Pumpkin Carving

We wanted to carve pumpkins this year.

Last weekend the weather was perfect

Ryan picked out the biggest pumpkins

Sophie insisted on being in my lap and try to help.
It wasn't the most comfortable position...but it was fun for her!

Though we have finished them and they are outside, I didn't take a picture.

I will get a pic up sometime

Halloween, part 1

The girls wanted to be princesses for Halloween this year.

They have multiple princess dresses, these are the ones we picked out

to go to the Haunted Zoo.

Sophie still puts everything in her mouth!

Sophie growing up

Our little baby is growing up.

Already 19months, and becoming a little lady!

She loves her babies.

She's a good mommy

Her laugh is contagious. It's so deep and filled with joy.

Home Made Sushi

We are in love with sushi as a family. But it gets expensive, so Ryan decided

to try it ourselves. The problems we have encountered, first we don't know what we are doing.

Secondly, we have been unable to find a market that sells sushi grade salmon which

is my favorite. With those things aside we sought the internet for directions and went to it.

We decided to buy some premade sushi so we have something to

eat while we are making our own.

These are the sauces to make our sushi rolls

These are some of the products we needed

I love the spicy crunchy salmon roll, so we made our own variation:

Spicy tuna roll

The meat to the right is Eel. That is all Ryan and haylee, that

stuff is nasty!

Ryan thought he needed to soak the seaweed paper--we know better for next time!

Ryan's Eel roll-though I wouldn't eat it, it looks pretty!
