Grand Finale

And since I started off this trip down memory lane with a picture of Brian as a child Halloween star. I'll end it with the only two pictures I could find of me on Halloween when I was a kid.

Raggedy Ann

Witchy-poo

Some finale, eh?

Halloween 08

Sorry to disappoint! Two posts earlier are pictures from this year! I didn't mean to give a spoiler. We had a trunk-or-treat, and I couldn't wait to put up pictures. We are Mama Witch, Daddy Zombie, Spidey, and Geisha...

Remember Last Year?

Just the coolest Star Wars family EVER!

Did I mention...

....that we love Halloween?!

First Halloween

Here are pictures from Nora and Ethan's first Halloween...

Lady Bug

Charlie Brown

And just for kicks... Here is "White and Nerdy" and Dolly.

Picture Tag

I got tagged, sorta. It's a tag from my friend chella's blog. It's fun, so I did it!

First, the rules: Go into your picture folders and find the 4th folder, then click on the 4th picture and post it, then tell the story about the picture!This is Nora when she was just barely 1 yr old. She has always had the best hair. But for about the first year of her life it grew straight up. My brother-in-law Jeff took this picture. It is February in TX, cold and rainy. That's our back yard. I love Nora's chubby cheeks and her beautiful big brown eyes, but the hair is what takes the cake every time.

Secret Identity

Betcha didn't know that Superman is actually just.....


Spiderman's secret identity....

Bear Lake

Brian had a few days off from school this week so I said, "Let's get away!". Brian's uncle has an unfinished (almost finished) cabin up at Bear Lake, and so we called him up and asked if we could please spend two nights there. This is Brian's very very generous Uncle Denis, and he of course said yes. The only thing is that the forecast for Bear Lake this weekend included snow, snow and more snow. And the cabin isn't yet hooked up for plumbing and electric... Who cares! And off we went. So there were 3 major power cords jimmy rigged from a source outside the house so we could plug in space heaters, TV, and the microwave. We filled the bathtub up with a hose from outside and used the water to flush the toilet (TMI?). We brought snacks, frozen dinners, milk, cereal, hot chocolate and drinking water. And you know what, we had a great time.

Static Electricity
So cute!


It took 20 minutes to get them dressed to play outside in the snow. They stayed outside in the snow for 7 minutes.



COLD.
This is a picture of the road on the drive home. This is when it started to get better. I was too scared to take a picture while the conditions were worse. But we made it home safe and sound.

Long time, no blog

Sorry.

Besides the fact I was deathly ill (ok, I'm exaggerating, but I wanted to die), I've been in a bit of a blogging slump. Not because I didn't have things to blog about, but because I'd rather take a nap or clean the house when I had a spare minute. So here are the posts I meant to get around to...I was gonna write about how I made stuff out of peaches too (only not with all my sisters)

We went to Cornbelly's. It was fun.

There are princesses at Cornbelly's.

I potty trained Nora.

Ethan went to a BYU football game with Brian where according to Ethan, "BYU totally scored!"

I fed my children nutritiously.

My other parents came from TX to visit us.


We had a lovely picnic in American fork Canyon.

The End
