Our family of jack o' laterns

The kids and I careved pumpkins together this afternoon. Madison made her pumpkin sad, because she told me he didn't have any friends. The kids and a really good time digging the guts our of there pumpkins.
This is Taggarts pumpkin he wanted it to look scary so it would scare the bad guys away!


Kiley's pumpkin she drew her face and Lin carved it for her, she is quite the little artist these days.

Hunter's pumpkin he drew his own face too, man that kid loves details! Those details were hard to carve, but I accomplished it!

Here they are in all there glory, sitting on our porch! Mine is the one with the spider, I am so proud of it, I figured I would try something new this year, and I think it looks great! Lin's is the one that can't stand up very straight and the top of the stairs, I think he may have had to, much candy this year! We hope everyone is having as much Halloween fun as we are.
I will post pictures of the kids in there costumes later this week, they haven't had any parties yet, but that will change as soon as the week starts!


Just sit right back....

and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship.


The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.
The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The minnow would be lost, the minnow would be lost.

The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan
The Skipper too,
The millionaire and his wife,
The movie star
The professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligans Isle.


So this is the talel of the castways,
They're here for a long, long time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.

The first mate and the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In the tropic island nest.

No phone, no lights no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
As primative as can be.

So join us here each week my freinds,
You're sure to get a smile,
From seven stranded castways,
Here on "Gilligan's Isle."


Happy Halloween!!
This is two of our really good friends, Sam and John Catlett, and Lin and I dressed up as well. We attended a Halloween Party last night and we won first place in the costume contest!

I'm still alive!!

I know it has been two months since I posted anything. Well let me start by saying I am not a very creative writer so I often have a hard time coming up with things to say, but also my little sister got married in September. Needless to say I was busy with that, and didn't have much time for anything else. I am going to try to post more regularly, but if I miss a day or two, bare with me I will always be back!
