Costumes


Our local police station had a trunk or treat where the policemen gave out candy. The kids got to see a swat car, mounted police, one of the police canines, and a tow truck.

Dreams come true

Some of our friends recently moved to Idaho, but they made some small children's dreams come true.
Apparently Jimmy has been wanting to learn to skateboard. He's not very good at staying on it by himself, but he really loves it. He's out "riding" all the time.
Kristi has been asking for a dictionary and a globe for Christmas. She got both of these wishes. I think she ended up with about six dictionaries. This one is her favorite- the UNabridged dictionary- which weighs about as much as she does.
Her globe wish got granted pretty amazingly. Check out how cool this globe is! You can't really tell in this picture, but there are the faces of explorers and the dates of their voyages. But then it gets better. When you turn the globe on, the path they traveled magically appears.
Here's ALMOST everything she got. She's very excited to get to read all of the pony books.

Thanks so much Goings family for making their month! Love you guys and good luck in Idaho.

Homecoming 2009 (Amy)






Last week was homecoming week and since I'm in student council that means busy, busy, but also tons of fun!! We had great dress up days and different activities and tailgate, football game, and the dance were definitely good stuff!! :)
I went to homecoming with my friend joey in a group with my best friend and her date, another couple, and two girls who wanted to go but aren't old enough to date :D Julie was nice enough to let me use one of her dresses and shoes and her and Megan even did my hair and makeup! Thanks guys!! :)
Here's some pictures from the fun-filled week!

Mom's Black Eye

Okay, here's the deal. I'm going to post just the picture first for about a month. Please comment to leave your idea/story for how this happened to Mom. Then, in about a month or so, our family will vote and the winning tall tale and the actual story will be posted. Get Creative!!

Jimmy's Wheels



Jimmy has finally decided that he wanted to learn a bike, so one day he just did it.
