Carvin' Pumpkins

Halloween has set in. We carved our pumpkins. Mine is the one with the apple smelling lysol (science experiment).








I suppose I can claim the one in the Starwars Pajamas as well.

lots more than this going on

Just a quick peek into some things and a quick word about them. Very cute playhouse in the making, very nice shelves and cabinetry for around the fireplace in the basement filling the shop as well. The kittens are growing up and feel like humans, at least they think they are. Pomegranates are being juiced- will they work even though they are pink? And lastly, the caruthers fair had a nice booth full of family and prop 8. Vote Yes on prop 8 to protect and restore traditional marriage!

Today I caught a glimpse of Heaven

Today I caught a glimpse of heaven. One of my favorite hymns is I Know Heavenly Father Loves Me. How do I know this? I know because he loves me so much that he sends me miracles. I was home today with Allison. She decided she wanted to play with her daddy. She began by encouraging me to chase her around the couch in circles. Not long after I began chasing her, she was looking for me to disappear around the corner. Each time I did she started to laugh, and each time I found her she ran away giggling. Eventually daddy grew tired and dropped flat on the living room floor, but Alli wasn't finished yet. She walked over to me and lifted up my shirt so she could pat my belly. She found this to be funny. Each time she patted me she looked at me with her gorgeous blue eyes and smiled. I was feeling happy to have her. Suddenly she stopped, layed her head on my chest, wrapped her beautiful chuuby little arms around my neck and squose with all her might. Afterwards she lifted her head and cheerfully said, "daddy!" and gave me a big kiss on the cheek. I was filled with the spirit and thought to myself, "this is how God sees us, his children." I am so greatful for the little miracles. I knew then that the Lord loved me enough to send me Allison. She brings such great joy to my life. I am also greatful for the knowledge I have that families can be together forever. Today I caught a glimpse of heaven.

We Campped some, and beached some.

Then our house exploded.

We called a pose, but they were all gums.

When their flaw was known they made a quick get away in gunny sacks.

Happy Birthday Mark!

He got sang to early on Sunday night with yummy cupcakes and then last night we had kabobs on Jonny's new grill and ate a yummy black forest cake. Isn't this a cute one of Ali? His birthday candles got lost in translation so he got one big fat one!
