Carving Pumpkins

Aaron had fun carving a pumpkin at the Country Farm Fest in October
He is happy to be half way done!!
Here he is as he begins to carve out the mouth.
They had a poster with a little about Aaron that people could read
..adding more detail
Here are a few of the tools he uses: mostly wood carving type tools and clay tools.
That looks painful!!
It's all stitched up!!
Look how proud. The pumpkin was auctioned off to the owner of Candies on main in Manti. It was a lot of fun.

Our walking adventures

So, a few days ago we walked to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It's nice living so close and there is always such a good feeling around there. Here's a few pictures of our adventure: This is our favorite picture we got on our walk. Aaron got this picture and we are going to hang it on our wall. It reminds me of a scripture in D&C 88:7 ,"This is the light of Christ..he is the light of the sun"Here is the front view. As you can see we got there as the sun was about to go down. But it was so pretty. The dedication was awesome as well. We're glad we got to be a part of it.
It's weird seeing people there and knowing it's open now since we've seen it under construction and helped out with the open house for so long.
Here we are on the way back:)
Aaron's the king of the world! haha
....ooops, watch out for the mud Aaron!!
Another day we went up with Aaron's friend to see the view of Kennecott Copper Mine. This is on the way up.
Here is a picture I got of one of the side roads. The lighting was just perfect .
Here's is the mine. It is so big!!
We stayed until after sunset. Here we are walking up the hill. The view was awesome all around.
The lights of the Salt Lake Valley.

El Jaripeo taco stand !

Our favorite place to get tacos so far is called El Jaripeo. This place is awesome. Just say, "Seis tacos de asada y un burrito de asada tambien por favor. " and you'll be handed six beef tacos and a beef burrito . They'll put the meat on the tortilla and hand it to you so you can put whatever sauces, cabbage, cilantro, radishes, onions, etc that you want and then they'll wrap it up for you.
Here we are! You can also get tacos from the cow head, toungue, or stomach. You can also choose pig skin if you want. I'm not a big fan of those. So we stayed with the traditional carne asada. Chelsea is about to load up her burrito with a ton of yummy stuff:)MMMMMM. Six tacos for me:)
pretty
Then you add some lime soda....and the nacho libre movie and the meal is complete:)
