Little Punkins

I took Zade to pick out pumpkins last week. We had a good time pulling a wagon, and digging through piles to find just the perfect one. Zade's favorite part was trying to jump into several random family's photos and playing with a couple cute little girls.
Pumpkins!
Zade looks so sad in these pictures, but I promise we had a good time!
This one cracks me up ;)


Sitting with on of the pumpkins on our porch.

Getting ready to carve. I turned around for 2 seconds and this is what I find on the table :)



Eating cheese at his grandma's.



Trying to capture his new hair cut. He's not so into sitting still for pictures these days.



We had movie night tonight, and Zade hi-jacked the popcorn.


Sorry this blog was mostly pictures. Life is just moving along, and nothing too exciting is happening. We're missing Alan, but he's doing well in Alaska. Zade is getting so talkative and he impresses me every day with the words he knows and the things he picks up on. I love being home with him, we have a blast!

The Official Departure Date

Well.... sort of. While I don't have an exact date to the T yet, I can officially say that my family will once again be all together- in Alaska- next month! Holy cow. Yep, earlier than I have been spreading around, I know. But, Alan got subpoena'd (sp? lol) to court as a witness in a criminal case that was set for the 13th of THIS month. He called to let them know he was out of the state, they said it would really help the case if he could come, he said funds were tight right now, but should get better this month, they delayed the case 4 weeks. He'll be coming into town sometime before the 14th of November and leaving with Zade and I in tow sometime afterwards. I'm scrambling to get everything done that needs doing, but I am so SO ready to be with my husband again. It is killing me. We are STILL LOOKING FOR A RENTER! I want somebody I can fully trust so I haven't resorted to KSL yet, but I will next week if I haven't found anybody. Our current basement renters prove that awesome renters can be found on KSL, contrary to prior experiences. The details for anyone reading this that are unaware, we have a 4 bedroom house that we rent our basement out of. We currently have renters in the basement who we are keeping, so that leaves us with the main floor to rent out. The basement has it's own entrance, kitchen, etc. so there is no sharing of space. It's simply a 2 bedroom "apartment" with 1 bathroom, a kitchen/ dining area, and a living room. The 1 car garage attached to the house will be for whomever rents the upstairs as well. We are asking $800 per month, but this INCLUDES utilities, cable, and internet. Sorry to turn this blog post into an ad, but I really need to get this rented ASAP! Email me for more info or for my cell # if you or anyone you know may be interested. kelsey.mo06@gmail.com

Moving along, aside from that exciting news there is not much to report. I'm liking the gray days, they lend a mellow feel to Zade and my normally hectic days. We've snuggled watching movies a couple times now which almost never happens- Zade is usually far too busy to snuggle. He is getting bigger and cuter and we are doing great living the stay-at-home-momma dream. Zade's been such a ham again since he's gotten over his infection (today was the last day of antibiotics WOO!), he has been pulling his pants off with varying amounts of success. When he does get them off, he likes to then put them on his head. So funny! Also weird because he absolutely refuses to wear hats. He's so strange! But I love his guts. Talk to y'all later! XOXO
