Quite possibly the cutest little cow you've ever laid eyes on!

Bella next to the pumpkin that I carved of her...3 1/2 hours later! Does she look like she even appreciated it!?!
Jeremy's Pumpkin creation
So after a busy day of pumpkin carving, passing out candy, a party at the park with neighbors and a family dinner with the Days we settled down for a quiet evening at Paigey's and were in bed by 11...pretty nice for Saturday night if you ask me!
Sunday we headed up to Yuba to go to my dad's harvest party. We got up to Yuba, ate a great Mexican feast, visited with friends and family and left just before Turkey's band started playing (yes you got that right, Turkey is his name) and boy do they P-A-R-T-Y! We ended the day with a fun visit at the Fosters and got to meet their newest addition, Sophie (who is absolutely precious), just in time to dash by Grandmas and hit the road for home - only to get stuck in the WORST traffic I've ever seen heading out of Yuba! Gotta love the fact that Yuba can actually draw 70,000 extra visitors for a Sikh parade!
And I leave you with this little treat...
Pumpkin cupcakes with bourbon cream cheese frosting - let me tell you they are delicious!
Cake Mix:
1 package of yellow cake mix
1 package of JELL-O instant vanilla pudding (4 serving size)
1 cup of pumpkin (canned or fresh)
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1/2 cup of water
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the above ingredients together with an electric mixer until well mixed (about 5 minutes). Pour into greased and floured cake pan. Makes a single layer 9x13" cake (bake for approx. 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean) or about 2 dozen cupcakes (Bake for about 25 minutes).
Frosting:
8oz. of cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup of butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 16 oz. package of powdered sugar, sifted
1 1/2 - 2 Tablespoons of bourbon (optional)
Beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla and bourbon together until well blended and then slowly add in the powdered sugar. (if you want to get creative and use a pastry bag to decorate I recommend doubling the frosting recipe.
