Halloween 2008!!!!

Halloween this year was crazy as always! We had Trunk or Treat the week before and then did the haunted house thursday and halloween night! My kids always come up with the best costumes!! Lots of people have been telling Avy she looks like Stephanie from Lazy Town so she decided to show them! So cute! Kobe wanted to be an oompa loompa...and if you ask him he would say "old school" oompa loompa...awesome. My little Cashel decided on...yes...Paula Deen. So hilarious! She has been doing her little accent for months so it was perfect! I love my kids!!!


My crew

"WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU GUZZLE DOWN SWEETS
EATING AS MUCH AS AN ELEPHANT EATS
WHAT ARE YOU AT GETTING TERRIBLY FAT
WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL COME OF THAT
I DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF IT "

stephanie!!! Love all her arm poses...so not avy to pose!

"Hey yall! I'm Paula Deen! I like biscuits and butter...mmm,mmm,mmm! And some mayonaise!!"

Kobe looked so funny! Noone even recognized him!!!

Paula and London the pig! Olivia the precious little ladybug!

the trick or Treating posse! Fun group!

Kimmy, Me and Teri!!! Cashel got sick of her wig after 5 mins. like always so i tried to pull of the grey....this is what it would look like if i didnt dye my hair!

Happy halloween everyone!!! :)

masaquering of the gourds...

Yay!! Pumpkin carving!!! We had all the gang over for scooping out guts, a little knife wielding and delish caramel apples!!!


The fun part! Seth getting too into it....


Serious work....The pumpkin posse

Finished products!

Pumpkin Patch!!!

so since I havent taken my kids to a pumpkin patch in probably 4 years I decided to put my mom dress back on and give the kids a good ole time!! We went to this pumpkin patch near our house that had all the fun "rides", bounce house, "scary" maze and petting zoo...i gave my kids 4 quarters and said "knock yourselves out!!!"

My four little munchkins!

My gorgeous lady!

My little cutie

Mr. too cool

I wanted proof i was there...:)

Avalon spent 2 of her quarters on the bouncing camel...you can see it was real fun!

Kobe opted for the goats!

Cashel wanted the baby goat but the big ones totally dominated!!

"Do it yourself" face painting...I gave bruce a black eye. it was hot.

can she be any more precious?

So after taking a few picks we looked at the pumpkin prices and decided $14 a pumpkin was a little too steep...so we went to albertsons!!!

Halloween Family Dinner!!

A few weeks ago we had our annual Family Halloween Dinner! It was amazingly wonderful again thanks to mom!!! Great food great company!! Even Adam, Heather and the girls got to come this year!!! So fun!

Me, Jimbo and Adam

Cute sisters! Mom and Kathy!

Pops, Brucie and my Jason

the boys :) so adorable

Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts...

mutilated monkey meat (yes, i make AWESOME dead monkey heads...)

little birdies dirty feet....yuck

So I did it! I ran (and finished!) the Camp Pendelton 10k mud Run!!! It was soooo fun! The brothers and my dad were on a team and me, bruce, heather and 2 other friends were on a team (missed you kimmy :( ) Our "Lady Lumps" team came in 13th out of about 50 for the women teams, and we also bit around a 1/3 of the mens teams!!! The boys came in 22nd! It was mostly an uphil run with some mud pits, rivers, tire obstacles, walls, a lake and steep slippery hill...oh, and running 6 miles soaking wet with mud!!! But oh so fun! These pics dont really do the run justice....


Im buff and I know it. I love this pic...I'm hyper before a race! :)


At the start line!! If you look in the back..thats me on the ground!!!
