Honor Roll

Since the kids had school off for Veteran's
Day, we headed down to Phoenix for the day.
While I went in the temple, Jason took the kids
through the Visitors Center and they did some
modeling for him. :0) After that, we headed
to Target and daddy spoiled all the kids.

Back to reality, the girls had their
Honor Roll Assembly today. Sydney
missed High Honors by a small fraction.
To get High Honors you need straight A's.
Sydney had one B+, which still qualifies
for Honor Roll...good enough for me!

Summer and Savanah were two of the
smarties in Jr. High. Way to go girls!!!

The picture below shows how few actually make
Honor Roll in Jr. High. Amazingly, only 3
of them made High Honors (all girls).
Summer says that's embarrassing,
but I say she gets to go to college
for free. WooHoo! Keep it up, Sum!!!

I'm so proud of my girls!!!

Kade is coming to visit!!!

Kade is our superhero! He is doing
so well and we get to see him! We are
so excited to get to spend the evening with
him and his family. 2 months have passed
since the accident and he is doing great!
You can read his story & updates here.

Trick-or-treat

Dummy me, I left my camera at the
Parrella's after the Halloween party.
Luckily Amy saved the day and brought
me it today. So, better late than never!

I cannot believe the one full-body
shot I have of Ty is out of focus! :0(
He was the cutest cowboy sheriff ever!!!
He got 4th place in the costume contest!

Summer even looks beautiful with her neck
and forehead cut open. I love those blue eyes!!!

Our piece-de-resistance was our very
own KFC chicken. Sydney was the hit
of the night. She won 3rd place in the costume
contest, but I swear the judges must not
have realized it was a homemade costume.
They must have assumed it was store-
bought because it is so cute!!!
Humble, aren't I!?!

We got the feet idea from a
Martha Stewart baby costume.
Kitchen gloves...too funny if you ask me!!!

Liza and Sydney had a ball. We took a hayride
to uptown and never saw them again. Luckily
Ty still enjoys hanging out with his parents!
Happy Belated Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!

Our kids are getting too old!
They've reached the ages where
they refuse to allow mom and dad
to have complete creative control
of their pumpkins. :0(

Jason had them draw their pumpkin
faces by themselves. Ty decided on
a bat....look carefully! :0)

Jason helped Ty carve out his bat
with two big eyes. He was quite proud!

Sydney had a cute pumpkin design.
Her jack-o-lantern even had blush!

We've been addicted to Food Network Challenge.
They recently had an ultimate pumpkin carving
episode. Needless to say, Summer decided
she had the skills necessary to pull off an
extreme pumpkin. We'll let you decide!

She had raised features and she carved
away the excess. It looks pretty cool, but
it doesn't show well in 2D pictures.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

How's your weather?

We had soccer practice in the snow!
SNOW before Halloween in Arizona
is just plain crazy! LOVE IT!!!

Ty was playing in it barefoot.
He is one warm blooded soul!

Sydney was cold, cold, cold.
Notice her fun earrings?
Clip-on skeletons!

In the attempt to stay warm, Summer
decided to stay inside and entertain me
with her Michael Jackson impressions.
Guess we need to go see his
movie this weekend.

What's your weather like?
