Pumpkins

This weekend Aaron's sister wanted to get together and carve pumpkins. It was so much fun. I love fall and nothing gets you in the spirit of Halloween better than carving pumpkins. We all had our own pumpkin to carve, although mine wasn't quite as elaborate as everyone else's. As you can see below Aaron is getting a little too into it. That knife was almost bigger than the pumpkin.



Aaron with all of his pumpkin guts. He had the biggest pumpkin, it took him forever.


The finished product! Mine of course is the little monster on the left and Aaron's is the scary face on the right. His mom's is the skull and his sisters is the boo. For all you hygiene girls does my pumpkin not remind you of the plaque monster from are puppet show.

Happy 90th Birthday Grandma!

Yesterday we had the opportunity to celebrate my Grandma's 90th birthday. It was so fun. We had a big family party and it was great to see people I haven't seen in years. Unfortunately Aaron couldn't make it. He is hunting with his dad and has been gone since Tuesday. I am missing him like crazy and cannot wait until he comes home. We are so grateful for my grandma. She is so special and I am so glad that Aaron has had the chance to get to know her. Happy birthday Grandma, we love you!

What a Week!

Most of you know that I go to Dental Hygiene School at Dixie. Every year we have to participate in homecoming week and be in the parade. We all had to dress up as tooth fairies, teeth, and fluoride super heros. It was really fun this year, I have grown so close to these girls and although I will be happy to graduate in May, I will be very sad to leave everyone.

We spent conference weekend in Nephi with my family. It was so fun. Every year we go up the canyon between sessions and take pictures with the fall leaves. I love when the leaves change color, it is so beautiful. I am so glad we have been able to spend so much time at home with our families. We are so blessed.




During conference weekend we started a new tradition. My sisters, my mom, and I decided it would be fun to be domestic and make crafts together. My mom found all of these things that we could make for halloween and they turned out so cute. I am so glad that we did it. Aaron will probably deny it if you ask, but he loves when I bring home new crafts for the house. I wanted to take a break a few times and Aaron told me I had to keep going and get them done. He sat next to me the whole time I did the pumpkin, just so I would get it done.







Aaron and I decided we needed a night out and thought it would be fun to go cook us up some smores. We went up to the mountains in Ephraim, where Aaron actually proposed. It was the first time that we have been back to that place and it was so great being able to spend time with each other. We had a lot of fun.


Pretty sure I burned that one a bit!

A pipeline broke at my parents house a couple weekends ago and Aaron volunteered to do the dirty work so my dad didn't have to. He made quite the mess!
