Pumpkin carving

It’s time to have a pumpkin party in the barn.Apple Cider from Joe’s Place and Krispie Kreme donuts.    Of course dinner in the pumpkin and vegies for the healthy part.       This is a fun tradition we have done for the last few years and it started in the shop when the kids were younger.    One year Tyler Clark came and carved his pumpkin with us along with cutting himself with a knife. (Memorable)   We later moved to the garage and finally to the barn (duh the best)This is our resident Martha Stewart demonstrating  how to look fabulous while getting slimy and messy.   This year was the scary cat and the

Grim Reaper.   Casey helped with the traditional Jack-O-lanterns.Time for a cousin pose and back to carving.   Brooklyn’s spider web was awesome, especially when she put her candle in it.  Great Job Brooky B. You can’t tell very well but I see Edward Scissor Hands.   Logan should have been a surgeon.   He wields the knife like he is doing intricate cuts.   They later went home and carved another pumpkin who looked like a Gremlin. 

We ended the week with a ward trunk or treat night.   It’s always fun to wear your costume!!!  Happy Halloween. 

Conference and Olivia’s Baptism

What a great way to start the month of Oct.   Conference was always a good beginning.    The kids came over after the first Sunday session and we had a yummy brunch.   Pres. Monson’s talk “Stand in Holy Places” was good to hear.   He talked about how important it is, where ever we are, to anchor ourselves to the gospel and the teachings of the Lord and we can always be found standing for the right.    The grandkids sang us a song,  “Our prophet has some words for you, and these are the words, be true, be true and stand for the right.”

Olivia was baptized on her “8” birthday.   She looked so beautiful and her mom made the most amazing dress for her.   She is really growing up right before our eyes.   What a nice day!!!

Pumpkins, it’s time

Oh, BOY!!!   It’s time to pick the pumpkins and Logan and Baylor came over just in time.   Baylor was so excited and is so strong.   Some of those pumpkins are really heavy.    The best part is driving the tractor from the garden to the barn.   So, which is the biggest pumpkin?????   BEND OVER AND I’LL SHOW YOU!!
