The Lost is found

Before you read this post I need to apologize up front to anyone and all who have slept in our home in the "girls" bedroom. So sorry to the following people: Brian and Ann, Brady and Stephanie, Joanna and Chris, Sheldon and Wendy, Liseanne and Jeff, Morgan and Madison and anyone I have forgotten about. And by the way It's ALL Liseannes fault :)


After Liseanne graduated from high school she wanted a new pet so she bought a little cute frog. She would feed it and made sure that it had the water it needed, and watched it play................... Until.....................

It got out of the glass container. We looked and looked and looked for this poor little frog. We looked all over in Liseanne's bed room, looked under the stairs, the wash room, every where, finally I figured it must have gone down the drain in the wash room looking for water.

FAST FORWARD 10+ years

I moved the beds out of the girls room, mattresses, box springs, everything out, and as I was picking things up off the floor there was this thing on the floor that I thought was a piece of wood...until I looked at it and I have never dropped anything sooooo fast. It was a dried up old frog.
The poor little thing must have climbed into the box spring and died there and every time we had someone live with us we have used our box springs and so the frog just stayed there.

I really do clean my house. But if you were to go by this story you would wonder.

But to let you all know....... I gave the frog back to Liseanne and she gave it a proper burial.

Halloween Season

This is a long post so if you don't look at it all, I'll understand. As you all know the pumpkin walk was last week and so I'm posting some of the pictures I took.

The mushrooms I did.....

And this wild cat....

But most of the carving I did were all these logos..... the pumpkin in the middle asks how many of the logo can you identify?

Then of course there are always the K.K. pumpkins......

O.K. I only took a picture of half of the K.K. pumpkins but you get the picture there are a lot of them.

We Also had some very special visitors

These visitors are from the 501st and they were very nice to come and entertain the people who were standing in line.

They came Thursday and Friday. Most of them were from the Provo area. That's a long drive round trip for 2 nights.

And if course you all know who this character is. He was really fun to watch interact with the kids as well as the adults. He really got into it. The only thing I feel bad about was that I didn't get a picture of Brian with all these guys. By the way his costume really turned out GREAT even if I do say so my self.

All of us that were there had a lot of fun, You guys be nice these cute girls

But as the night got colder it was bundle up in as many blankets as needed to keep warm. Hot soup and hot chocolate helped too!

OK that was the weekend, but then it was time for the K.K. party and that meant more work

So while dad was out side working we were inside working.......you choose where you would rather have been.....in side or out side.

We couldn't do this without all the help from parents.

Each game has 5 kids to a group and there are 18 groups. By the time you play your game 18 times you are so ready to go home.

each game will last about 5 min. "Alphabet bingo"

fishing for letters

"Elefun" catch the butterflies....

Bean bag toss....

Story time in the "Yak Yak room"

waiting to pin the nose on the Jack-O-Lantern

musical chairs......cousins

match game plus add one more cousin

Halloween bingo..... "It's more fun to make up your own game."

We had lots of help this time which was soooooo nice. "The Marshal girls." were all able to sit at one table and help.

Watch out Willey..... the Montgomery girls were a big help at this game.

This was the best spot to be at....refreshments........3 cute little cousins. And what does it take to feed all these cute little kids at the party?

Yup that's packages and packages of cookies.

This little Dr. had the best of it all, lots to eat and teachers to hold him.

Mom and son.....mom was a little wild!

And this is what happens when you've partied all morning.

What would we do with out Donna..... she does all out dishes and cleans up after all of us.

The teachers waiting for the bell to ring..... so they can help the kids get to the next game.

We did have time to have our picture taken.

O.K. We even had fun!
