4th Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

This is the fourth year we have had a pumpkin carving contest in our cul-de-sac. All of our neighbors come over and Maria and Gustavo come over later and judged. The kids had a great time and Kayla FINALLY won. She just about cries every year. I told her this year that if she cried this would be our last party. She won first place, no crying this time.


Getting ahead of the group, Collin and Isaiah start cleaning out a pumpkin.

Happy Birthday Tim

Today is Tim's birthday. For something different we went to Samurai, Japanese Steak and Sushi. It was a great time and the kids really enjoyed the cook show.
Happy birthday to the one I love!

Collin's Crocodile Project

Last weekend, this is what we spent our time doing. Collin had a project. I think the teachers forget they are only in second grade. Really though, Collin and Tim had a Great time working on it. I am proud of their project.

Collin got a 92. His only problem was speaking loud enough on his speech. We will work on that.
