The booty haul. And yes, the beer was my treat to myself for all the trick or treating I got to do hauling Charlotte...

Happy Halloween!

One of my favorite Halloween memories of Shane...in his pirate costume. About the age of 5 and still ready to listen to his mom...who was able to talk him into going to the doors and greet people with "Arrr...Treat or Treat!" and then after getting his candy at the door, thanked them by saying "Thanks Mate!" It was so cute!! :)

Bob and I played Mad Scientists at a costume party a couple of years ago AND won 2nd place in the costume contest! Bob wasn't so keen about long hair after an evening wearing it.

Halloween ideas?

This blog has become deathly silent recently. How about sharing some Halloween items . . . decorations, kids in costume, creative and funny jack-o-laterns? Where are all the contributers . . . aunts, uncles, cousins . . . let's share some family moments.

Ah...Fall!

We are enjoying the beautiful fall weather while we can...and not thinking about the weather that will be coming OR the holidays that will soon be upon us. It's only the here and now for me when fall arrives!

I'm a little late in organizing my vacation photos...this is Shane after our fishing trip in Florida earlier this year.

Happy October Birthday to:

On a family note...Dan and Sherri have moved to Seattle, sold their house in Denver, and were able to find a nice little rental house with the help of cousin Annette. (I'm still waiting for Dan to give his own blog update! HINT HINT!!)
