Cannariato~Almond Adventures

YIKES, my wife has finally found her calling in life! "It's Alive!"

Hey Family! I just created a blog that will have all my pictures of my projects. If you get a minute, go check it out. http://alexiscannariato.blogspot.com/ Love, Lexi

So for the first time EVER we hung out as an entire apartment at night- we all had dates! There were 7 couples, and we all came up with such different designs! Also, we roasted pumpkin seeds (cook them til they poop! Love you mom :D) and made pumpkin cookies. Ours is "The Cheat" from Homestarrunner (thanks Bec! I love you!) There are some better pictures of Jake and me together that I'll have to get from Jena later, but here are some of my favorites of the night!

Last Saturday, we went to the Pumpkin Regatta! They have people carve out giant pumpkins and race in them like canoes.  It was really fun to see. Our friend raced dressed as Indiana Jones.  Ethan got to try to golf into a floating pumpkin, almost took out the person next to him. I had to take a pic of the girl with the Sterns lifejacket, look familiar?  One pic is of Ethan and Blake after a long, grueling day at, you guessed it - CHURCH!  Don't they look cute?  Well, the parents aren't smiling, that's why we aren't pictured :)

Wishing each of you a great Halloween. We have a very modest person in our family. She does things for everyone and always puts the needs of her family ahead of her own. She carved this beautiful pumpkin, grown in our garden I might add. We are VERY blessed to have such a great wife, mom & grandmother, don't you think?

These are some pictures of the Birthday Girl on her special day: Nicole is happy about her new coat-it has a little more tummy room Oooh la la - a lovely maternity shirt A rose by any other name would smell as sweet- but maybe not Stevette or Shaniqua Cards from the family Happy Birthday Beautiful Nicole!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE! Despite the cuteness of this picture, PLEASE don't name your baby "GAITERHEAD", "KISSBLOW" or "CHEESECAKE." Hope you have a great day. LOVE YOU. Dad

Just a couple of great photos from last night's recital!

Well, it's my favorite time of year again! This year we added to our halloween decorations a giant flying bat (hanging inside so it doesn't fly away) and a giant spider and its web. Our front doorway looks quite festive this year and I can't wait for the big night! That funny kitty loves to climb up the ladder anytime I put it up. What a silly boy!

...oh and reba macentire too it was the HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR. i was in the THIRD ROW CENTER on the floor. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!

What a great garden we have had this year. Look at the size of the watermelons and sunflower. Our carrots were also fabulous - remember the three intertwined ones? We plan on eating one of these melons on Sunday. YUMMY!

Here's one of my projects for interior design that I just finished. It's matted and looks better that way. We had to take a picture and break it down into just line. My professor had everyone in the class rate the projects from most successful to not as successful. Everyone picked mine as the first one! I was really blessed to be able to finish it and still do important things like watch conference and go to FHE. I'm starting on another one that has to do with shape so wish me luck!

Hard to believe that exactly 52 weeks ago today we said our goodbyes at the MTC to Sister Stephanie Cannariato. It has been a great year. Hope everyone will seek for personal inspiration from general conference this weekend. I am thankful for living prophets and apostles. LOVE YOU ALL.
