The reason we all got together.It was time for the traditional Parker Pumpkin Carving today. It is an event that we have all grown accustomed to, especially our children. Jana and Ryon invited us over to carve our pumpkins and eat chili. (BTW – we learned that Jana is an excellent chili chef, she even won first place at the chili cook off at Ryon’s office last year) Our kids enjoyed eating donuts tied to string and going home with a homemade caramel apple, compliments of Stephanie. Stacie was on her way home from the hospital. Yesterday was a big day for her family – sweet little Cooper was born!
Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!

 Apparently Mason had a scary fall – he went over a jump, rolled three times, and got a fierce grass stain on his hair. Never seen that before – had to take a photo. |

 Hannah had fun chasing her donut around. |
 Paul taught all of the boys how to make a fly a pet by using a piece of long hair and tying it to the flys neck. It made us laugh and the boys thought it was awesome. |
 Stephen had Olivia and Lily choose the face for our pumpkin using his iphone. Carson told his mom he couldn’t carve his pumpkin because he didn’t have a phone. ha ha |
