Pumpkin Carving

 

Every year we carve our pumpkins too! I really like to do it because it makes me feel creative and like I can draw, HAHA! We have a great team effort because I don't really care to clean all the gunk out and Dave doesn't really care to carve, so he usually cleans and I carve, it works out great! We try to get Brandon to dig out the stuff but he REALLY doesn't like to touch the insides, although he did help me carve out the smiley face pumpkin. Surprisingly he did really good!! It is lots of fun for all of us!

Pumpkin Patch 2009

 

This year we went to two different pumpkin patches. The first one was with Dave's work people and earlier in the month so we didn't buy our pumpkins then. The second one was really fun, they had all kinds of stuff to do, almost like a real pumpkin patch, it was at least on a real farm. We, of course, took a hay ride around the farm and then Dada and Brandon picked out the pumpkins together. That is their thing to do every year. Isa absolutely loved it, she kept trying to pick up the pumpkins and grunting while she bent over! Too funny!

SOCCER

 

Here is our future soccer star in the making. He does real well with the technical stuff but needs a little help being a bit more aggressive. Dave & I are working on that with him at home, showing him how to push with out the ref seeing! HAHA

He is loving it but is pretty tired after the game, a whole hour of running around really wears kids out. :)

Tide Pools Again

 

We went to the tide pools again! This place is really fun because the kids get so excited and it is FREE!!!!! Gosh don't I have a great looking family! HAHA
