Pumpkins

 So, Josh had a great field trip in preschool on Friday (10/26) to Snead's Farm in Fredericksburg.  Before we left, we picked up some pumpkins.  We carved them that night before Chester left since he's missing Halloween and Nick's 2nd birthday.  We did Lightning McQueen, Mickey Mouse, and Josh made up his own with push pins :)  Logan's eyes glow light the Jack-o-Lanterns!  A little creepy...Happy Halloween!

Nick had a lot of fun at the farm with Josh and he was so excited about carving the pumpkins that he just couldn't help but fall asleep.  I guess all the excitement of the day got to him.  My little sweet!

Nauvoo/ Day to Serve

 I got the opportunity to drive with my brothers (Steven and Mark) to Nauvoo to see our sister Julie get married to uncle Charlie!  It was a long, quick trip, but it was beautiful!!!

So, we had a multi-state day of service with VA, MD, D.C., and WV.  It was completely awesome.  They had about 40 different tables set up in the cultural hall at the church sharing different organizations and opportunities to serve year round.  We also had 2 Eagle Scout projects going, a blood drive and food drive.  Look who showed up to do his share of service.  I helped with one of the eagle scout projects making blankets for 'Safe Harbor'.  This has been an on going project for the past year or so, and other wards have started helping as well.  I also helped with the food drive and we had great success within our stake. I believed we had collected about 33,000 lbs. of food for our local food banks and still counting.  Thanks too all the members and Giant Food stores within our stake.
