Catch Up

Abbey ran for student council class representative and won!

James got into yellow spray paint at the yard

I drove by Jeremiah's grave site and found that someone had place a single flower there.

With the help of Sean and Cindy, I canned lots of apple pie filling.

We fit in a few more swimming days before it got too cold.

I made my traditional pies for Thanksgiving.

James and Jared raced on these forever.

Bob turned 8 on November 28, and he didn't want pictures taken. I only got a few.

I canned 120 pounds of chicken, and most of them popped because I didn't cook them long enough (I think). I won't be doing that again for a while.

We did a "booth" for Merry Main Street and this picture of Jay and Bob roasting marshmallows for s'mores over the firepit they built was in the newspaper.

Brook picks wild and crazy outfits to wear.

Josh and Kelly did a float for the light parade. They have a dog boarding business, so they put a kennel up in the back of the truck and all the kids rode in the parade with them.

After the light parade.

The kids played in a small Christmas recital at Richard's music. Janna

Emma

Abbey

Bob with Aunt Sherri. I tried to get picture of them taking a bow, but they were too fast. In a hurry to be done.

We had our ward Christmas party with a nativity, special number, and Santa visiting the kids.

KristaSuzee with some static hair.

Ashley

We celebrated Brook's birthday early with Ashley and Krista because.....

We're going to Disneyland on her Birthday! We haven't been in almost 5 years. I can't wait!

And this was the weapon with Busy Body James in the lavatory. Our downstairs toilet has been clogged with these 2 items for the last several months.

But after some blood and sweat last night, we have 2 functioning toilets again. This probably doesn't make anyone more happy than me.

Halloween 2010

This year we hosted a ward Halloween Carnival that turned out much better than I expected. I'll try to remember all the games/booths. We had rubber band guns to shoot ghosts.

A fishing pond.

Toss the hula hoop around the pumpkin.

Toilet paper toss.

Bob the soccer player drinking homemade root beer.

Aunt Debbie and cousin Traci at the toilet paper toss.

Darts to throw at balloons.

Lilly the fairy princess.

James (Robin) and me.

Abbey the bee.

Bat Girl Janna.

Not pictured are: Brook the princess and Jay the landscaper.

Other games we had were:

Pumpkin Hop

Haunted House

Candy Walk

Candy Corn Catch

Ping Pong Bounce-in-the-Bucket

Skeleton Race

Nerf Darts

Ping Pong Toss

Halloween Coloring Station

Picture Day 2010

It was picture day, and I won't say which ones, but I hope some of the professional pictures don't turn out like the ones I took at home. We were trying to practice smiling, and some weren't in the mood at 7:45 am.

Angle Orchard- Labor Day- 09/06/10

We picked lots of peaches and lots of apples. Now I just have to decide what to do with them.
