Pumpkin Carving

We finally carved our pumpkin this afternoon. Caroline tried to pick up the seeds, they were very slippery, and of course she tried to eat them too! She got both of her hands in the pile of pumpkin guts that came out before carving...not like Aunt Celeste who doesn't like that stuff to touch her. It was a fun task...maybe next year we'll do it a little earlier so we can enjoy it a bit longer. Happy Halloween!

Ooooooo...pumpkin guts!

Bee-utiful Halloween Pictures

Monday we went to have pictures taken in Caroline's Halloween costume. She was very cooperative and enjoyed trying to eat the pumpkins and fake flowers there at the studio. Caroline definitely knows what to do when she sees the camera...she turns on the "ham" to the largest degree! We do plan on trick-or-treating but maybe to just a few houses! Happy Halloween everyone!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

We went out to the pumpkin patch by our house on Sunday, October 25th, to see if we could find some picture taking opportunities to remember Caroline's first trip there. The weather was beautiful and there is really a lot of things to do (it will be really fun in a year or two)...there were tons of mounds of pumpkins to take pictures with and there were games and a hay and train ride (we passed on that this time around). We took some pictures and given that Caroline was way past her nap time...they turned out pretty good!

Caroline was really checking out the pumpkin!

This one is just my size!Family Picture...say Cheeeeeeeeese!

Our Trip to Michigan

Okay, so it's been several weeks since I've posted anything on this blog page. Sorry for the delay but we've been so busy! I have a lot to catch up on. Mid-September we had a good two weeks worth of traveling...Kevin and I were in Oklahoma for a weekend to attend a wedding and then we flew home to pick up Caroline and then headed back to the airport to head up to Michigan. Kevin had some work to do and Caroline and I tagged along because we wanted Caroline to meet her family up in Michigan. We had a great time...we stayed with Aunt Shelly, Butch, Megan and Madison...Caroline's first time staying in a basement (us Texas folks really don't need them) and we had a great time. We also got to meet up with Great Grandpa Wiseman and Aunt Gail, Uncle Chape, Brad, Kristin and Caden. We had such a nice night visiting with them and catching up. We enjoyed the cooler weather, it was so nice to get out of the Texas heat!

The grass up in Michigan is so much softer and is very different...Caroline liked it
