awesome pumpkin family

last sunday we carved our pumpkins for halloween - david of course had to make his #9 for tony romo (he credits the cowboys win that day to his pumpkin) - i had to carve the other 3 myself since 3 year olds and 2 month olds can't exactly carve their own pumpkins - alana was very helpful when we were cleaning out the guts - she scraped her pumpkin guts into a pile and tried not to drop any seeds on the floor - she wanted her pumpkin to look like the ghost on the tablecloth - ava just sat in her bouncer seat on the table and watched us like we were crazy for touching the slimy pumpkins - her pumpkin ended up being my favorite because i carved tiny little eyelashes to make it look like her - my pumpkin i made with kind of lopsided features because it was really lumpy and crazy looking (my littlest nephew jayden picked it out at the pumpkin patch and i somehow ended up with it) - after carving 3 pumpkins my hand was a little tired but it was worth it because it was a fun family activity and i know someday they will be able to carve their own

alana is 3!

i can't believe how big alana is getting - yesterday she was a baby and now all of a sudden she is a stubborn 3 year old with her own ideas and opinions on what her life should be like - i really don't think she got this whole hard headed stubborness from me - there is no way i'm that stubborn - she loves everything pink, barbies and princesses, coloring and playdoh, macaroni and popsicles, her new baby sister and of course her mommy and daddy - she may be a stubborn woman but she is my stubborn woman and i guess i like her anyway

ava jordan

august of 2009 we added a second hot lady to our family: ava jordan - she is so cute and i'm so jealous of her super long eyelashes - she is the cheese to my macaroni and she definitely makes our family 100 times happier!
