Pumpkin Carving 10~30~13

Tonight we carved our pumpkins we got last weekend... I have to admit, I am not a big fan of carving pumpkins and honestly the last time was probably 20ish years ago.. Don't get me wrong, Lonnie carved them with the kids when they were little.. .OUTSIDE... but the smell always made me sick. But this year, I sucked it up and carved my pumpkin !!  And had fun doing it.  After we were done, we roasted the seeds, which is my favorite part..ha ha.. I think that all three of them turned out really well... Kayleigh and Alex did one together, Lonnie did his and I broke out the power tools and did mine !!

 

Pumpkin Patch ~ Maris Farm

This year we went to Maris Farm.. so far, this is the best Pumpkin Patch we have been to.. and it didn't rain this year !!    It was a fun time !! We got to watch pig races, shoot small pumpkins and corn and we went on the hay ride.

Bon Jovi 10~5~13

For Alex's birthday this year we got Bon Jovi concert tickets.. Bon Jovi is one of Alex's favorite bands and I was so excited to give him the tickets on his birthday (July 26) I could see it in his face that he was so happy. The concert was at the Tacoma Dome and I have never been there for a concert so was not sure how good the seats would be. They were not that bad, but wish I could have gotten closer. It was a really fun night and so happy that we could do this for Alex !!
