Pumpkins and Camping

We got to carve pumpkins with Chris and Mardi (cousins) and their cute sons Eli and Tate this past Monday night for family night. We had such a good time and are so glad that they are close by us! Mardi isn't in any of these pictures but cooked a delicious dinner and inspired me once again to use coupons when I shop after she showed me all of her great deals!






Clark and I went camping this weekend and used our birthday tent. We finally got out into Texas and saw some open land and fields. On our way back we saw this sign that said "Exotic Animals For Sale" and there was this huge farm with Zebras, Kangaroos, Camels, Gazelles, etc. So, if anyone wants an exotic animal for Christmas...let us know and we'll pick it up for you!









We had such a good time camping...thanks to Roy and Brenda for the warm sleeping bags and to my parents for the pocket rocket which allowed us warm hot chocolate in the morning!

Cute pumpkins! Quite impressive. I'm sure it is nice to have good friends/family while you are out there. Camping looks fun also. It probably is nice to know there are places in Texas that are not filled with people. We are so excited for your little baby. Hope you get feeling better real soon!

You guys rock -- I'm a fan of un-traditional pumpkin carving! :)

And I want a Monkey -- always have. Can you help me out? ;)

What a great camping weekend! I love those and funny about the exotic animals. I don't think I needed a zebra this year!

Your camping trip looked like so much fun!
Love the exotic animals for sale. What would you do with one?! I want to see someone with a zebra in their backyard instead of a dog haha

Looks like a fun place to camp. I was wondering how the hot dogs settled Katie? We are glad you are enjoying you camping gear. Look forward to seeing you soon and we are still excited about your baby and all the fun he will bring!
