The first pumkins of the Season

Grandma Maria and Grandpa Eldon came up for conference weekend. Grandma brought a pumpkin from her garden so we got to carve it. It was a lot of fun. I got to scoop out the pumpkin guts. Oh the joys of being a mom.

I thought I got an after picture too, but I guess not. It was good I promise. Now it is in the first stages of decay, so I'm going to put it in the compost bin.

Pictures in Canada

My family came to visit and we went to Canada, just to say we had been. Here are a few pictures with flags to prove it.

Another one Down

I think this makes three projects. This is a set of bedside tables to match a Mission style stickley bed. They turned out really well, except for a few minor details which you will not notice unless I disclose them, so I won't. I did want them darker, but there isn't much I can do about that now.

At the Fair

I entered my horse in the Fair this year. It was a lot of fun. I participated in the Western and English Equitation and Pleasure classes. I also did the gaming which are speed events like barrels and poles and an obstacle course. I got 3 3rd place ribbons and 22 bucks. It was a good learning experience as almost everything was new to me and everything was new to my horse. Scout (my horse) showed a lot of potential.

Scout all trimmed and polished in his stall at the fair.


Me in all but my helment english riding get up. I love the pants. NOT!

Wyatt also got to go on his first rollercoster he loved it.

Baseball

Wyatt got a baseball glove. He wanted one because Daddy and Grandmpa Mike have one and he wanted to play, but the gloves were all too big. Anyway he was so happy when he got his that he was too busy looking at his mitt to play. Too Cute. He has had fun and isn't too bad for a 3 year old.
