Getting ready for Halloween...

This afternoon we carved our pumpkins for Halloween. Alexis was very good at cleaning the guts out... one seed at a time. She was on track for the longest pumpkin cleaning experience of all time. And after her little pumpkin was empty, she filled it back up!

Pumpkin Head!!

Our pumpkin family... can you guess who carved each one?

Alexis tried on one of her costumes... lucky girl, she actually has 4 to pick from! It's good to have Grandparents that love her so much and spoil her so much! :)

This weekend was Homecoming at U of I, so Cort and I went down to Champaign for the weekend and tailgated with a bunch of friends. Good times! For 24 hours we managed to forget that we have jobs, and pretended like we were still undergrads. Alexis stayed with Gramma and Grampa and helped Uncle Scott move into his new apartment. This week we are going to visit Gramma Debi and Grampa Joe in Sedona. Alexis is very excited to fly on a plane. Let's hope that she is so excited that she falls asleep for the majority of the flight! Check back for pictures next weekend!

Pumpkin Farm

This weekend Mommy and Daddy took me to the pumpkin farm! I saw goats, bunnies, pig races, a corn maze, and I got to go on a hayride. We also got to see a pumpkin launcher!

Summer Weather

This weekend was the Grampa O'Shea Memorial Golf Outing. Usually we need to wear sweatshirts and jackets, but this year it felt like July weather. Hopefully we get to enjoy Fall within the next few days!

Alexis played a game of bean bags with her cousins...

Can you believe we were swimming in October in Chicago?!???!

Pulling Johnny in the wagon...

Here is our new cousin Ellen!!

Alexis got to hold (and kiss) the new baby...

She also got to help put Ellen's socks back on!

Slam dunk!

Wearing the pretty outfit that Gramma Debi made!

On Friday, Cort and I took the day off from work and went on a Segway tour along the lakefront. It was a blast and we highly recommend it to everyone!!
