Giant Pumpkin
Look at this GIANT pumpkin! My dad worked hard all spring and summer to grow huge pumpkins. We were lucky to be the recipients of his biggest one. He and my step mom had to roll the thing out of their car, across our sidewalk, and then it took the 3 of us to roll it up the front steps. My dad thinks that the pumpkin weighs about 150 pounds! I don't think that we will get around to carving it. Instead, I think it will sit on our front porch through Thanksgiving as a fall decoration. Then what? I'm not sure. It will have to be destroyed somehow to get it into the garbage can!
Homemade Applesauce
My kids have a new favorite food, Homemade Applesauce. It is so easy and it is delicious!
4 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a saucepan combine apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon. Cover, and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until apples are soft. Allow to cool then mash with a fork or potato masher.

Aubrey
This is a picture of my friend Aubrey and her family at the beach in California. Isn't it a great picture? Aubrey made the decision to go through the temple this past weekend and so I wanted to make a special "congratulations" post for her. I am a horrible, awful friend who let the date catch up much too fast and forgot to make the arrangements to be there. I am sorry for that Aubrey. I hope your day was wonderful! Congrats.

Disneyland 2008
We made it home from an amazing trip to Disneyland! The car ride was nice, the weather was great, the boys were so brave, the rides were fun, the food was good and our hotel bed was comfortable (I'm dying to get a new mattress). It was crowded there this year, but that is our only complaint. The boys went on every ride that they were tall enough for--which included Space Mountain for Nixin and the Tower of Terror for Jack--and loved them all. It was a much needed vacation and we had a wonderful time.
