Just a reminder to make your voice heard. I sure hope Prop 8 passes in California. Tomorrow will be an exciting day!

Awesome costumes!!!

There were some neat costumes on Halloween. My favorite was a boy in our ward names Nolan...however, I didn't get a picture of his sumo wrestler costume. Josh was awesome and Hunter was a great Indiana Jones! Miranda's Rapunzel costume was so creative. Heidi (her mom, Brad's sis.) is so good at that! The baby is Kyle's friend Lillian, isn't she a cute little flower. Her mom has great taste!

Trick or Treat!

We had Trunk or Treat at church. The kids made quite a haul and were very wired on candy (no different than me when I was little). I remember my parents letting me take my whole Halloween bucket and keep it in my room. I could eat it whenever I wanted. So I guess I am a "mean" mom, because we already took our kids candy away and are rationing it. I still haven't decided if it is better to let them gorged and be done with it or drag it out over the next few months until only stale pieces are left that no one wants anyway. Grace sure enjoyed getting the candy. I caught her taking Daddys big snickers bar and hiding under the desk! We enjoyed visiting our neighbors and for most of them we were the only ones who knocked on their doors. It was a rainy night and our streets have no street lights. I wouldn't trick or treat there either if I didn't live there. I would go to well lighted subdivisions where the houses are close to together. I hope everyone had a great Halloween. We are now entering my favorite time of year...Thanksgiving and Christmas! We are getting ready for Disneyland too. The kids are earning their Disney dollars and are excited it is only a few weeks away. We get to fly this year (great deals on Alaska).

Family Ice skating

Grace, Kyle and I hung out in the viewing area while Brad and the other kids tried hard to ice skate. Even though most of them hung on to the wall, they loved it! Grace was going crazy, but she sure is cute. The kids want to go again soon...maybe I will give it a try. I have never been on ice skates before. Roller skates-yes...Ice skates no.
