Picking out the perfect pumpkins

We went to pick out the perfect pumpkins at the Vineyard Gardens Pumpkin Patch. Jackson loves loves loves pumpkins and points them out and carries them around everywhere we go. His nickname has even been "pumpkin" or "pumpkin head" since he was little.

He was so excited to put them in our wagon and push them around.

Here comes THE TERRIBLE TWO'S

So yesterday we took Jackson to a pumpkin patch to get some pumpkins and decided to do the corn maze that they had. Jackson is just discovering his free agency and has been exercising it daily. While walking through the corn maze he decided paths aren't for him- so he would randomly take off into the corn fields and we would chase after him weaving in and out of corn rows and drag him back to the path kicking and screaming. Enjoy the Show!

Welcome to our new little home! This is our living room. The back wall was a really old yucky looking wood paneling that we painted white like beadboard. With the help of Kevin's dad Monty we also took down all the old wallpaper and re-painted everywhere. I love it down here now, I think its perfect. I was so stupid and didn't take before pictures but the difference is quite impressive.


This is jackson's bedroom carpet- it is super long shag and it smells like its 50 years old, oh wait- it is!!!

I don't love Jackson's furniture set up but this is how I have it set up for right now.

Our room. Its pretty good, the carpet in this room is by far the best in the whole apartment, its a light beigeish color.

This is our entertainment center since the other one was WAY too big for this room. We got it for $99- KMart special! A big thanks to Kristi for helping me put it togethar into the wee small hours of the morning. Thanks for everyone for helping us move and to my great sister-in-laws for helping me unpack! Thank you so much guys!

Welcome Home Casey!

Welcome Home Elder Colyar! Kevin's little brother got home from his mission a few weekends ago. He served in Melbourne Australia. He even got to go an serve in Tasmania where my mom is from and meet tons of my family.

When Casey left for his mission I was very pregnant with Jackson. So he came home and met 3 new nephews. We made shirts for all the kids that said "Hello My Name is... (their name)" to introduce him to the new family members.

Meeting his Uncle for the first time. No tears- that's a good sign.



How fun to have all of the family together again.
