Pumpin carving and a family tradition

Every Halloween Ethan is uber excited about picking out and carving his pumpkin.....until the carving begins! He LOVES to draw the picture on the face of the pumpkin and watch daddy do the carving but he REFUSES to get his hands in the "pumpkin goo"...year after year it's the same thing.

Devin, in costume doesn't have ANY problem with the goo!

 Brennen did double duty this year and carved two pumpkins. The pumpkin in hand was the smallest one we had....
 ...the one on the far left is the other one he did. He was SUPER excited to carve this one because it has a lump where he created a swollen eye. Here is the line-up:
Brennen (#1) is on the far left, then Ethan, Devin and Brennen (#2....it's a mangled face, oh boy).
 Our family tradition....werewolf fingers, Frankenstein fingers, and (not shown) mummy fingers (check out this link for a picture).
Happy Halloween!

I'm going there someday!

Okay, I've already been there but went to walk around the grounds today with Ethan. We got some great pictures of the Temple & Ethan.

So, as I'm sure you can guess ANY body of water is a HUGE hit with an almost 5 year old.

Ethan got to go into the waiting area of the Temple when he announced to me with great energy that he had to go to the bathroom. This is where we ended up and he insisted on the poses.

LOVE the doors!

 I feel so blessed to have been able to be married in such a special place, it truly is the house of the Lord.

 Again, just gorgeous!

 Look at that smile!

 Holiness to the Lord, House of the Lord!

What a handsome little guy!
