Photo Tag

I was tagged by Sherrie to do this and thought it was a fun and different tag to do. I had to post the 4th picture from the 4th folder. This was a snowman my mom and the boys made clear back in October of 2006. I thought the leaves were a nice touch! I tag anyone who's up for doing it! It's a quick and easy one!

2nd Annual Inkom Ward Harvest Cook-Off

Our ward had a great activity this past Saturday! It was a cook-off with several categories we could enter. The categories were soups, rolls/breads, desserts, desserts made by kids, and pumpkin carving. We entered the soup and pumpkin carving categories and to my surprise I won first place for my soup....yummy homemade chicken noodle soup! (Gotta love how they spelled Thuernagle! Ha!) Our pumpkins didn't win but I thought they were pretty neat so check 'em out below!

What could it be?

Caleb worked all afternoon on his pumpkin for the contest and had many frustrations. But I was proud of him because he stuck it out and brought his pumpkin to the ward social. So...what exactly is his pumpkin carving? Scroll down to see!Amazing what a little darkness and a candle can do!

Mr. Caterpillar

Here's my pumpkin carving entry...Mr. Caterpillar. It was a lot harder to put together than I thought it was going to be, but nonetheless I was happy how he turned out!
