School fight

Jackie came home with a broken nose today. The reason is because Hope got into a fight with some of her old friends. They haven't been getting along lately. Anyways, Jackie stepped in, but the girl hit her in the nose before she could do anything. So now we have to go to the hospital. Those pictures will come soon.

Just kidding, Jackie has stage craft and so her teacher made her up for Halloween.

Pumpkin Carving

Last night we were invited to go to Uncle Sid's house to carve our pumpkins. We had a lot of fun, as usual when we carve pumpkins. Here we are gutting out our pumpkins














Here we are again.



This is me gutting out my pumpkin also. Hope didn't want to carve a pumpkin because she hates to gut them out. To me, this is the best part!

This is my mom's pumpkin. She chose the hardest one in the book. She said the hardest part was the pitchfork Emma and Dad's pumpkin,








Taylers pumpkin,

















This is my pumpkin. I was lazy and chose the simplest one there was.






Uncle sids pumpkin, which he carved in like two minutes. (it didn't take him very long at all. Even i took longer than him and i had an easy one!)



And last but not least, Sydney's pumpkin.

Halloween Party!

George and I were invited to go to a Halloween party with a whole bunch of other people from our ward. So we decided to go dressed up as Sonny and Cher! There was a costume judging , and we won!




























Everyone had to bring some kind of fingerfood to the party also. So we went onto the internet and this is finally what we decided to do. A pumpkin puking up its guts (which in this case is guacamole). Then we brought a bowl of tortilla chips. They judged on the best food too, and we won again!

Homecoming

Hope was asked to Homecoming. After weeks of shopping and hours of make up and Hair, this is "THE" look for 2007 Homecoming.















Hope is lucky enough to have an awesome friend who came over and ran around like crazy, helping us get her all dolled up. Karen is so much fun to have around.

I invited a bunch of friends over because everyone wanted to see "the dress" so we looked like we had paparazzi in our house. Lots of camera flashing and I have to say everyone was really nice to let us get lots of pictures. Hope and Koda both could have been upset but I think they handled it great. I guess Hope wouldn't have been upset, she told me to call everyone :) Poor Koda just had to put up with it. But isn't that what boys do, they have to wait for us for hours and then smile for all the pictures. I think Hope looks so beautiful, he was lucky to get a chance to wait, right :)

This is Koda, waiting patiently for Hope to get ready. He came an hour early!!!!!! I guess they didn't communicate the time very well.

Then after waiting for Hope to get ready, Koda had to wait for George to get home.

Finally George came home, the dreaded "TALK" didn't happen (we only kidded Koda a couple of times about that) Now where is HOPE!!!

There she is, WOW!!!! The corsage looks beautiful too. Now where is the ride????

Hope, Karen and Katrina. Friends are so great.

Hope, Koda, Jason and Katrina. Group dating, that's the way to make parents feel at ease :)

Hope and Koda, they look cute together. Off to Red Robin for dinner. Then lots of dancing.

Hope had a blast!!!

Squirrel

Here is the little (BIG) squirrel that likes our deck. For some reason the flash makes it look even more posessed than I made it sound, but he does look a little creapy with the white eyes. Jackie can't get over his feet, my children all have foot phobia :) I think they are very interesting to watch as they run and jump from branch to branch.
