Halloween...

Halloween is over again for another year! The kids had a great time trick or treating in my mom and dad's neighborhood, they know lots of kids from school there. They got so much candy! And as Jeremiah said, real candy not all that cheap junk! Sam was a presidential candidate, perfect because he loves attention, and Elisabeth was Hermione from Harry Potter, perfect for our little know it all! Happy Halloween!

The End of Flag Football

The End of Flag Football!
Tonight was the last game of flag football, and finally it didn't rain so I got some pictures. Sam might not be a super star, but he had a lot of fun! This is a picture of him and his buds Josh, Johnny and Jordan.

6 and 1 Baby!

Hopefully, you all watched the Monday Night Football Game last night!? Yea, all you doubters, that Brett is to old...did you see those to 80 plus yard touchdowns!!! And i'm sure you saw us up in the third bowl! It's really crazy when you go to Denver, with all their "loyal" fans, and you see cheeseheads everywhere! We had a great weekend? day? 36 hours? Sunday we left about 10:00am and we got to Brooke and Ryan Weirs house about 7:00pm. Thank you Brooke for the yummy dinner and bed to crash in! (We had so much fun playing with the boys, our kids are getting so big!) Monday we did some shopping and visited the Air Force Academy, which is awesome, both of us dreamed of flying jets in our younger years. Then we headed downtown, when we got there it was so crazy it was like a home game, their were Green Bay fans tailgating everywhere!
And what a great game, the Pack finally got a running game going and oh you gotta love Brett Favre just letting those long ones rip!
Then we jumped in the car, and drove home to Salt Lake, we got here about 5:45am, slept until 11:00am and then it was off to work and back to the kids!
Was it worth it you ask?
YES!!!

Oh Jack O' Lantern!
With the beautiful weather our annual family pumpkin carving got moved outdoors! The kids love getting really messy, an our kids were big enough to it mostly on their own! Yea, no sticky mommy!

And...Guess What?...a friend of a friend offered us tickets to the Packers vs. Broncos game on Monday night! We decided to call it an adventure, bought the tickets (for cheap) and Sunday we are driving to Denver! We'll drive back after the game, crazy huh? Go Pack Go!

Go Sam!

Sam is playing flag football with his buddies from school. He usually play defense, but today he was feeling kinda bummed about never touching the ball. He played 3 offensive plays, and got to "run a screen," talk about a little thing making a boy happy. He made it 2 or 3 yards before his flag was pulled, but yea he ran the ball!

Finally the birthday is over!
Elisabeth and Ashlyn had their friend party tonight at Build-A-Bear. They had a great time! They each invited friends and they all made bears, dogs or whatever. I must thank Miss Erin there, what a great thing to just give them over to her, and she held their attention the whole time! And the best part is...no mess at my house!

Look Who's 8!
Our baby girl turned 8 yesterday! She told us she really doesn't feel that much different than when she was 7! What a birthday she had, thanks to grandma and grandpa Johnson, and Joe and Randi for the iPOD she has danced and sang for two days! Thanks grandma and grandpa Rigby for the new bike! Maybe she'll learn to ride without training will now! Elisabeth took treats to school and is student of the week! She also thinks it is cool that her birthday was on Columbus Day and Red Ribbon week! Elisabeth is a good girl, we are so happy to have her in our family!
Elisabeth is going to join Activity Days now too, that is a church group for girl 8-12 years old. They asked her her greatest blessing and she said her family, and if she had hour to do what ever she wanted what would she do? She said just hang out with my cousin Ashlyn. So I thought I would include some cute cousin shots! Ashlyn and Elisabeth are three days apart in age and both have the birthday silly's. And the group shot is all my nieces and nephews (12 plus my kids!) and the baby is Jeremiah's niece Aynsley! She is so cute!
