Carving pumpkins.....

We got our pumpkins last Monday and have been waiting
all week to carve them. Finally last night, we did....and
had lots of fun doing it. We had our friends, the Young's
over to carve with us.....we love hanging out with them.

I swear my kids favorite part is taking out the guts.....just
look at them...

They all turned out really cute. Nathan did pretty
much all the work......I did most of the talking..... :)

Jordan's is the big one on the right, with the mustache. I thought
that was pretty funny.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Finding the right one.....

We went to the pumpkin patch on Monday for Family Home Evening,
and the kids had a blast.
Here they are on the hay ride out to the pumpkins.

Cody wanted every pumpkin in sight....and wanted to carry
them also.

Ashley was easy to please. Any pumpkin I liked...she liked.

Jordan on the other hand, took forever to pick out his.
He always wants a big, perfect one. He is funny.

They also had animals. They liked the camal and there was
a baby goat walking around that was just too cute.

Trying to get a nice pic with my hubby. He kept looking
at me instead of the camera.

Next we get to carve all our pumpkins...... Can't wait!

Baptism day.....

This last Saturday, Ashley and Jordan were baptized. We were so
happy for them....and as you can see, they
were happy too. We got Jordan a new suit and their grandma
Petersen made Ashley her dress. She loved it.

Proud mom!

They were so excited to be baptized.....they couldn't stop smiling.

So the white clothes that Jordan is wearing, is the same clothes
Nathan wore when he got baptized. His mom made
them for him. So of course, Grandma had to
make some for Ashley too. I think they turned out
pretty cute.

They opened their new scriptures Sunday morning.
(Don't mind Ashley's hair.....we braided so it would be wavy for church)

Our eternal family.
We had a great day with family and friends.
Thanks to everyone who was there to share it with us.

Ashley's ear piercing

So Nathan and I decided a long time ago, we would wait until
Ashley turned 8 before she could get her
ears pierced. We thought it was fair, now that she
is old enough to be responsible for her decisions.......we let
her decide if that was something she wanted to do. Of course
it was!! She was SO excited.

There was only one person working, so they had to do one
ear at a time. She was very brave......this is her
getting her second ear pierced. You can already see
the first one.

When she was done, you could tell she was hurting. I looked at
her and said, "it's OK if you cry", and then came some
tears.

She was fine by the time we got to the car. She
had to call and tell her dad.

Our cute little girl!
