Hula Girl

Ana fit perfectly into this sweet dress from Granny. We added long sleeves and tights for warmth cause Halloween in Utah is COLD. She must have charmed all the neighbors because her bag is bursting with candy.

Porch Pumpkins

Jack-o-Lanterns on display. (Meili's is the swine flu pumpkin with the pig nose.)

Belle of the Ball

Meili is attending her high school's masquerade ball tonight. We spent the last week pulling this costume together after she found this gorgeous dress of my mom's while rummaging through my closet. I figure mom must have worn it in the early 60s. Anyone know for sure? If you haven't guessed, Meili is dressed as Belle from Beauty and the Beast. We even found the perfect earrings in my mom's jewelry box. Thank you, Grandma!

Carving Pumpkins

Fall Band Concert

Eliah showing off his great drumming skills.

Ana at the Pumpkin Patch

The Kindergartners had a fun field trip to the Pumpkin Patch, and I went along. Ana had a wonderful time with her classmates. They tried to get lost in the cornmaze. Then they played for an hour on the cute playground. You can see it was a beautiful day.

Birthday Cards

Can you believe we were in Disneyland on Daryl's birthday?! Cruel family. The girls tried to make it up to him the day we got back with these cute posters. Ana's says: "Love dad. . . hot pop. . . bump (don't get that!) . . . Go Dad. . . you're the best." Cute, huh?!

Destination: Disneyland

We had an opportunity to take a trip with Stephen & Debbie and Katie & Dave. Natalie & Abbie met up with us too! There's nothing like being at Disneyland with your family. And I mean that in a good way!
