Finding a Happy Place

When life is just too much to handle and I can't make it to the temple to relax and let go, I like to get my hands dirty and paint. This is my happy place. This is the lastest project that I have completed.

What a witch!!!
I have a few more projects to go.



























These are just a few of the things I have to finish. I still have valentines day from earlier this year to finish. By the time I buy my next house I will have more than enough decorations to make it a home for every season.

My Little BUDDY!!!



This is my nephew Kade. He is such a fun little boy. I have been off and working from home this week and we have been doing lots of things together. He sleeps in my room almost every night, he knows I will let him watch a movie until he falls asleep. I can not tell you how many times I have seen Cars or Finding Nemo.









He is going to take after me and become a Professional Chef or a Baker. Just look at the decorating skills. He knows how to use a piping bag..................






and just like me he has to taste everything he is making.

















Pumpkin madness

This year, just like every year, we went to the local pumpkin patch and everyone picked out the pumpkin that was calling there name. This year at the pumpkin patch the weather was a cool 34 degrees and a snowflake would land on your nose every once in a while. The day we carved our pumpkins was warm, sunny and 70 degrees. That's fall in Utah for you. This kids could not wait and once Jake got the tops off the kids dove right in.






















Even Kade, the little boy who hates to get food on him, was so excited to get the guts out of his pumpkin.




























Jake has taught the girls well, so they are pros at gut removal.






Finally the finished product!!!!!!!

Bubba picked and alien this year.









We had several of the neighbors and trick-or-treaters compliment us on the number of jack-o-lanterns and how well they were carved!!!!



Happy Halloween!!!!!!
