Neighborhood Harvest Party!!

DANCING ANYONE?

My three kids really got into the dancing. It was so great to watch them, even Curtis did it for a little bit. Brandee Francis (neighbor) was teaching this dance to anyone that wanted to join in. Those of us who don't have the knack for dancing just sat and watched in envy to those who do, hence the picture taking!! The neighborhood (ward) put on a great party, we had a chili cookoff, homemade rootbeer, breadsticks, and yummy donuts (don't worry I didn't eat one, I was good), and lots of games with prizes for the kids (who as you can see got to wear there halloween costumes) All in all it was a great party!!

Our great primary president got into it and taught us a dance as well, she's even pregnant and still has rythem-I can't even walk in a straight line if I wanted to.

More of the kids dancing. Curtis has a lot of movement going on-not sure if that is what is supposed to be happening but at least he is having a great time!!

Now this was probably the greatest thing ever. You make paper-yes that's right-paper rockets and then you put them over the white tube looking things, then the kids push a button (that is what Kenadee is doing) and they go flying, and when I say flying it shoots up into the air as tall as a tree and then the rockets float back down. This was Jake's favorite place to hang out, he wanted to keep flying his rocket over and over. (it's attached to a compressor)

My own Jack Sparrow! Complete with all the makeup and the hair! He loves it!!

My little giraffe finally figured out how to get those lips to blow. They are about as big as his face. What a cute little giraffe, and he actually loves to wear his costume, he is always bringing it to me to put it on him!

PADME! With glasses!!

As you can see they all loved these lips that whistled when you blow, couldn't pass up on the great picture opportunity. Even Pricess Fairies love to hear it whistle!

Jake not really understanding the concept of waiting in line for the games, so Jon has got a hand on him so that we don't have a runaway giraffe, or a butting giraffe. Hate to upset all the other creatures at the party! There were some great costumes at the party.

We're fallin' for Birthdays!!

Happy 7th Birthday KeNaDEe!!

I can't believe that my little girl is 7 years old already! Where oh where does the time go? She was excited that her birthday fell on a school day so that she could say all day long that "Today is my BIrthDay!!" Whoever came across her path she would tell them, in case they were wondering or forgot. We went to dinner and then she got to FINALLY open her presents, then she got to pick the movie that we watched as a family-some of you are going to be shocked but she chose TRANSFORMERS 2, yep not some girly show but a real action packed adventure! Of course all the other kids were thrilled and they all loved it!!

Here she is with her cake and blowing out the candles, and yes we saved the cake and ice cream for when we were with Jon's family! Can't have to much of that lying around the house now can we?!?

Hannah Montana Cake
She was so excited for this gift, Jon's parents gave her some new pj's with a nice soft & cozy pink robe. She is in pajama heaven!!

Waiting to open presents at Grandma's house!

She is my girly girl, she loves anything that has to do with make-up or toe/nail polish. So that is exactly what she got and you can see how excited she is by it!

Yes I know what you are all thinking-you said that you would never get one of these-and yes I did say that, but I didn't know what else to get. She loves it, it makes her happy so I guess what I said earlier-well I was wrong, it's not as bad as I thought it was going be.

Here's the lip gloss and nail polish that she got to go with her pedicure set that she wanted sooooo badly.

Happy birthday my love, we love you very much!!

More pics of grandpa's funeral

Here are more pictures of grandpa's funeral, it was a very neat service as far as funerals go. I hope that you are able to see the pictures, I wanted to post them all seperatly but for some reason (could be operator error) it would only let four go at a time so i decided to just do it this way so that there wasn't four different posts about the same thing.

Grandpa's Funeral

We love you Grandpa! You left an amazing posterity, and you will be greatly missed. We will miss your smile, laughter, hugs and especially your great sense of humor. You truly loved people the way that I can only imagine that Christ loved those that he came in contact with. You were a great example of a person who had Christ-like values, and I can only hope to be able to live up to be the kind of person that you were. We love you and are grateful for the lessons that you taught us, and we will be together forever someday!!

Gettin' Jiggy with it!!

I tried to post this but couldn't figure out how to-not computer savvy-anyway if you want to see the movie that was made it is at the very bottom of my blog. If you want take a gander go for it, it is pretty dang cute. My family sure knows how to shake it!!
