Halloween Party!

Katrina and I went to Kenna' class this morning to help out with their Halloween Party! (They don't let them dress up so the kids were bummed. But they have had lot's of chances to dress up over the past week.) I was in charge of one of the centers. We made "Haloween Glasses" with Paint and GLITTER!!! Katrina got to make a pair too. I'm glad it wasn't my Idea so nobody could get mad at me for the Glitter mess everywhere!

Kenna making her glasses...




Katrina wanted to make glasses...


Katrina's Glasses...


Kenna's cute glasses....


Her hand she made with a glove and popcorn and red hots for finger nails...


Kenna's class is learing about internal and external the body. As you can guess, This is internal...

Is that SNOW!?!?!?

I think it is just frost. But when I walked outside this morning, I thought it was snow. If you look at the roof of the back porch and the play house and the grass, it totally looks like it lightly snowed...


The Extent of my Festivities...

All my Halloween stuff is in boxes somewhere in my garage. I'm sad I can't find my stuff. But I refuse to go buy new stuff when I allready have a bunch! So this is the extent of my festiveness this year! (Is "festiveness" a word?)

I went to a Vinyl Lettering Party at Emily's house and she had some fun festive stuff allready cut out of Vinyl so I grabbed some...

Bats and Witches Hats. I also put some on my door outside. And of course we have carved pumpkins out there too...

Trick-or-Treat at McKesson

10/29 - Tim's company, McKesson invited all the families of Employees to a big Trick-or-Treat around the office. 5 floors is ALLOT of Trick-or-Treating!!! We didn't do them all. We did Tim's floor and the 5th floor cuz it was decorated really good!!! And then we went to the basement to the Haunted House. I DON'T do Haunted Houses so I waited at the door. But the kids had fun! They got SOO MUCH candy! Their buckets were stuffed to the top! UGH!!! Afterwards they had a Chili Dinner. It was YUMMY!

Ready to go. And Yes, it is cold enuf to need these heavy jackets! Tyler is still Indianna Jones, Kenna switched to the Little Mermaid and Katrina switched to Cinderella...


Our kids with the Peterson's Boys, White's Boy, and Bowen's Girls...


You would think, with all the people that were there we would have thought to have one of them take the picture so Tim could be in the picture too...

Pumpkin Carving & Charlie Brown

10-28 - Tyler was sad that their class didn't have dad's come in to carv pumpkins like Kenna's class did so Tim carved a cool pumpkin with Tyler in the evening. I just happened to have the TV on and guess what came on, Charlie Brown - The Great Pumpkin. How timely. The kids haven't ever seen it so they loved watching it while Tyler and Tim carved the pumpkin. Tyler did a good job carving...

The Great Pumpkin...


(Crying) "You didn't say you were going to kill it"...


Killing it....


Cheating...




All done...

Daddy Daughter Pumpkin Carving

10-28 All the dad's were invited to come carve pumpkins with their kids in Kenna's class. Kenna was sooo EXCITED to have dad come! Here are some pictures...

Cleaning out the pumpkin the night before. If you could see Kenna's face. She has a "eww gross" face...

Trunk-or-Treat

Saturday night our ward did a trunk-or-treat at Hunter's farm. The previous bishop of our ward has a Christmas tree farm. How cool is that. It was a beautiful farm and smelled so good!!! Like Christmas! I already have my tree picked out. :o) It's about 15ft tall! :o) Ha! Tim says good luck getting it through our front door. We will try! Anyway.....the kids had fun going on a hay ride around the farm and trunk-or-treating. Of course we had PIZZA first before loading them up with CANDY! Here are a few pictures of our fun....

Our Family before leaving to go. Tim and Tyler as Indiana Jones, Kenna is Princess Ariel, Katrina is Snow White and I am....wearing a witch hat.....

While the guys are away...

Tim is out of town for a week. He left for Arizona on Friday and then he goes to San Diego today (Sunday) and then he goes back to Arizona on Wednesday and then he will be home Thursday night. He is working in San Diego. He added Arizona to the beginning and end of his trip to have some time with family. He has been back twice since we have moved. NOT FAIR! I want to go! Monika's husband Tony also went with Tim. So it is just us girls with the kids this weekend. Yesterday, Monika asked if I wanted to go to the mall to let the kids run around and play at the play area. We explored other non-mall options and they all cost money, accept for Chick-fil-A and McDonald's but yet they still cost money cuz you cant just go play...they will undoubtedly ask you to buy something! So we went to the North Point Mall. I hate going to the Mall. So really, I didn't want to go. But the kids really wanted to go out and do something. So we went. I am very surprised to say that I am so glad we did. They had a Star Wars the Clone Wars area set up. Tyler and I went and saw the movie when Tim and the girls went camping. So Tyler is all excited about it and since Tyler is excited the girls are excited. So it turned out to be great! They were giving Star Wars tattoos, gift bags, masks, photos, and letting the kids play the NEW Star Wars Wii game. Everything was FREE!!! And the kids had so much fun! We went and played at the play area for a short time and then got kicked out because Tyler and Zak are too big to play. Oops! Totally didn't see that sign. I think a parent complained cuz the mall security guard came over and told us. Oops! I wasn't offended at all... I can totally understand our kids being too big to play in there. All they did was climb on top of everything! I just wasn't thinking when we went in. There were little kids everywhere! I can understand why a parent would be concerned. Anyway...we had allot of fun! I'm glad we went. Here are some pictures... sorry for the bad quality, I only had my cell phone with me. I wasn't planning on taking pictures.

GO SUNS!!!

We went to a SUNS game last night in Atlanta. It was fun! WE WON!!! 102 to 100. We were ahead the whole time by 2-4 points. We bought tickets on-line through some ticket company for $5 each after fees and stuff they were $10 ea. The seller didn't send us the tickets so we let the company know and their policy is if the seller doesn't send the tickets by a certain time that they will send better tickets and the seller has to pay for them. So we got AWESOME tickets! They were $70 tickets. EACH!

As you can tell from the pictures we werent too far away from the court...

Tim and I on the MARTA (Train) going to Atlanta...

At the Game...

HA HA! I got a picture of the Petersons w/o them knowing...

We love to take pictures of ourselves...


And I can't forget to thank Ryan and Deb for babysitting our kiddos so we could go. You guys are awesome! Thank you!

Here we go AGAIN...

was my my first thought when I started spotting. I put off going to the dr. I allready knew what he was going to say... but I went ahead and went to be sure there wasn't something else going on. I went to the Dr. yesterday. He did a ultrasound and a blood test. I am miscarrying. I was expecting this to happen so I am just fine. No tears. :o) We were thinking we were done before we found out I was pregnant so it was a bit of a suprise and it hadn't even felt real yet. So really, I am fine!!! :o)
