Happy Halloween!

Halloween Night in Peoria/ Mesa

The neighbors rent a blowup jumper every year in the culdesac!

Ethan jumped and played a bit before we made the drive to Amy's house in Mesa.

Sweet Cardinals Pumpkin

All the kids ready to trick or treat....Amy's neighborhood gives away bags of

kettle korn, cotton candy and homemade rootbeer! Yum!

Grandma was the osteopathic doctor to our skeletons.

(Notice the Daddy isn't wearing his skeleton costume...hmmmm wonder why???)

Trunk or Treat and Pumpkin Carve

Fun night with friends carving our punkins...I cheated and bought a fake...NO MESS!

The clam chowder and monkey bread was divine Lynette!!!

Halloween Coach Pitch game with Grandma

Trunk or Treat. Our truck trunk rocked...jammin to Thriller :)

The Halls and Lilya's! We love that wacky bunch!

Halloween Season Pics

Our first pumpkin carve of the season....his name is Gobby Dinkerwhad :)

Trying out the scary mask...

Practicing his Halloween face painting and acting skills?

Our friends Miss Bennett and Mr. Darcy!

The talented Miss Em made these costumes with the help of my

sewing machine thank you very much. I'm so proud!

We however were not so creative, so this was the result.

(Next time we will be sure to try on the skeleton costume

WAY before the party starts.......twas a little SNUG in the wrong places....thus

the skeleton did not participate in any party games :)

12 Hours in the car with 6 kids??

So it was a last minute thing

(I'm so flexible and spur of the moment eh?)

to drive to Utah with Amy and the bunch.

We had fun, but it was a looooong drive...

"Are we there yet?"

"NO, shut up and stop asking that question!"

"She is laying on my thighs!"

"Here eat the beef jerky..."

There was only one minor pukage after the Wendy's frosty.

Just a few pics from the trip and our stop at Cove Fort.

Fun times and we all still love each other!

First Grade Picture Day

Star of the Week

Ethan started out as the Star of the Week and ended as the SICK Star of the Week.  He was out for two days.  But we made it through.  We wrote a poem to share with the class.  I think its pretty darn good.  What do you think?
