Happy New Year....2010!!!

From all of us, especially Natalie, Happy New Year!!

A Visit from Down Under

My nephew Kurt came to visit from Australia for a month so we had a great time showing him the sights of the USA! Here's a few memories! I got this picture out of order, but I wanted to put it in. We went to a Steelhead's Ice Hockey game and had a great time. Here is Mark, Katie, Emily & Kurt!

Halloween Party II

Ok, so a parent said to me after this year's Halloween party for the kids, that now that we've had a party 2 years in a row, it must now be a tradition! Hmmmm, I'm not convinced yet, but maybe! We had another fun party for some of Josh & Emily's friends this year, with lots of food, a fun scavenger hunt, and a scary movie to end with! I think they all had a really good time, and here's the proof! Emily & Ashley.... Twin blonde soccer player ballerina fairy princesses! Now that's a mouthful!
Eating some snacks before the pizza arrived...

Some of the boys.....Emily spray painted Josh's hair pink!

Hey, it's Michael Jackson.... aka Jacob!

Hey, Ashley ran into Spongebob on their scavenger hunt!

And Cruella Deville!

The "Electric Chair" man in our friend's haunted garage!

Hang out after the scavenger hunt....

Food!

Fun with Emily's friends!

This was the boys idea of fun..... playing a drinking game with cards and some soda!

Whatever keeps them happy right?!

Carving Pumpkins

Every year we have a FHE night where we carve pumpkins. This year only Kaitlyn and Matt wanted to do it.... I guess Josh and Emily think they are too old for that now! Party poopers! Katie & Matt had a fun time deciding what kind of faces to carve on their pumpkins and then we took pictures when we were all done. Smile!
Matt's pumpkin.... it has a scare on the side of its' face!

Katie's pumpkin has "hearts" in his eyes! Must be true love!

There's a spider on the loose! Agghh!!

Lights out!

Crazy Hair Day

The kids had Crazy Hair Day at school and Kaitlyn came up with the idea to stick a cup on her head and make a pony tail around it so it looks like she has a cone head! It looked pretty funny! Matt just went with a faux hawk... if that's how you spell it!
