2008 Family Pictures

Hi all! We had our family pictures made in record time this year (yeah us) and just got them back. Apparently the kids don't want to give up the tradition of black on black pictures....they have always called them "Our floating head pictures". So we continued our tradition!

My goulish kids....not really

Here are the kids and their friends on Halloween night. Arrgghhh............I'm a pirate

Kinzi and her best friend Arica who is an Egyptian Princess

Arica, Kinzi, Gunnar (Pumpkin Head) and Nathan (Alien)

Nathan....is an Alien/Ghoul.....he thought Gunnar's brother Tyler would be going trick or treating this year but he ended up having to play in band at a ball game so Nathan (after taking last year off trick or treating ) went with Kinzi, Arica and Gunnar.

This is what greeted the little trick or treaters at my door.

Almost Halloween Part 1

It's almost Halloween here....actually by the time you read this it will be Halloween! We added a bunch of different Halloween decorations to our house this year and I thought I'd show you.

Here's my new witches shelf....got the idea out of a magazine. Chuck made the shelf and I painted it ....everything else was purchased or found at a thrift store. I thought it was cool....I'm going to make a similar one for Christmas that "Santa" hangs his stuff on.

My new table decorations...if the picture isn't to clear click on it and it will bring up a bigger version (if you view it from my blog)

Shelf accessories from Michaels

Our fun little village....we love the mummies sitting on the bench

This is my eyeball wall....I have eyeballs all over the table too! I also found this idea in a magazine!

Almost Halloween Part 2

I'm going to have to upload my pictures in two segments....blogger isn't cooperating.

****Kinzi drawing her pattern on her pumpkin

**Kinzi with a power tool....yikes!

***Nathan trying to cut through the thickest pumpkin we've ever bought!

****Mackinzi's pumpkin

****Nathan's pumpkin....this shiny stuff on them is Vaseline to keep them fresh for tomorrow night!

Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze

This weekend we visited Buckaloo Farms outside of Tucson. They have a huge pumpkin patch where you take a horse-drawn carriage ride to get to the pumpkins. We each chose a pumpkin we'll be carving for Halloween. We also went through the corn maze. In the corn maze, you have to find 12 check points. The kids lead us to each check point, yeah! We had a lot of fun!

New Blog Look

Sorry for the messed up blog....working on a new look.....it's not going as well or as fast as I wanted it to.

Updated Pages

I've updated the pages some more, I'm happy with the coloring on them. I'm trying them out in black and white and color....that's why there is two of the same thing.
