Pumpkins!

We went to Nate's Butt Farm today and Claire had a blast climbing over all the pumpkins. She got herself a white pumpkin, which they call a "princess pumpkin." We also fed the animals. We had fun!

The princess and her pumpkin


As soon as I put her down, she laid down like a little model


She's in another tongue phase


She also loves to sit on things

They call these the "big mac" pumpkins. Holy cow, are they huge!

There were baby goats in the petting zoo. It was almost too much cute for me to handle. If I had wanted to spend $3 for Claire to pet the animals, that definitely would have been too much cute.


Feeding the goats. I could not for the life of me catch a picture of the goat eating corn out of Claire's hand. But, oh was she just squealing with delight!

Yes, I am a nerd.

14 months

Today, Claire is 14 months old. She is so much fun! She has a great personality and is such a sweetheart. I sure do love my little ball of energy!

Jared's baptism

Today, my little brother was baptized. I am so happy and proud of him. It was a special day. I gave the talk on baptism, played the piano while my dad and Jared got dressed (my dad played the piano for the rest of the time, of course) and played special music with my mom and dad. When someone in the Gray family is baptized, we provide all the music. :) Afterward, we had a big dinner with family and friends to celebrate. Congratulations, Jared!

The whole kit and kaboodle

SDMCO

I am participating in the San Diego Mormon Choir and Orchestra (SDMCO) and we will be performing our inaugural concert on Friday, October 8 at 7:30pm at the California Center for the Arts Escondido. As a member of the orchestra, I am able to offer 20% off tickets. Let me know if you'd like to purchase tickets and I'd be happy to pick up the money, buy them at the box office and drop them off to you.

We have had several rehearsals already and I have gotten goosebumps on more than one occasion playing the beautiful music. I know that this concert will be uplifting and inspiring and I highly encourage you to attend, if you have the opportunity.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you all through the gift of music!
