Happy Haunting

Happy Halloween All!
The kids had Harvest parties in their classes at school. They are not allowed to celebrate any holidays here in Washington. Which meant no Halloween parades. In between school and going out Haunting, Megan became a new Scentsy Director, and then the fun started. We got all dressed up, and went to the ward Halloween extravaganza. Riley was Batman, Brady was a Pirate, and Tava was the cutest little cow.
At the ward Halloween party there was a pie eating contest, homemade ice cream, and trunk or treating.
A fun time was had by all.

Twas the Day Before Halloween

I let the kids stay home from school. We went out to breakfast, and then came home to carve our pumpkins. We didn't make it very far, but as of right now they are just hollowed out. Yes we are lazy bumms, but we had a lot of fun getting that far.

Spagetti Dinner

Need I say more.

Brady's 1st Day of School

Brady has finally started school. He is so grown up and loving his Kindergarten class. His teacher is Mrs. Bender and he has a new friend Ralph. It took the school a whole month to decide that he was going to be in Kindergarten instead of Pre-School this year. He will still get his speach therapy, and one day we hope to be able to understand everything he says.

River Front Park

While Grandma and Grandpa Mick were in town we took them to River Front Park. We had lots of fun. The park features a Red Rider wagon that is humongous. You go up the stairs of the wagon, and then slide down. Even Grandpa went down the slide. We also rode on the Carousel, and we fed the ducks, until we saw the sign that said,"Please do not feed the ducks!"
We hope that you will all come to Spokane and take a tour of the park with us.

Riley's Baptism

Riley was baptised a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on September 27, 2008. It was a very special day. Grandma and Grandpa Mick came to Washington to share in this occasion with our family. Riley said that when he came out of the water he was shaking with fear, and the look on his face confirmed that. Grandma Mick gave a wonderful talk on the Holy Ghost. We are so proud of Riley.
