So we decided to get a new camera a month ago (thanks Blake for breaking our last two cameras). These pictures were taken the day we got it. It is hard to believe we were still swimming only a few weeks ago. I just really liked how these pictures turned out and thought I would post them. I also realized that I need to take some pictures of my new baby! He has gone over a week without a new picture.
A little update on Zander and his two week appointment. He weighed 9.2lbs and was 22" long, he is doing good. Now he just needs to learn how to sleep longer than an hour during the night! He knows how to sleep for long periods in the day you would think he would know how to do it at night time! :)

pumpkin carving

This year we bought 6 pumpkins to carve for Halloween! Jared's family was down visiting to see Zander and were able to hang out with us as we carved pumpkins. Grandma was a ton of help carving the pumpkins with me having to take care of the new baby.

Blake was pretty sure he could carve all by himself. He drew the design on his pumpkin but ended up in the end needing some help from his dad.

This is Jared's pumpkin, he saw a bunch of different designs online and thought he might give it a shot. I think it turned out really cool, so did some of the trick or treaters that came to the house, there were lots of comments on it.

Weird to see another person in our family pictures. :) Glad Zander is finally here! You must check out Jareds blog on the side. He turned one of our pumpkins into a "scary" pumpkin that honked at you after you pushed a button on its nose. It was hillarious hearing the trick or treaters scream from being caught off guard. I even had adults tell me it really scared them. :)
