Pumpkins!!

 Halloween is my FAVORITE!!! This was our punkin' carving fun and Todd's birthday activity!!

I love that Todd has a birthday that falls the day before Halloween (even if he hates it haha), there is always so much to do and we have so much fun.

Kathleen was the ring leader...she made sure we got our pumpkins...

and she was the first to start carving hers!

Mom getting hers ready

Me cleaning the nasty-ness out of mine

This was the finished product of my hard work!! :)

Dad actually broke out the power tools to do his!

The poor little Clementine is about to be devoured by moms scary pumpkin!

Todd and Dad finished very last...they take this very seriously :P

Happy 25th Birthday Bro!

A Real Man...

My dating life would be A LOT different if there were actually men that learned this...



To L. & J.

You've been on my mind, I grow fonder every day

Lose myself in time just thinking of your face

God only knows why it's taken me so long to let my doubts go

You're the only one that I want

I don't know why I'm scared, I've been here before

Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all

You'll never know if you never try

To forget your past and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only

Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms

So come on and give me a chance

To prove I am the one who can walk that mile

Until the end starts

If I've been on your mind, you hang on every word I say

Lose yourself in time at the mention of my name

Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close

And have you tell me whichever road I choose you'll go

I don't know why I'm scared 'cause I've been here before

Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all

You'll never know if you never try

To forget your past and simply be mine

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only

Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms

So come on and give me a chance

To prove I am the one who can walk that mile

Until the end starts

I know it ain't easy giving up your heart

I know it ain't easy giving up your heart

Nobody's perfect

(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)

Trust me, I've learned it

So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only

I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms

So come on and give me a chance

To prove I am the one who can walk that mile

Until the end starts

Come on and give me a chance

To prove I am the one who can walk that mile

Until the end starts

Words of wisdom

"Never ignore a person that loves you, cares for you, and misses you.

Because one day, you might wake up from your sleep

and realize that you lost the moon while counting stars.”
