Carvin' Out Some Good Times

On Pumpkin Day

As you know from last October, autumn is my most favorite time of year, and this post reflects that in the great quantity of jam packed images.

This autumnal day began as a misty morning with a crisp breeze, and a mellow sunshine.

Next, it was filled with goodie bags of tricks and treats for my sweeties!

And the makings of fresh pumpkin pies....

That filled the house with spicy aromas..

And were so hauntingly delicious!

Then, we began carving out more memories with Lana.

Here they are strategically planning the pumpkins fate!

The artist at work....

Lana joins in with her artistic abilities consisting of scribbles...

The fun part of carving pumpkins!

diggin' in on the fun!

BJ adds the final touches.

Pumpkins come and pumpkins go, but this Jack-O-Lantern steals the show!

The pick of the patch!

Jayce's pumpkin also turned out FANGtastic!!

Explaining to Lana all about trick-or-treating. It's the count down to candy!!

My Ghouls just want to have fun!!!

Nighttime falls, and our ANGEL appears!

She is so BOO'tiful!!

Don't they look so frightfully delightful together?

Too cute to spook!!

Off we go A-Haunting....

And, here we are returning....


Look out!! Their lurking about!

Cute little spooks!

If you've got it, haunt it!

I think he has deadly intentions... Eeeek.

Warning!! An alien is coming!!

We had a wonderful Hallo-Scream!! We wish everyone a spooktacular Halloween!!

Happy Halloween

Fashion Friday- Sweet Treats

Baby Sign Language (Video Two)

Baby Sign Language

Since Lana was 8 months old we’ve been teaching her sign language. She has quite the expanded vocabulary with oral and sign language. Over the past month, I have been trying to record small clips of her signing, but I have not had much luck with her cooperation while the camera is recording, until this evening. Tonight I managed to get her doing a few signs, thank you, please, and hurt. Hopefully, I can get more of her signing posted on here... It’s so cute!! Since we have a poor connection I have to make sure the clips are below 20 seconds or it is impossible to upload the video. None the less, I hope you enjoy it!!

Travel Tuesday- Rome, Italy Part One

The Colosseum

The Colosseum is grand. We had a nice time walking around it and taking pictures. When we arrived, we were very lucky, because we did not have to wait in any long lines or worry about tours. We just entered, paid, and went on our merry way. It went very smoothly and quickly! Just to forewarn you, this post is inundated with images, but I hope you enjoy them. Additionally, I forgot today is Wednesday!

Our walk to the Colosseum.

Side view from the outside.


The boys, just as we entered the stadium.


View of the arena.



Me, looking pretty, of course!

This is the stage below the arena that held the animals and gladiators before a fight began.

Totally being tourist!

Posing cute, again!

My men, the strongest gladiators!

Is this allowed in the Colosseum?

For some reason, I really like this image.
