Saturday was our family day and we decided to decorate and carve pumpkins we each got a pumpkin me and the kids decorated ours, and Chris carved his. It was really fun! I got the idea from one of my many craft websites that I frequent. Neither Carson nor Lilli would dare reach into the pumpkin to pull out the "guts" they were disgusted by the idea! Let's see my pumpkins were the mini ones that I turned into bats. Carson's was the Dracula pumpkin which he calls Chocula, and he had him sit next to him the next day on the couch. He says it's his friend and he needed him to help him watch football. Lilli's was the witch, Landon's the mummy and Chris's is the carved one in the middle. It was a fun activity the kids really enjoyed it and me and chris had a good time!
So after my parents got back from Italy we decided to throw Landon and Lilliana a joint birthday party to celebrate since my parents were gone for the actual days. My mom as usual was wonderful, went into party planning mode, went all out and made it a truly wonderful birthday party for the both of them. It was a joint party but my mom did a great job to still have it be an individual celebration for the both of them.
We took the kids to go see their cousin Jack play in his little league football game, something Carson loved doing with his Uncle Daniel when we were in Utah. They had fun and Jack's team won so that was great! My mom was playing with Landon and he is such a ham that I had to catch a few pictures! It was a sunny day and I was trying to get him to wear a hat, my mom was making him laugh to distract him so he'd leave the hat on. He's got such a wonderful smile that really lights up your day! All three of the kids have dimples, but Landon's got huge dimples that are so prominent when he smiles! They are soo cute and he's got two teeth now so when he smiles it's the cutest thing!
Carson wanted to say hi to his Grandpa Gary and let him know that he misses him and loves him very much. Oh and yes that is Lilli's leg coming in at the end and kicking him in the face...everyone is okay though no need to worry! Just a little sibling rivalry I guess.

We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)
We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?"

(A little rude.)
