happy halloween!

Halloween.......the one day when we can dress up like anybody or anything and it's ok!  It's ok to look goofy or funny or weird or whatever!!  It's ok to not be yourself and step outside of our little bubble and be someone else!  And it's fun!!  

When I saw Adam's (my nephew) costume, I couldn't stop laughing!  It was pretty awesome.  Here he is in all his glory!  Can we say "welcome back kotter"!  

Here's Eli, Adam's little brother.  And Eli, don't hate me, but I really can't remember who you are!!  I think it's something 'cody'.  Maybe, colonial cody.....  I'm not sure, but you looked so cool!

This is a friend, Matt, I think.  He's the grim reaper!  (Did I spell that right?!)

Here's Blaze, the ref!  But, there is actually more to his costume that his mom later told me.  He's suppose to be wearing sunglasses and sporting a cane.  Can anyone guess what he really is?  Yes, he's a "blind ref"!  :)  How awesome and creative is that!

It's time for a group photo....  Um, Eli, what are you doing?!

Uh oh, I think the ref just threw the penalty flag!!  Eli, I think that's on you!  Could be illegal movement or something! :)

And we can't forget the beautiful Miss Abby, who tonight is a 'southern belle'!  I love her look!  It's so her!!

Another group photo.  We had to get the girls in one.  And I think we added somebody.  Oh, yes, that's Abby, the cat.  So cute! 

Um.....Eli, could you come back to earth please!?  Eli was definitely in character tonight!  But I still can't remember who he is!  

There's everybody!  Don't they look great!

My twin brother Chris!  We're getting ready to grill some yummy hamburgers and hotdogs! (He's serious about his grilling!) :)

Here I am with Chris!  I can't remember why I'm holding a pumpkin!

I hope everyone had a safe and fun halloween!!

Just a side note:  Did you happen to notice that none of us were wearing coats!!  You might not think that's a cool thing, but it so is!!  Usually during halloween, it's either snowing or freezing cold, or worse, both!  This day, I think, is in the record books for the hottest halloween here in Utah!  It was in the mid to high 60's.  Yeah for us!  

patrick....

OK.....I am way behind in posting, but I've been so busy lately! Sometimes I feel like I have to remind myself to breathe! I'm attempting to catch up. So, keep checking back, I have lots to post about.

**And for all the football fans, I will be posting more of the season real soon! (And I will give some info on ordering pictures on-line......Thank you so much for you patience!)**

This is my so very cute nephew, Patrick! (Yes, this is from when I was in New Orleans! ....Told you I was behind!) He's definitely another one of my most favorite little people! These pictures were taken at my parent's house. I love the brick!

abby....

I just wanted to share a few photos of Abby. We took a drive a week or so ago and I just loved all the colors around us. So of course I had to grab my camera and get a few shots in. I love this one....

tia....this one's for you!

Tia! ....You asked for it! ....And I delivered! :)

Just in case some of you don't know what I am talking about, let me explain....

Short version: In my post about New Orleans and Image X, Tia wanted to see the new jeans I got while I was down there. She was at my house the day I got back and I showed her my favorite, but unsure purchase of my vacation! She thought they were really cute, which made me feel so much better! Thanks Tia! :) You're awesome!

So, here they are!

And thanks Tanya for being my photographer!

adam & his baseball team!

I don't get to go to that many of Adam's baseball games because there's just so much going on. But I managed to go see him the other night. Adam's a great baseball player! He pitches and also plays first base. He's really good at both. And he's becoming a great hitter too!

Here he is pitching!

Some pictures of the team....

Adam playing first base...

Adam's up to bat....

Nice hit!

It's a single....

Nope, it's a double....

Actually, it's a triple!.... :)

And he's safe at home!

Just some random shots....
