Here is were the pictures start to get graphic, so don't keep reading if you have a weak stomach. So I warned you all at the beginning that the aftermath of that Carmel apple was pretty messy. Just look at that face. He had it everywhere, but her sure did enjoy it. 
Squash anyone!!! I have been looking at other peoples blogs and I see other little kids about Eli's age being so dainty and careful, and I have even read a few that said they thought it was gross, but Eli didn't really seem to have that problem. He thought it was about the coolest thing in the world to stick his hand in there and rip out the guts of the pumkin. 
Eli is all boy as you can planly see in this picture. He was having a blast.

The same ones as before, but all lite up this time. 
Eli is not quite sure what to think about this many leaves. 
So this picture is quite funny for a few reasons. First, because we had stuffed Eli's shirt clear full of leaves and he wasn't loving it too much. But the funniest thing is that the way the picture is taken, the "go" word bubble on Matt's shirt is just in the perfect position to make it look like Eli is saying go.
Just a few pics of Eli in the leaves. 
This is Karter Boy. I'm not exactly sure what he was doing in this picture. 
"Save me Mommy!!!!"
We put all the leaves up on the trampoline and then jumped in them. This was almost more fun then having them on the ground. 
Lara Lue blowing a kiss!!!

Look how big my little boy is getting
No.... I'm really not this crazy.....
This is one of my new favorite pictures of my two handsome boys. They look so happy in this picture.
Eli just being his handsome self
A really cute close up
What kind of face is that?
He looks so cute in this picture.
He was being so photogenic this trip up the canyon. No matter where we set him, he would just sit and smile so cute for us.
Not sure what he was doing in this picture
Lara posing on the log for us
Lara and I. I love you little sis.
Eli and his daddy!!!!
Okay, okay so getting teeth really shouldn't be that big of a deal, but he is almost a year and we have been waiting forever for them. He got all four at the same time. They broke through a little more then a week ago but they are just now out far enough that I can catch a decent picture of them. Don't get me wrong, it has been great that he hasn't had them because I am nursing him and it has been great without them. I sure am going to miss his little toothless grin though, but I have to admit, the teeth make his grin all that much more cute. So I thought I would share my handsome little boy grinning and bearing his pearly whites. 
This past weekend we went the scarecrow festival at Thanksgiving Point. We had so much fun at this family outing. We originally went to watch Matt's little sister Heather dance, but once we got there, there was so many fun things to do.
This is Lara playing on all the different bounce house slides. She was having so much fun. She even convinced Taylor to go down the slides with her and they crashed at the bottom of this last one. They were laughing so hard. And not even going to lie, it was great entertainment on the spectators side as well. Matt and I were both rolling.
Eli and Mommy!!!
Grandma wanted to take Eli on the train. He liked it a lot. We didn't want to wait for another train to come around so we just squeezed into one train. So that is why we look so crowded. It was fun all the same though.
These are just some random pictures of Eli playing in the Toddler Town that they had at the festival. It was a great little area that was perfect for Eli's size.
