More pumpkin pictures!

Here are some more pumpkin pictures!  Josh didn't get his done because it's enormous and he was helping Hudson. :-)  He'll finish his up tomorrow night!

Cleaning out all the guts.  Ryan dug right in to get to work on his, Hudson wasn't very sure but did it with a little help, Cole was talking to himself saying things like "I got your heart!  I got your other heart!  Ugh, you took my guts!"  LOL!  It was pretty funny...even if it was slightly creepy!

Ryan working hard on his pumpkin and very happy with the outcome! :-)

Josh working on Hudson's pumpkin and Hudson coloring on the other side. :-)

Cole and his finished pumpkin.  He told me, I want my pumpkin just like Ninja Cole's pumpkin but bigger! :-)

Our awesome pumpkins!

Ryan's and Puffle's pumpkins up top...my silly one on the bottom. :-)

One last look. :-)  Pretty spooky right?!

Our Pumpkin Practice Run

So, we were supposed to carve pumpkins tonight, but Hudson and Cole fell asleep before dinner.  Rather than wake them up and deal with sadness, we let them sleep.  Ryan had picked out two pumpkins, a big one and a small one.  So I told him he could carve the small one tonight.  Cole woke up shortly into the carving process so we let him carve his small pumpkin too.

This was Ryan's first year doing everything on his own.  I have to say, him using the knife was a little scary, but he was so good at listening to what we told him and being safe.  Cole did all the clean out on his own.  Then he told me EXACTLY what he wanted carved into it.  I have to say they did really great! :-)

Getting all the guts out!

Posing with their pumpkins. :-)

The finished product all aglow!  Stay tuned for all of our pumpkins tomorrow! :-)

Our Happy Halloween!!

For the second year in a row, Ryan decided he wanted to be something that they don't make costumes for his size. So I had to make it again. I actually think I didn't do too bad! :-) Cole was the cutest little bear!!

We had a really great Halloween. Ryan was such a good boy and Cole did GREAT! We picked Josh up from work and then went down by the lake to take some pictures and trick or treat. After that we went to our ward's trunk or treat. It was really fun! The boys got SOOOO much candy!! Seriously almost two full buckets! So yeah, we are going to have candy for a while.

Crazy Blogger...

Okay for some reason, Blogger is not allowing me to post the pictures and the post in the same post...weird. Anyway, these are pics of our past few weekends. Josh took Ryan fishing, and then while I napped with Cole, Ryan showered and they played with his hair and the shampoo. :-) Wookie also got to come and visit us, so we had a really nice fall Saturday and went to the park.

Yesterday, we went to a Harvest Fest and the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins. :-) Ryan had LOTS of fun getting his face painted, doing all the little activities, for each one they did, they got a piece of candy...and shooting a paintball gun for the first time. He LOVED it! He kept talking about it all day! Cole enjoyed being carried around in the front pack by daddy. After that we headed to the pumpkin patch to get our perfect pumpkins and see the animals. Ryan loved all the animals, but was really excited to feed the goats. Ryan really wanted to feed one goat, he and Josh tried to call the goat over to them, but it kind of glared at them and then turned his back. LOL! So we called him the grumpy goat! So that's about it for us...I'll try to be better about posting things as they happen. :-)
