Pumpkin Carving

For those of you who don't know, my husband is a pumpkin carving fiend.  Hence the reason why we are already carving and its only October 5th.  The kids love it though.  He has a collection of pumpkin stencils on our computer and adds more and more each year.  I think the first year he got into it he carved about 20 pumpkins in about 3 days.  ( He's very passionate about his hobbies.)

So this is Josh carving a Cinderella pumpkin.  The first of the season.  The pumpkin carving might be tricky around Halloween this year seeing as we will be in the hospital having the new baby on the 29th of October.  The kids will get to Trick-or-Treat in SLC this year.  

You can see the kids better than the pumpkin in this picture so I took another one below that you can't see the kids, but can see the pumpkin pretty good.
Its Cinderella, if you can't tell.  The pattern chosen by the princesses in our house of course. 
This was Mr. Incredible that Josh did a couple years ago.
This is kind of a bad picture, but this is Sponge Bob.  This is one of the favorites every year.  He's even made a custom stencil for my face and his, but for some reason I don't have those pictures saved on my computer.  Its pretty cool though.  

Happy Birthday Presley

Presley turned 3 on October 3rd.  We had a party with her little friends, which was interesting, and then we had cake and ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa Mackey, Bridger and Ali, Aunt Jan, and Bart, Melissa and Bailey.  Presley is a very sweet little girl who gets very shy sometimes.  Very often during her party she wouldn't look at the camera or anyone else.  We love her so much and very grateful that she is in our family.  

This is brand new baby Presley with Kenady cheesing out!

This is Presley at about 8 months old.  She's always had this huge smile.  You can't help but smile when you see that face.

Presley is helping Mom make cupcakes for her birthday party.  

Present time, by far the favorite part of the party for Presley and her friends.

This is Presley being shy.  She was actually on the verge of tears when this picture was taken.  She was too shy to blow out her candles in front of all the adults.  Kenady had to do it for her.  We hope you had a happy birthday Presley!
