bridal showers and pumpkin carving

this last saturday was a full day of festivities.
it started out with isaac and i apartment shopping. we found one that we really liked and will be moving into. it's kiddie-corner from Cottonwood high school and should be a great location. once we're settled and stuff - we'll invite everyone over for a spaghetti dinner. :)

after that, i went to my neighborhood / Granite ward shower at Sherry's house. (thank you sherry!!) it was so much fun to get a chance to visit with everyone and catch up.

that afternoon we went to the Nielson family shower at my aunt juli's house.
it was so fun to get together with the fam cause we ALWAYS end up laughing and having so much fun. my cousing carrie was there who i haven't seen in years and we got to meet the newest addition to the family, cousin mark & erin's baby Josh.

later that night we drove down to Whitta & Jordan's house to carve pumpkins with the fam. poor jakey-poo had to go to a dance that night, so he missed out on the fun. we had some yummy soup for dinner and had fun talking and then got into the messy project of carving our pumpkins. our pumpking was large, but dirty so we had to give it a little bath first.
