from a full orchestra to Shakespeare. Rachel and Andrew put on an acting clinic and Jife on Lars introduces . . . spoonerisms. Thanks for the inspiration Aunt Carrie! Thanks also to Randy and Larri-Lea for coming up to see the live version.

Finally...Some Photos!

This picture really sums up how I feel about our tiling project. And that's all I have to say about that.


















Easter at Grandma's house is always the BOMB! Here's Rachel decorating eggs...



















And the Sammers doin the same. If our kids look older and bigger and taller to you...it's because they ARE! Both kids have grown a TON lately. Well, maybe not a ton. But you get what we mean.















After a thrilling treasure hunt, the kids found their Easter baskets in the dryer. Hooray!












Here's Jacob doing what all good uncles do...teaching Sam how to make Jelly Belly "recipes". This new revelation was life changing for Sam!
















Proof that we went to San Diego. It was a fabulous get away--even though the weather stunk until the last day. Another big thanks to Grandma Day for staying with our kids--THANK YOU!!!!








I bought Rachel some bras a few weeks ago. She took them out of the bag and made a "brobile" out of them. She's a funny girl!

















You all saw how the Mother's Day Sticky Buns came together--but I'm here to attest that they were FABULOUS! What made them taste even better is that they were served to me in bed!











HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!













I finally have a diagnosis for my hands and feet (they turn red and feel like they're sunburned--usually at the end of the day). It's called erythromyelalgia. Good times. Good times.












Sam getting out the jitters before his performance as Friar Lawrence in Romeo and Juliet. He did a bang up job! We are SO proud of him!


















Friar Lawrence with the fabulous Mrs. Steele!
