uncle 'little" Sean

two weekends ago we went down to l.a. to watch Sean play volleyball. His team is really good, and he is a great asset to it. He plays all the way around and in my opinion has the best court vision i have ever seen. We had so much fun!

Family Pics 2009

My cousin Tyler, was kind enough to take our family pictures this year. 1000 times better then dragging the kids to JP penny portrait studio. He Did a wonderful job and "the ranch" made a nice background. Thanks again Tyler!

One Crazy Lady!

maybe this is why all the grand kids can't get enough of grandma!! On Saturday she dressed up like a chicken, with a sigh that says "eat more beef" (like the chick -fil-a cow) we then went to chick-fil-a and in -n-out. The staff at chick-fil-a just laughed (kind of) but the In -n-out employees thought that, that was the greatest costume they had ever seen! just when you think grandma can't get any more loco!!

Ward halloween party 300+

Our ward halloween party was here at the house, we had homemade chili, a pinata, games, a hay ride and even a haunted forrest!! the idea sounded great but ended up being a lot of work. the boy scouts in the ward spent a couple of mutual nights cutting down trees in the front forrest to make a path for the hay ride, and Sean and Russell worked almost every night for a month on the haunted forrest located in the back forrest. Dad was a profeessional gardner for 2 days and My dear friend Julie spend hours with me buying decorations, making decorations, hanging lights, bats, and spiders!
It was a hit! we took over 300 people on the hay ride. Someone donated a 5 foot pinata full of candy, just a couple of wacks into it, the whole thing fell on the ground, Red Sean went to pick it up and put it back on the rope when about 75 kids jumped on top of him ripping it (the pinata) to shreds (wheres the camera!) I was most impressed with the haunted forrest, (i think everyone was). Befor going through (by ourselves! no tour guides) we meet in a little teepee to learn the history of the forrest, settelers, and indians that once inhabited the land, but now haunt it. it wasnt full of blood and guts, it was the starttling unknown walking on the marked path of the dark forrest, and little sean really got me good! (good thing I went to the bathroom before)
