Pumpkins, Pumpkins, and More Pumpkins!

We had a fun family evening picking out pumpkins and enjoying a hay ride!

Parker took his job of picking a pumpkin very seriously!

This is the pumpkin he picked for Devri.

Devri is happy with her pumpkin.

Clam chowder bread bowls

a word of advice... don't walk away from your bowl unless you are finished!

Parker is a moocher

there are no words for this picture... well, maybe a few, but none that I will tell you!

Another cute bow courtesy of Melissa!

Some pics before we said goodbye to Preston, Jamie, Ethan, and Noah!

Hole in one!

that's all for now...

Another Attempt

Well, we're enjoying our time at Pebble Beach and before Greg headed back, we attempted more family pics... ha ha. I'll post other fun pics later, but here are these for now.

More Blessing Pics

We attempted to get some family pictures on Devri's blessing day. Parker was not very cooperative and so group pictures were kind of a joke.

Parker is being sweet... the question is, does Devri like it?

In the end, this was what taking pictures really felt like... especially after chasing Parker around to try and get a picture... not being very successful, I might add. :)

Devri's Blessing Day

Devri was blessed today along with her cousin, Noah, and Noah's cousin, Daniel. It was a super busy day, but a wonderful one. Devri's Great Grandma Orgill made Devri's beautiful dress. Thank you Grandma! Here are just a few pics of Devri. All the other ones are on my mom's camera so I still have to get them from her.

Another Halloween Sneak Peek

Two is better than one!

I just wanted to say how much I love my kids! I was so worried about the difficulties that would come with having more than one kid around... as it turns out, two is better than one! Ha ha! Parker's brotherly instinct really came out when Devri arrived and he has NEVER been jealous of her... yet. :) Having two munchkins was so much easier than I thought it would be. In addition to Parker's easy transition with having a sibling, Devri has been a near perfect infant for me! She's a decent sleeper, eater, etc. She's only ever spit up twice and that was barely anything! I'm just counting my blessings right now... I know the challenges will come, but I am extremely grateful for my children's current behaviors!
