Pumpkin Patch






We had so much fun going to the pumpkin patch! It was fun to pick out pumpkins outside this year! Mckinley was very excited about turning the pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns! Daddy was very excited to cook a pumpkin and see if we could make pumpkin bread from a pumpkin!! We did it all! Mckinley told us the shapes that she wanted us to use for the faces of the jack-o-lanterns. It was so fun to have her be such a big part of it! She was all about it until we had to take the guts out of the pumpkins - no one helped me! Maybe next year! We had fun lighting them up and we hope they last until Halloween!

Floridians

Wow - it has been about a half of a year since I updated our blog and so much has changed~
We moved from Alaska to Florida with a quick stop in Minnesota. We lived in Florida for awhile, tlf, friends house, hotel, and then house. We went to Boston for Paul Paquette's wedding, Minnesota for Alyssa's wedding and finally back to Florida to stay for awhile!
We are all moved into our house now. We still have a few boxes of pictures, dvd cases and books to go through. We finally bought a desk and bedroom set in the last few days! Yeah! Pictures to come when the house is complete! We are loving it here! The fall is a little crazy because it is still so warm! I want to do a better job of updating our blog on our crazy wonderful life!
Denis - is doing great! Loves learning at his new job and has met so many wonderful people! He is still taking Master's classes online and has started an investing company "Soaring Investment Management!
Jessie - I am donig great too! I love being a stay at home mom and wife! It is crazy busy and hectic sometime but when I fall asleep at night I truly thank God and my lucky stars that this is my life! I am still trying to loose my baby weight from Kyndle and have signed up for a Halloween 5K coming up on the 29th! Updates to come!
Mckinley - She is our little 3 year old, who will be 4 and then she will be 5 as she says it! She is going to preschool 3 mornings a week! It has been quite the process convincing her that I will come back and get her everyday! She loves school and has a blast while she is there but she never wants me to leave!! :) She is also loving her birthday gift of a strider bike! We have been enjoying our little bike rides to the playground! She is getting so good at balancing and will be riding a real bike in no time!!
Kyndle - is talking so much! She repeats everything we say and walks around the house telling us the name of everything! We plan to videotape her this weekend because she is so cute with her words right now!
I really want to do a better job of this so plan on posting a couple of times a week! I read so many of my friends blogs and they are so poinent and I love reading about their lives! I know this blog is mostly for my family and any friends who also share the love of blogging! Love you all and miss you too!

Update
