Pumpkins

Some of you may know that I have a secret love for Mr. Potato Head. When I found these Mr. Potato Head Pumpkin Kits I had to have them. I got the Princess and the Pirate, they had others but i figured two was enough and liked these the best. Sadly I can't find the Princess' wand I must have dropped it somewhere between church where I put them together (during pumpkin game night at youth) and home.

New phone

So my wonderful wife Nicholle finally agreed that I need an iPhone! And as I was browsing the app store I found a blog writing app and decided to share my joy with all of our readers.

When will they ever finish?

So looking back at my blog i announced in July that we were getting a new built in gas grill by the pool. Well guess what its still not finished. Welcome to October and now finally below 100 degrees and they are finally starting to make some real progress. I was hoping to grill down there and have a swim party but alas we only have about 3 1/2 more weeks of pleasant swimming weather here. I suppose we could make it a hot tub party. Apparently our pool is heated but its never warm enough for me to want to go in during the winter. Anyways the reason I brought this up is I took some sweet photos from my balcony of these guys way up in the air installing some kind of shade screen over the grilling area. There is also a guy down there putting tile on the table tops. I hope the guy doesn't fall he doesn't appear to be wearing any kind of safety harness he is just hangng out on the top of this beam.

The Best Day ever!


Last month in Boston. Ignore the baby on my back we don't have one of those yet, he belongs to a friend.

Mason's Baptism

Today we went to Mason's Baptism and 1st Birthday Party. Here are a few pics. I always enjoy going to other churches to see how other people do things. I really liked their pastor she gave a great sermon.

Boston Pics from Today

Here are a few pics from our day today. We are having a lot of fun. We are staying with Colby's college roommate Kara, her husband Louis and their son Mason. They are so nice. I met them yesterday but I feel like I have known them forever. We went to Fenway Park, Cheers, saw these cute Make Way for Ducklings statues in the park and went to a beer tasting.

So Excited

I can't wait! Tonight Colby and I leave for Vacation to Boston. We are taking a red eye and should be there in the morning. I have always wanted to go to Boston and I keep trying to work it into the God & Country Tour but there is never enough time for it. I finally get to meet Colby's friends from college that I have heard so much about and see where he went to school. It has been a while since we have gone on vacation with out the youth group in fact it was over a year ago for our honeymoon, and we won't get to go anywhere next summer because the youth trip is God & Country which is 3 weeks long. So we will totally be enjoying time away and relaxation. Check back next week for pics of our awesome adventure.
