1. We purchased a new (used) truck for Jason that he is absolutely in love with. I was bad and teased him all day that the truck had sold when I went to buy it. He was bummed all day, so much that I started to feel guilty. When he came home from work I could still tell he was sad. After he showered I had my brother pull into the driveway in Jason's new truck. It was the BEST surprise! He called me a jerk and then kissed me. :) 4. Jason and I ate at Bonefish Grill for Misty's birthday dinner on Saturday. We had never been there before. It was really nice and the food and service were A+. I ordered Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos and Jason ate Coconut Shrimp. We definitely will go back because we really liked the atmosphere and the service.
The coolest thing (that we actually missed out on) is they had cozy outdoor seating with a man sitting in the corner with his guitar and mic. singing "Jessie's Girl". How cool is that? We didn't know they had live music out there till we were already leaving. I would love to go back and listen to that guy sing. He was actually really good. He inspired Jason and I to crank up the radio and sing at the top of our lungs all the way home. Our best duet was Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer". Ummm...we don't get out much. :)
We also decided that we would buy guitars in the next year or so and learn how to play them. Maybe we will be naturals?
5. We are moving forward with learning sign language together as a family.
6. When my dad was here a few weeks ago he helped us reinforce our deck so that the railing was not leaning out. It is so sturdy now. We are working towards rebuilding our deck (a few boards at a time).
7. We are looking forward to Esmeralda taking our family photos at Columbia Crest winery in a couple weeks.
8. Jason and I got new cell phones yesterday and we played with them all afternoon. :)
9. I went to Tri-Cities with my Mom on Saturday to go to Bath and Body Works. We stocked up on hand soaps in all our favorite Fall scents. She bought me a body mist called Harvest Berry. I can not stop spraying it on myself. It smells amazing! Seriously, if you were to hug me right now you would be surrounded by the enticing smells of woodland berries, bergamot, white citrus, and jasmine. The smell makes me want to throw on a sweater and snuggle up to my handsome hubby by the fire.
10. Today I plan to start working on Christian's photo book of the past year as well as his annual birthday video. I can hardly believe our little pumpkin will be two in a month. I have already dug out my Halloween cookbooks and party ideas. I am so excited!
11. I will be painting my kitchen cabinets soon and will post all about them later. Also, we are researching colors for our bedroom but that may be a Spring project.
12. We cleaned out our garage (finally) and our downstairs room. I moved in my large tables for scrap booking and other craft projects. I am so excited to get started on some projects and know that I have room to work and won't have to put everything away (until I finish).
That is all I can think of right now but before I go I wanted to share this picture:
Can you say CUTE????
Christian had fun exploring the patch and looking at all the different shapes and sizes of pumpkins. He really enjoyed watching all of the other people {hunting} for their special pumpkins.
This picture shows Christian with his little white pumpkin. His daddy walked the entire patch to find it for him. I think we will carve "BOO!" in it.
This is my adorable mom with her {perfect} find. As soon as she saw it she knew it was the one!
Christian and Mommy
The above photo was my favorite of the day. LOVE it! 
I asked Christian to sit on this one. Is he mocking me? It looks like it!
He really wanted to pick this one up!

Our little pumpkin pooped out after playin' at the patch.
Happy Pumpkin Hunting !!!!
