Pumpkin Carving

One of my favorite things to do this time of year is carve pumpkins. My boys love doing it too. We got some pumpkins this morning and carved them out. The boys were so excited to do it, then when it came time to "gut" the pumpkin they lost their interest. Haha! I don't know what it is about my kids but the have some major texture issues. They will gag and freak out if anything gets them too slimy or dirty. So I gutted them alone. But it was worth it. :) Then we made pumpkin seeds and fed the junk to the chickens. By the time we were done everyone was very satisfied with the end result. It is going to be fun to light them up tonight and watch them glow. 

He didn't like the slime in his clothes:)

He wanted a mustache on his. 


Oh I love fall!

My Heavenly Father Loves Me






What a beautiful evening! The boys and I went on a walk this evening and what a show we had. The wind was calm and coyotes were talking, the doves were cooing. And to top it off we had this view of the sun setting. It all reminded me of the primary song "My Heavenly Father Loves Me". I am so blessed to know that this world and all of its beauty is for me. I can look around and see all the details of each individual part of it. It is just glorious. I have no doubt in my being that this world was created by my Heavenly Father. It did not happen by chance. 

Here are my boys enjoying the evening walk. 



Run run as fast as you can ...
We had a wonderful walk!









Boiled Eggs!


So yesterday I made some hard boiled eggs for myself. The boys saw me eating one and panicked. "Mama your eating the shell!" I explained to them how I cooked it and let them each peel one and taste them. What a difference in reactions! Marshall thought they were wonderful. Monte said they were not his favorite. Haha! That's a nice way of saying he hated them. Marshall ate 2 yesterday and 2 for breakfast this morning. Here are some pictures of their initial reactions. 





It's so wonderful that I have two very wonderful and yet very different children. I am so blessed. I love them dearly.
