Carving Pumpkins!

This year my mom was down here for Halloween & so we came over to Curt & Doricca's house to carve pumpkin's on O-Hallow'-Eve! We had a blast carving pumpkins!! My pictures are a little blurry, my camera battery was almost dead & it doesn't take as good as pictures when it's almost dead!





Caramel Apples

Chris had a wonderful idea the other day! He wanted to make homemade caramel apples (well except we didn't make the caramel from scratch). We seriously had so much fun!! Sort of stressful at moments making sure the caramel didn't burn or anything like that They were super tasty as well! (Pictures are backwards so scroll all the way to the bottom and work your way up)













Mater?? Is that you??

That's right everyone!!
Tow-Mater has made it to Moab!
He has been here awhile now, not sure when he is going to be leaving!
He camps out in our local auto repair shop (Chip's) right on main street for everyone to see!
If you happen to live in Moab and didn't know he was there you should go & say HI!!
