Thank You

"A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including their life. That is beyond honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer remember that fact. Thank you to all who have served, are serving, and will serve."

I copied and pasted this from facebook... I don't know who the author is.

Thank you, Grandpa, for serving our country. I love you so much.

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to all of the veterans who have served, are currently serving, and will serve our country in the future. It makes me sick to think that people protest at homecomings and funerals of these great men and women.

I think it is important to remember that weather or not you support the war, you should still support these great people who are fighting for what they believe is right.

We owe our lives and freedom to them. May God watch over them and bless them.

Happy Halloween 2010

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

(I wish you could see Little Man's eyes a little better. The dumb mask kept slipping up.)

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Halloween weekend. This was the first Halloween that Parker actively participated in and enjoyed.

So last year I loved my sister, Rikki's, costume and called her pretty much the day after Halloween and 'claimed' it for this year. I'm so glad she let me, because I must say that I made a great Cruella Deville and Parker was the cutest little Dalmatian ever! I wish Matthew would have joined in the fun and gone as Jasper or Horrace, but he was a party pooper.  Oh well, we still had so much fun!

On Saturday we went to our ward's Trunk-or-Treat activity.

 I wonder if  'coming out of the closet' about my smoking habit at the church Trunk-or-Treat will get me released from my calling... Hmmm....

All of us ended up at Milliard's after all our festivities.

Bikers, 101 Dalmatians and Tourists... Oh my!

(Paige, Nathan, Parker, me, Brooke and Anthony)

What a fun night!

On Sunday we went to over to our friends house to participate in the annual homemade doughnut festivities. Oh-so-yummy! And oh-so-bad-for-you!

Next year hopefully we will be home in the evening for all the trick-or-treaters. I've gotta say that the ones that caught us at home LOVED the Play-Dough and Silly Bandz that we gave out this year.
