Pumpkin Carving is Awesome!

We had our 4th annual pumpkin carving this last weekend and it was so much fun! We of course carved some pumpkins, ate lots of good food, hung out around the bonfire and I do believe there was a little bit of drinking going on too!! I carved my pumpkin the night before becuase I never get time to sit down and carve one during the party - too busy talking to everyone and taking pictures (and this year holding Lincoln - my friends 6 week old little boy). Colton carved his first pumpkin with Grandma Yvonne's help. Frankie never actually carved a pumpkin this year - he was a little too busy entertaining (and by entertaining I mean handing out shots of alcohol to unexpecting guests). We had a great time and can't wait until next years party. Here is a link to the pictures from the party (sometimes the pics get a little out of order so you might see a duplicate or two but keep watching and you will see them all - about 40!):


Colton is going to be Elmo for Halloween this year! We are very excited to take him Trick or Treating, I think he will really understand what is going on this year. And we have been practicing saying "Trick or Treat" and he is getting quite good at it! Other than that not much new, the flu hit our household two weekends ago! All three of us got sick and then my mom and my brother got it too. It was no fun at all, but hopefully it is out of our system now and we won't get it again this flu season (although I doubt we can be that lucky). Colton loves his new school. This is his 3rd week, and already I can tell how much he is learning. He is talking even more than before and in much longer sentences. And on Thursday I get to be at home with him which is awesome, I don't ever want to give it up. We sleep in (if you call 8am sleeping in), we hang out in our jammies until lunch time, we take a nap and then just chill on the couch and watch Disney movies - I am telling you it is the best day of the week. Well I think that is all, Happy Halloween everyone!

I have the Cutest Godson Ever!

Today's was Jaxx's Baptism. He was such a good little boy! I am so honored to be his Godmother. Of course the weather didn't want to cooperate this morning with the rain but everything turned out perfect anyways! God Bless you Jaxx Robert.

Jaxx and his family - including Godparents and the reverend.

Jaxx- he is just so cute! Best Godson Ever!!

Otherwise we are staying very busy - getting ready for fall and our Pumpkin Carving Party!! We went to the apple orchard again last weekend - but this time our main objective was the pumpkin patch! And Colton had a blast, he was running from pumpkin to pumpkin trying to find the perfect one! Of course he tried to pick them all up but most of them were way to heavy for him. Also the last two weeks we have been looking for new daycare for Colton and we finally found the perfect fit. Colton starts at Kinder Care tomorrow and we are so excited and relieved to again put the daycare hunt behind us. I think Colton will love it at Kinder Care - there is always something to do and he won't be spending his day in front of a TV. I am switching to four 10 hour days at work starting next week so I will get to be at home with Colton every Thursday and I am looking forward to that more than anything. Right now the weekends are always so busy so it will be nice to have a day for just me and him to hang out! Okay I think that is all for now, and remember to cheer on those Vikes tomorrow night ( I know it is hard right now)!!
