Some fun pics

Isn't Shelby a cutie!! She smiles a lot now!

Shelby just loves sitting in her chair and watching TV. She laughs and smiles more and is sleeping more through the night! Yeah for me!

'45 Dodge Truck. Chris' new project. Chris put a motor and trans in his truck. He is going to build this truck the same way his great-great grandpa, F.E. Hickman, had his '45 Dodge pickup. F.E. Hickman had a grocery store in Grants Pass and the name was on the truck. So- Chris is going to do the same. Put the name of the store on this truck. It is going to be neat and Chris' dad and great uncle John are excited about it!

Pumpkin carving

We carved pumpkins for our FHE activity last night. We had the family over and had a lesson about eating good and obeying the word of wisdom. We talked to the kids about Halloween and being careful with candy and too much sugar...and then we ate cupcakes!!! We carved pumpkins that were from Soozee's garden. She also had watermelons to carve! The kids were so excited-more excited just to get together with the family and their cousin Thomas!

We had extra pumpkins and I spent the afternoon today making pumpkin puree. Then since I'm cooking lately-I made pasta with pumpkin cream sauce-it turned out pretty good!

Pumpkin patch for Carson's Preschool

Chris and I took Carson to his preschool pumpkin patch trip. I was excited to attend because I never got to go before, I was always working. We went on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch, picked out a pumpkin for Carson, went in a corn maze, and the kids all got a goodie bag. It was a fun outing for us and Carson was so excited to go.

Month update

This is Shelby's favorite spot to sleep. This has now become a nightly thing for Shelby and Chris.

Shelby's 1 month picture

Shelby is now over a month old. She weighed 10 lbs. 4 oz. and was 21 2/3 in. long on 10/4/10. Her routine has changed some and does get fussy when I'm not holding her. She also gets fussy at night. But overall, she is enjoying her new surroundings and likes sitting in her swing. I'm enjoying my time off and having fun watching the food network and trying different recipes for dinner. I could get use to this.
