Our nephew Jacob (one of five nephews) is such a ham. He's always cracking me up, especially now that he's talking in complete sentences (kind of) and clearly demonstrating his cheerful/high-spirited personality (except when he's being...well...22 months.) At the same time, he's super sweet and I love me a good Jacob squeeze and kiss.

We laugh a lot when we're together.
He loves games, including "Where is Jacob?" (pause) "There he is!"
And most recently, he loves tractors (among many other new things.)
After all of that, we went back to Scott & Nikki's for some yummy pizza and pumpkin carving. I hadn't carved a pumpkin in.....a very long time so it was quite fun. I don't want to sound conceited, but I was secretly very impressed with my pumpkin carving skills. (Never mind that the top tree branches were literally hanging on by a thread.) My howling wolves even had shaggy fur. I was that good. Tom's was also very dramatic and eerie.
Scott chose a rather ambitious design and wasn't able to finish before we had to leave. I'm sure he stayed up well into the night to complete it though *smile. And I'm sure it looks awesome! Did I mention that our pumpkins were HUGE?! Scott and Nikki picked them up for $5 each at their local farmers market. What a steal.
What a fun afternoon/evening with fun peeps. I will accept the snow and cold much better now that I got in a hay ride and pumpkin carving. Maybe.
He even does pilates.
"Up."
"Down."
He loves games, including "Where is Jacob?" (pause) "There he is!"And most recently, he loves tractors (among many other new things.)I love living only 20 minutes from him and my brother and sister-in-law. Take for instance this past Saturday - we met at a local nursery to check out their fall festivities. They had big and little tractors, pumpkins, a hay ride, low scare "haunted houses" for the adults, and mini donuts. We had a great time!
The 3-D glasses rocked.
Scott & Jacob decided to forgo this particular haunted house. And it's a good thing b/c despite being "low scare," it had some spine-chilling moments. As you can see, Tom and Nikki were very, very scared.
Again...very, very scary.
Our smiling faces are only cover-ups for how very, very scared we were by the mummy behind my shoulder. 
The hay ride was fun!
And there were perfectly sized straw bales for some Aunt Sarah picture time.

I'd also like to give a shout out to my fellow ISU Cyclone fans for our awesome win against Nebraska on Saturday. GO STATE!
Seriously, Jacob looks SO OLD. He is adorable. LOVE the pics. Did you have a template for those pumpkins?? Impressive!
