Thanksgiving 4 day weekend.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We definately did!
We ate a lot of food and had great friends to help us enjoy the long weekend.

Shiver me timbers! Arrrrg, its family reading night.

Edahow had the big pirate event for family reading night. It was so cool, someone here in town had made a whale that was only 1/3 the size that they normally would be and they blew it up in the gym. In these pics the girls and I are inside the whale. It was huge!

Beware of crazy pirates!











This is how big it was on the outside. It barely fit in our entire gym. We had fun and really cool whale! Peace, love and save the whales!!!

Fall Leaves!!

This is for you...Dad and Mom. This doesn't really look like much work got done, but we really did clean up. This weekend was so nice and a perfect day to be outside. You guys have the best leaves ever!!

very sad night!

Last night some friends of ours lost their home. I was at friends last night up Pocatello creek and they live a ridge over from where this fire took place. we smelled a fire and kept checking up the mountain and could see a glow and finally we walked up to see if a fire was headed down the valley and I took these pics of the house. It ended up being a good friend of Pat's and their kids go to school with Oakley and Cedar. We are so sad and feeling so stunned. Both of the kids were with their mom in the house when this started and are all three fine. Its Sunday at 1pm and we don't even know if the dad knows cause he was fishing in Salmon this weekend. This home was in the parade of homes last year. It really makes you think about how this would feel, fire is so devistating. there is just nothing left.

Trick or Treat!

here we have a bit of the 60's and the 70's, these guys had such a fun night and they look so dang cute!
and then here we have Ozzy, the Slayer, and a bad pumkin guy, (Oakley is in the middle) These boys got a ton of candy and covered a lot of territory this Halloween.
Pat's trying to get some of the goods.













This is how these guys normally look anyway, but thought I'd get a picture of them anyway!

So we hope everyone had a SPOOKY Halloween! We spent Thursday night, carving pumpkins and roasting some pumpkin seeds. The kids use the sheets that you can do dot to dot to cut your design. I think the pumpkins look amazing. This has always been so fun and they love getting the goo out of the pumpkins.
