Carving Pumpkins

Saturday afternoon, while Jace was taking a nap, Lexi and I carved pumpkins...well, a pumpkin. Lexi didn't understand that we were supposed to make a face in the pumpkin, she just wanted to keep cutting away at it.

It took a lot to get her to touch the seeds...as you can tell by the fake smile. She doesn't like her hands sticky or messy.

She kept saying "cut right here." So we'd cut there. Do you love the giant hole???

The finished product...Isn't that the most beautiful piece of work you've ever seen??? Lexi was pretty excited about her very first carved pumpkin!

Oh how they grow

Lexi has always loved to sing! This first video was taken today while we were playing with playdo. The second video was taken back in April before Jace was born. There's so much difference in just 6 months!

Trick or Treat

Here in Concord they do an awesome thing for Halloween. The Friday before Halloween, they open up all the shops downtown for the kids to go trick or treating too. Everyone and their dog shows up, so it gets pretty crazy, but the kids love it - well Lexi loved the lollypops more!

Kya, Mia, and baby Boston

Of course Tyson had to dress for the occasion - thanks dad for the flight suit!

Pray for Mara

This is my little niece Mara, who's 5 years old. We just found out that she has an inoperable tumor on her brain stem, which is pretty much the worst place you could have it. They start radiation Monday or Tuesday. Seven years ago, we found out that my littlest sister had a brain tumor, and at that point, the doctors gave her only 4 months to live. She is fine now and in remission. In that regard, we saw first hand a miracle and know that the doctors are not always right, which gives us a little hope. If everyone could, say a prayer for sweet little Mara and my sister's family!

More visitors!

It's been so much fun having everyone come and visit us. My parents were here this passed weekend and we had so much fun! Here are some pictures of our fun time together.
