Don't act like you're not impressed

Here are our Halloween pumpkins! Annalie picked out the witch, Malorie wanted the cat and Matt and I got to carve them! It was actually quite fun and I think that they turned out pretty cute. We are hesitant to put them out on the porch because we have already seen some smashed pumpkins around the neighborhood! I guess we will wait until the big night to put them out but they are dang cute!

We went country, then we came back

Over the weekend we went to Scottsbluff, NE to visit one of Matt's friends from the Marine Corp. It was really quite fun. We forgot our camera so we are hoping that Matt's friend will send us some photos. Annalie and Malorie got to ride one of their horses and Matt and I got to go out back and shoot some clay pigeons. Yep, we were that country. It was a nice get away and it was fun to spend some time with the girls and go swimming and get away from our normal routine. It was fun to visit a small town but it is nice to be back in our big city.

The Great Pumpkin

We went to the pumpkin patch with Sarah and Chad and had a fun time! The weather was perfect! The pumpkin patch was HUGE. We found three pretty good size pumpkins to bring home for carving at a later date. We were also able to find some pretty tastey carmel apples for eating immediately.

Her Father's Daughter

The other night we were eating pizza as a family. After expressing that I was full Matt agreed that he was also full but he was going to finish the piece that he had just started (yes, he makes it a competition with himself). Matt starts shoving the pizza in his mouth just bite after bite and I said, "Honey, stop. That's gross." Annalie joined in and said, "Yeah Dad, stop it." and Malorie looks at Matt and said, "Come on Dad! You can do it!"

I guess it is good that Matt has someone on his side.
