Surprise Date

Aaron and I had to go pick up my car because we had to get it fixed. I hate when cars don't work like they should. So I wasn't too happy about having to pay another thousand to get it fixed. Aaron and I had a laugh as we were driving: We decided that putting a sign on the side of an old Suburban to advertise a limousine service wasn't the best idea, so we got a picture for fun.
Another thing that Aaron and I hate is those gravel trucks that get on the freeway with more rocks flying on the road than they have as their load. We got hit by about ten rocks by this lame truck so we got a picture so that we could scare him. Can you read his license plate number? The last time we got stuck behind one of these trucks we lost a headlight and had several rock chips everywhere. Watch out for these guys!!
Anyways, the day so far was very lame. We had to drive back home from the mechanic. Aaron had me follow him to go home. I was surprised to get off of the Lehi exit. Aaron knew I was not happy and so we went to Thanksgiving point and watched a movie. That made me happy.
After the movie we got some icecream. Aaron really likes rasberry sorbet!
mmmm, and I got smooth chocolate!
We had fun sitting and talking.
Later, we went on a walk around the grounds. Thanksgiving Point is beautiful!

They had glassblowing classes every week. There were a lot of blown glass art pieces in the gardens. They are so fun. We had a great time!

Aaron's Birthday

The Reimschiissel's had a party for Aaron on Sunday before his birthday. Look at that cake!!
Okay Aaron, now smile for the camera!!
Now, blow out the candles and make a wish!! Look how helpful:)Aaron turned 25 on October 23th. We went to the Star of India restaurant the night before, it's one of our favorites.

Before Aaron woke up I decorated the living room for his birthday. I had his presents ready to open, he was excited!He was most excited about his new journal.Later that night, we ate at Golden coral with mom and dad. The waiters sang him happy birthday and he got a rootbeer float with a candle to blow out:)

More Pumpkins. Giant Pumpkins.

Aaron has been carving pumpkins since he was 16 years old
At the Fall Festival Aaron met one of the people from the Utah Giant Pumpkin Growers association. He was invited to Hee Haws to carve a giant pumpkin. He had a choice out of a 750, 350, and a 150 pound pumpkin. He chose the 100 pound pumpkin this year. Here is the first few minutes into it.
Here is the table with Aaron's work in progress. You can see a couple of the giant pumpkins in the background. There is actually a kid climbing out of the one on the right. They were putting flour in it for the pumpkin drop later.
Here he is carving some of the detail on the mouth
He is finished. This pumpkin only made one small little girl cry:)
Any resemblance?
Aaron is waiting for the pumpkin drop to start and poses for a picture.
This is a picture of the two poor guys who had to move the pumpkin.
Here is a picture of the pumpkin that Aaron's friend Kyle Fox grew this year. It was on display at Macey's
Here they are loading a pumpkin on the crane. Channel 2 getting in on the action.
Up up up we go!
Way up high. They dropped several pumpkins.
They even dropped a couple on this car!! Aaron is so proud:)
