Alexander Christmas
Jackson Christmas
After Doc's we went to my parents house where we surprised them with a new sleep number bed. Then we all got to open presents from my parents. Gregg and I got the garbage cans we have been eyeing for a while. No more touching dirty lids for us! If you know me well enough you'll know I'm a little bit of a germ-o-phobe(sp?).
Finally an updated picture with everyone!
We finally convinced Ed and Alpha to take a picture as well.
Also, in other news my niece Kelsey turned 16 this month! What is up with that? I'm just a little freaked out by it, but excited for her at the same time.

My attempt at a family photo. I took a much better one with Curtis' camera, but by the time I got mine out the boys were ready to be done.

Fall Night
Anyway, back to why I'm posting...We had some pumpkins left over from the party on Saturday and at 8 last night after Gregg got home from school I thought it would be a great idea to carve them. I was surprised to see that Gregg had the energy after a long day, but glad he wanted to do it too. As we were gutting our pumpkins I thought it would be a great idea to bake the seeds, I mean how hard could it be? Well, to make a long story short let's just say we will be finding pumpkin seeds in all places of the kitchen for years to come. Another lesson learned is that I really suck at carving pumpkins. Last year I about teared up when mine completely fell apart after working on it forever. This year I decided to try the easiest picture in the book and well...below you see Gregg taking over my dumb cat. I don't even like cats!
So here is our new Fall tradition...Gregg carves and will carve his, mine, and the kids pumpkins from now on while I gut and bake pumpkin seeds.
Me pretending to carve.
The finished product.

The Reasons why I'm not on TV 3
Introducing......Nagy wife.
This bottom one was just kind of funny, cause I'm an idiot.
Boat Tour
Tour Eiffel
We decided to take the stairs because Rick Steves told us to and for the first 20 flights of stairs it was a good idea, but after that it got to be not such a good idea. It didn't really phase Gregg, but man I had a hard time. The funny thing is that you get a discount if you are under 25 and take the stairs and Gregg kicked butt over me. We only went to the 2nd level (another Rick Steves suggestion) and it was AWESOME! I'm gonna go ahead and even say "Majestic!"
Now I'm going to share kind of a cool story. Gather round...So once upon a time I was having a really frustrating day. Life wasn't going the way I thought it should and I said a little prayer for help. Well, I flipped on the telly and there was Oprah. I'm not a big Oprah fan, but it caught my attention. It was an episode that talked about the book The Secret. Now, I'm a person who thinks if you live as the gospel teaches you will be a happy person, but this book does have a good point. You should always think positive. They also suggested to make a board with goals on it. Supposedly if you make this board you will subconsciously think about it and make it happen. I had hit a low point and I thought "what the heck." So I did it and kept it on the mirror for a while, but took it down when family came to stay because I felt stupid and I forgot all about it.
