Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins for family home evening Monday and had some great helpers!

We gave Miles a small pumpkin to keep him entertained and it did the trick!

Halle put on her "pumpkin carving shirt" and went to work. She cleaned the entire thing out, then put the face that she wanted carved on it.
Bennett was not a fan of cleaning out his own pumpkin, it took him just about 5 years to clean it out. He then drew his own face on it...we think it looks surprisingly similiar to his own features.
What a fun way to light up the night...hopefully the pumpkins will last until Halloween!!

Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State!

We can finally "publicly" announce-

We have accepted a job in the great and wonderful state of Texas.
Rice University to be exact.
We have FOUR weeks to get there...(like I have been really good at blogging anyway) so you won't notice much of a difference on here.
We are excited and thrilled for this next step.
So...if you live in the Houston area- please please please contact me. We are working at getting a place to live and letting everything else fall into place. Woohoo-
**Also- if you want to live in Vegas...let us know. We might have a great deal on a super cute home...

Walking Man

Seems like Miles was a tad bit slow on the crawling idea, but now that he has it down it has taken no time to learn how to climb the stairs, or walk along the furniture.I tend to question how those small feet can hold his HUGE body... He is a GREAT helper doing dishes (hasn't broken anything yet)

And loves walking along the sofa

Halle's second soccer game

Hoping for a story of success with the second soccer game?With a bribe of going to "Poppies" (an icrecream place here)we talked about it ALLLLL week
Yet, during the warm up she started crying, A-G-A-I-N. sat the entire game on the sidelines...NOT picture worthy.seriously???

Love Cookies

I have some really cute cookie monsters..

A normal face from Halle?? Probably because she has cookie stuffed in her mouth.
Maybe this is a smile?
And a super cute cookie monster...who LOVES to hold his own cookie.

oh and ps, is completely mobile now.

1st Soccer Game

Halle had her first soccer game, and she played the first 3 minutes than came screaming off the field. We thought she got kicked or something... nope, the kids weren't sharing the ball.

Here's to a better game next week.

Crazy Hair Day

On Friday Halle had crazy hair day- I thought she did pretty well coming up with her do.
