So when we moved to Morton we had no idea that it was the said Pumpkin Capital of the world. There's a Nestle factory here that makes the cans of Libby's Pumpkin. Every September there is a "Pumpkin Festival." So this year we invited Blake's Family over to attend our first pumpkin festival. Blake soon discovered that there was going to be a pumpkin pie eating contest and recruited Brooke to compete with him (video to follow). We all had a good time! There were pumpkin pies, doughnuts, ice cream, breads, and just about everything else you could imagine! DELICIOUS!

Here's the video of Brooke and Blake competing (warning: the video is loud!)
I am a 23 year old wife and mother to the loves of my life! My husband, Blake, my son Easton, and I are currently living in a town of 1500 people, Mackinaw, IL! Our gang keeps us very busy and entertained, and we wouldn't trade them for the world! I created this blog so that our friends and family all over the country could stay up to date on what's going on here in what they call the Midwest!
