Pumpkin Time

We carved pumpkins the other day with our friends the Harris family. Daniel LOVED it. He loved scooping out the guts and he loved having friends over. We didn't have a working printer and didn't like the faces that came with the carving kit so Jason drew one. It was great but then Daniel thought it was much more fun to draw on the pumpkin.





Alice did not think so highly of the pumpkin guts.




This is my favorite room in our house, our kitchen. Alice loves it too.




These are some last memories of us living with Grandma. Daniel and Abby had many a days like this. Abby wanted everything that Daniel had or some days Daniel wanted only what Abby had. This is a good example of the end of one of those days.



This is just an adorable outfit on an adorable little girl.



One day we will be moved in and it will be awesome. Some of Daniel's new things are that he has Jason's old office phone and he calls everyone on it and has pretend conversations for many minutes. It is pretty cute. Alice just really likes trying to crawl. I will try to get some pictures of that soon.

Looks like a fun time. Anna isn't sure what to think about pumpkin guts. It will be interesting to see the difference with Evan - boys are so different than girls. I love your kitchen too, but you already knew that ;) It was fun hanging out and catching up the other day. We need to do it again.

Sunday School Lesson on The Revelation

I teach Gospel Doctrine, or basically a bible study class at my church. It is one of my favorite things to do. This week I went a little insane and ended up doing a lot of prep work and just wanted to share it. We always run out of time to study the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, because it comes at the end, and always around Christmas time and everyone does Christmas lessons instead. This year I decided to battle the beast (pun intended) and taught a crash course in Revelation in 35 minutes or less. Obviously I had way more than material than we got to go through. Half of these handouts came from BYU Studies website, which is an amazing source of information if you are looking at a deeper view of your scripture reading. Another help was the Ensign come follow me article this month by Nicholas Frederick. Handouts There's a lot more info that's in my class notes if you would like that as well. Class Notes

Whale Watching in San Francisco

My sister and her family came all the way from Idaho to visit us. Naturally we had to take them to the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a typical July day, foggy, freezing, windy and crowded. We battled people on bikes and with strollers and the wind to walk onto the bridge. We had just made it to the first tower when we noticed a whale watching tour boat and joked about how cool it would be if there was suddenly a whale that came out of the water. About ten seconds later, A WHALE CAME OUT OF THE WATER! It didn't ever do the complete National Geographic flip over or show it's tail, but there was a Humpback Whale feeding, and it kept coming up to eat. It was amazing. AMAZING. We spent almost 40 minutes watching the whale, possibly whales at the time. There was one in particular that came over, right below us the kids could all see it, and it was so close we could see the barnacles on the mouth, and it rolled and was putting on quite the show for us. It was an amazing sigh

Sewing Quilts with Daniel

Daniel is not one to sit still very often at all. My parents say that he is totally my son and that I drove my mom crazy too but frankly I can't remember that far back. There is one thing that Daniel loves to help me with, and that is sewing. He loves the machine and loves to sit in my lap as we sew anything. Sometimes I think about just sewing straight lines down my endless supply of fabric because I know he will sit still for awhile. A few months ago I had a good friend show me how to make rag quilts. The first one that Daniel and I sewed together was for my niece Abigale. Then of course I had to make one for my nephew Joshua. Then I decided to make one for Daniel. I was going to make a transportation one, full of trucks and planes and boats, but when I took him to the fabric store, much to my surprise and delight he chose dragons over the airplanes. So we started his quilt last week. He sat on my lap or next to me while we sewed every piece together. He was so excited
