Hunting Woodpecker, A Halloween Party, and The Great Pumpkin

It took a while to carve this pumpkin!

We have a woodpecker that loves our chimney.  He has been pecking at our house for at least a year.  We have had this hole fixed before, but the little guy keeps coming back...

SO, be vewy, vewy quiet...we're hunting wabbit....I mean woodpecker.

Random picture of the dogs, Maggie & Jarad.

My big, strong hunter man (armed with a bb gun) never did get that wascally woodpecker.

The Noble's had their Halloween party on Saturday night.  This is Emily Anne with Izzy the Pirate.

Mommy and the little pirate

I think I did okay on her costume.  Jason said that most people dressed their daughter's like princesses.  Well, Mommy cannot sew a princess dress, but I can baste together a pirate costume using old t-shirts and pillowcases!

Pirates were everywhere!

Aggravating the baby Part 2

Aggravating the baby

Here are some pics from tummy time...she is getting a lot stronger!

I thought a picture of her with mommy's sunglasses on would be cool.  All she wanted to do was suck on them, however.

My favorite!

Two Month Checkup

Izzy had her two month check up this past Wednesday.  The doc says everything looks great!  She is 22 inches long, weighs 10 pounds 2 ounces, and her head is 15 inches.  Oh yeah, she got her first shots (I hate saying it that way...it makes her sound like a puppy!).  She started to get a little upset after the first shot, so I grabbed her hand, and she calmed down.  Then, came 3 more shots, and she screamed like a banshee!  I thought her head was going to explode (or completely spin around like in The Exorcist).  It was at that point that I started to cry.  Maybe we will do better at her next appointment :) 

Reunion Weekend

Jason and I had our 10 year reunion this past weekend. We went to the homecoming game on Friday night and then to Doublehead Resort for supper on Saturday night. It was really good to see people that I had not seen in a long time! I only wish I had actually taken my camera to the reunion. I left it in the truck both nights! The only pictures I got were of my family on Saturday night. Oops! Oh well, I'll get some next time...

This is Izzy in her Reunion/Christmas outfit...notice the shoes. They are HUGE!

Izzy didn't actually go in the reunion on Saturday. We did not realize that there would be music (loud, loud music). We were leaving to come back to Helena right after supper, so, my mom came to Doublehead and sat with Izzy! Thanks, mom!!
Right after this picture was taken, Jason said, "Take another, I had a fake smile". So true. Jason claims he was tired of having pictures taken, but this was the first one!
That's better
All together now!
