Pumpkin Carving

Grandma Sue and Grandpa Kit bringing the giantic pumpkins. Alex carrying the treats because the pumpkins are too big.

Alex decorating them.

Alex did a great job of showing us how to carve the pumpkins and for the most part me stayed true to what he wanted. One pumpkin was all circle and the other was squared with Allan's added touches.

Alex is shooting all the bad guys.

Enormous Pumpkins

Look at all the fun when Grandpa Kit digs for huge pumpkins and Grandma Sue brings new pillow cases.
The new way to carve pumpkins!

No one of these pictures turned out. Always one of us was looking away.

Bapitism

This weekend I got bapitized. It was a great day. Mom, Kit, Laura, and Matt came out. I was a little nervous but it was easier than I thought it would be. Thanks to such great missionairies and Tracy for guiding me and the right direction. Nothing could have made this week any better if we were sick. Hopefully no one else got sick.

Batman and Spider Man

We started dressing up early. Donovan was being spiderman so Alex wanted to dress up. Thanks to Grandma Sue for the capes.

Here is Trinity. No costume for her. I was going to go get the duck costume Alex had when he was this little but I never did. I think I am going to make here a candy corn this year. I just have to get it done. I know only one picture of poor Trinity.

The best part about all this dressing up is we have some good video. It is forever long so you'll have to come to our house if you want to watch it.

San Diego Trip

First stop fish seeing spot. This octopus was very active. Allan took an amazing picture.

Getting eaten by a shark!

Second stop the beach!!! Wow was the water cold. Alex didn't want anything to do with it and Donovan loved it.

Alex liked digging though.

Donovan being tackled by the waves.

San Diego Zoo. What a big zoo and we walked it all.

Two monkeys!

This Panda was pretty funny. After eating it turns around on the rock and poops. The takes a long nap.

Donovan biff it trying to get off.

Fish with Grandpa Joe

This was a great day to go fishing. We went up to Moon Lake and fished in our special spot. I thought for sure we would have no luck but our fishing luck has changed. Donovan threw and two second later he is telling me I got one mom. I think no way and next thing I know he has a fish and asking me to get it off the hook.
Everyone fishing. Donovan got sick while we were fishing but he still had a good time.

So this is funny. Grandpa Joe was gutting the fish and we were letting Alex pretend to catch fish. Well there was just enough bait on the hook to catch of fish. Alex is slowly reling in his line when Donovan tells me that Alex has a fish. I am think no it is just the current. So I say go help him because I am holding Trinity. Alex of course won't let him so LeighAnn starts to help him and the next thing we know Alex caught the biggest fish. By accident.

The boys had a good time and were both exhausted. Alex liked touching the fish but not eating it.

For the boys

Love you guys. Sorry no pictures of helicopters but video out of helicopter is good stuff.
