Every year this guy in this neighborhood goes all out. ( I don't live by him but it is worth the drive. to see his house. I wish I had a video of it. A lot of it moves. It is really cool.) This year is even bigger then last year. I took pictures to show you how cool he decks out his house for Christmas.

Merry Christmas

Happy Birthday Ethan

Last Sunday evening we celebrated my son Ethan's Birthday. He turned 3 on November 21. We didn't do much planing. I got together with my brother in law's family. Ethan wanted a robot party so I made a robot cake and pinata. My camera didn't like me when they were all playing with the pinata so I don't have any pictures of it. I made it out of paper bags and put tissue paper on it and it looked like a robot. Ethan loved it and the candy that came out of it.

I made my cake at my home then we went to my mother in law's house for the party and it fell apart went I got there. Wished I took a picture at my home. O-well at least I do have a picture.

It was a fun birthday party. Next year I'll plan a head and do invitations.

Look I've got a Gummy eye ball!

Here is what you do when you find a gummy eye ball in your trick or treating candy bag. You take a big look at it. Add another eye ball to your two existing eye balls then through it in the garbage cause mom is has red ooze that looks like something else plus it feels too life like for Kiefer to really take a bit. Who could blame him.

Halloween fun!

All done!

I asked him for a picture

trick or treat!

I think it is a trick

kiefer with his cousin maddie and kassidy. two of kassidies friends.

My kids a fun with their cousins. We went to my brother in law's neigbor hood for trick or treating. Everyone was nice. Kiefer was a pirate, ethan was elmo and audrey was a lamb. Ethan got the hang of it fast. He would go ahead of us it was hard to keep up with him. He loved it. he'd ring the door bell then hold out his bag say trick or treating and then after he got the treat he'd say thank you. We did trunk or treating this year with our ward. He got confused when we were trick or treating he would some times go up to a trick or treater and trick or treat to them. That was funny.

Blast from the Past!

Welcome home Gerrit! My brother returned with honors after serving a mission in Figi for two years last June 18th 2007. We were very happy to see him. It took me a while to get these proofed but here they are. It's wonderful Elder Gerrit you were able to serve a mission. Loved the weekly emails. I miss that the most. But so glad he is back.

Give him a Mohawk!

Only Ethan can make a mohawk appealing. He is so cute with one. I just did it for a picture I was cutting his hair and left the middle. Spiked it for fun and took this picture. He hated it at first but when I cut it off he cryed all day saying "mohawk gone!". I felt bad but then again I don't want to go to church that way.
