Carving pumpkins at Grandma Russell's






Sunday night we went to Grandma's to carve pumpkins and have a birthday dinner for Makayla since she turned 13 on the 24th. I can't believe how the years fly by it seems like yesterday Makayla was so small and she didn't like boys or even care what she looked like. I wish I could get those days back atleast that part anyways! Well anyways back to the carving of pumpkins. It is a tradition in our family to carve pumpkins every year a couple of days before Halloween and we love it. Since the kids are getting older it's especially fun for me because I just get to watch instead of carving. Jada thinks she is sooo big that she didn't want any help at all and she carved hers without even using a pattern. I was afraid she might cut her arm off but we made it through without any trips to the hospital so that was great! The girls pumpkins turned out great and Kinsley and I had a fun time watching. Daddy stayed home sick so we only had 2 pumpkins this year but that's plenty.

Karen's Reception/Party




Well it has been awhile but hey I'm a busy women! Between kids,work,cleaning and everything else I just don't know how I will ever get caught up. Maybe someday when I'm 80 or so I'll have more time for myself and by then I won't want any! One of my best friends got married on the 10th of October and her Party was a blast it was so fun to get together with all the girls and hubbies! We all had a great time and the wedding was beautiful! Karen was so happy she was giddy and she couldn't stop laughing once she started. I wasn't so sure she would be able to get out the words I DO but she did and it was a great day! I will post some pictures I took at the ceremony later. Well I'll catch ya later that's all the time I have for now.
