carving pumpkins-2010

Three pumpkins that match three personalities.

Grace wanted hers to be girly with hearts and kissy lips.

Garrett wanted his to be scary!

And Jack just wanted his pumpkin to be happy!

The seeds in Jack's pumpkin were actually sprouting! I have never seen such a thing before.

It is so great to be able to carve pumpkins outside on the back porch. It makes it so much easier to clean up the mess!

playtime at the park

Just another overcast day at the park. Jack just loves swinging and digging in the sand. You can see how dirty his feet are when he is on the swing.

10 minutes later...

Our neighbors tree fell on the trunk of their car.

This park is where all the water from our street drained into.

One of our other neighbors had their shed blow over the fence!

This is only one of many trees that were knocked over! This storm reminds me of the micro burst storms we get in Utah.

what a storm!

Well, today we got our first big fall storm! I was driving home and the hail got to be so big that I had to pull over. I really thought that my windshield was going to break. It was raining so hard and the wind was so hard that the rain was coming down sideways and tree branches were falling all over the place. When we got home this is what our yard and street looked like!

Our front yard/sidewalk/street/river

Our mailbox is on the house side of the sidewalk, you can't even see the sidewalk in this picture.
