Halloween Night

I just love Halloween, even though it is one of those crazy busy days. That seems like you are running around all day long. Well this Halloween was no different. Van Helsing woke up at 7:30am ready to put on his costume. So I let the other kids sleep in while I painted his face and finished some last minute touch-ups on his costume. The next time I looked at the clock it was 8:30 and "The Dead Princess" was still sleeping. We only had one-half hour to get her ready. So we curled her "Dead Princess Hair" and we painted her face then we got her all dressed. And of course mom has to take photos before they go to school. Treg got dressed in his costume and then him and I went to lunch with Christina and Caden. Of course we stopped by the Haunted House on the way home and took some photos. Then I got to go help with the craft in Matia's class. I have to say Katie did such a wonderful job with the activities she had planned. Count Dracula came and told some stories then they turned off the lights and used flash lights to find the bats hiding in the dark. It was super fun.Right after school we headed to Daddy's work for their work party. They had it well organized and the kids wanted to be in the costume contest. We didn't stay to find the results because the kids were so excited to go trick or treating to all the desks. We finally got to see where dad works.Then we came home and had pizza for dinner and Troy came over with his cute girls to go trick or treating with their cosins. I guess they had a lot of fun because they stayed out for a couple hours and came home with tons of candy. It was nice to have a really warm halloween for once. I don't ever remember it being this warm.
So later Kye and his girls came over to visit and they stayed till 11:30. Then we had busted out the boom-box and disco CD's and danced in the strobe light. We love those family dances we can act like complete fools and we still love each other. It was a great Halloween I will treasure these memories forever.

Jason Mraz

So Nancy and Earl invited us to the Jason Mraz concert at the E-Center. It was so fun because we haven't been to a concert in a very long time. So dropped of the kids at their Aunts & Uncles (which sometimes I wonder why they are so excited to get rid of me)then we dressed up and went to eat at Cabella's then to meet them at Costco. We rode up togther and talked about holidays and crazy parents. It was nice to hang with Earl and get to know him a little better. The concert was fun Jason was a great entertainer. We didn't know much of his music but it was fun none the less. Anything with Nancy is always fun she knows just how to "NOT LET YOUR MIND GET IN THE WAY OF YOU HAVING A GOOD TIME". Nancy is always upbeat and happy so it is easy to hang with her. You never have to worry about offending her or saying something wrong. She just gets me and I get her. Its nice to have a friend that knows your faults and still loves you.
Then he played Nancy and Earl's song and it was refreshing to see a love so new and strong. Then he played a song called Lucky and I just couldn't think of how much I love Terry and how he is truely my best friend. He teases me and tells me I am the luckiest in this relationship but little does he know I believe I am lucky to have him. Except those few times that I would love to kick him out on his butt! But I guess those are the times that makes us appreciate the good times! I am LUCKY, yes I am. Thanks Nancy and Earl for the good times!

Last Hunting Attempt

So this years hunting expiditions did not go as planned. We were hoping it would be a lot more sucessful then it was. However, I must say it was fun even though Terry didn't get anything. Personally I don't think it was Terrys abilities that kept him from getting a kill. I think it was more like Matia's prayers were answered. Matia hates the thought that her dad was out there to kill an innocent animal. So we kept trying to tell her that we are just maintaining the big game. And if hunters didn't do their job then they will just kill themselves off anyway because of the lack of food and overwhelming animals. As you know I just love to get out in nature and enjoy the peace and beauty of it. Four wheeling is one of my favorite things to do. So it is just perfect. However, this year I somehow really hurt my wrist and can barely use it.So I was just thankful to have a son who is such a wonderful driver. He took me all the way up and back without complaining. I think we drove about 20 miles so it was really nice of him to be there for me. Thanks for the ride, and thanks Terry for getting us up and out there.
