Revenge of the Pumpkin...

When you toss dozens of pumpkins off your roof every November for years on end, I guess it is bound to happen that one of the seeds takes root. ‪#‎HeyFreePumpkins‬!

This beauty showed up on the middle of our otherwise drought tolerant landscape.

Our porch becomes a gathering spot the first week of November for smashable gourds

So lovely...

Who needs shot put...

Fly away!

Some of them work better with a platter.

I can't say that I knew from the beginning how the transformation would happen from Super Model to Super Mom, but I have sure been blessed along the way. I'm thankful every day for the gift!


I'm sure to be busted for mentioning this, but meet Miss South Orange County!


Yeah, she has always been way smarter than me... even in a modeling shoot.


My Girls!


This sums it all up. She is the catalyst for building spiritual strength in our kids.


Yes, she can do it all. Payson made cookies from scratch tonight, and Mariah can run any power tool in the garage. She teaches them all.


She leads the way in teaching the kids to work.


And looks cute on a ladder...


Don't know what is more beautiful, her creations, or how she teaches the kids along the way.


Who needs Bob? We have Mom.


This is happening right next to me now with another kid while I upload pictures.


Teaching tenderness.


Every kid's number one fan!


And still a beauty queen to me.
