Since our favorite soldier has not been able to put these up himself (the internet isn't so reliable in the middle of a war I guess) we chose a few of our favorites that he has sent us and hope to be getting more soon. This last one is the place where he calls home for the next year. We are so proud of him and are thankful for his sacrifice. While we sleep in our comfy beds, he has given up many of life's modern conveniences. He is tougher than us! We love you Dad!

Halloween Goodies
The girls and I found these cute halloween cupcake ideas and decided to try them out. They turned out pretty darn cute, we must admit. And it was lots of fun too... what a bonus!
Coloring the frosting was my job, and the kids helped do the rest.
The best part... sampling the final project to make sure we did it all right.
OK, so this has nothing to do with halloween cupcakes, but while we were decorating the treats, I was also trying to get my Noah to finish his dinner. Apparently he wasn't that hungry since his dinner roll became a giant monster that engulfed Obi-wan Kenobi. All that's left are his feet. Poor Obi-wan. I had to take a picture of Noah's silliness/ cleverness.

Final harvest has arrived
Look at those beauties! They are almost to beautiful to cut off the vine.
We practised the day before... Noah wanted a picture of himself pretending to pick the pumpkin... notice the look on his face as he pretends to be pulling the pumpkin really hard!
The big day finally arrived and many of the neighbor friends came to participate. Grandpa provided the donuts and chocolate milk. Then everyone scouted out which one they wanted.
Noah liked rolling his pumpkin so much that he rolled it all the way to the car.
Time to pose with their treasures
After pumpkin picking, playground playing, and such various fun, the ladies found the carrot patch and found some gi-normous ones to take home too. It was a really fun event and we have decided that all that gardening work all spring and summer was so very worth it!!
