Joey was a Solider for Halloween!!

Joey decides that he wants to be a solider for Halloween. So we bought a new gun and visited the dollar store for pretend grenades and his helmet. Our dear friend Stephanie helped supply the vest and then it was official.

This was an action shot for Joey!

This face reminds me of someone I grew up with... does Mick ring a bell?









Joey had a good time!!

What do you do on Friday Evenings?

At our home we have a War on the brink...

Do you see these faces...they MEAN business!!

The boys are preparing for the big event! The boys have set up the boundaries and its time for WAR!

This is what its like in a house full of boys...I didn't play but that didn't not mean I was out of the line of fire!! The boys had a great time...we have found darts everywhere!! Oh the joys of boys!!

Joey is one year older!!

Its official, Joey has turned 9. He was super excited for his big day this year!! He really wanted this new Bumble Bee toy!! Oh to be a kid again!! It feels like yesterday when we were bring him home!!

Posts will come Soon......

Well I have been trying to get a new post up, however, we had an unwelcome visit from tons of Trojans and viruses. So we had to basically wipe the computer clean and erase everything. The computer is doing well now, but I can't get the Internet to work. Apparently when you wipe the computer it takes everything out, including the Internet information. I thought I was OK with computers but I just haven't had any free time to fix it. This is where the computer fairy would be very nice, to fix it all while I was busy dealing with LIFE!! Oh well, we can still dream!! Hopefully posts will be up this weekend!! We will have tons to post, Joey's BIG day is tomorrow!!

I can't believe that I will have a 9 year old tomorrow!! Where did the time go? Joey has informed me that he is a BIG kid!! He can't wait to be 9 already!! OH to be a KID again!

Thank you DAD for your Service!!

Thank you for your service! We love and appreciate it!! We are thinking about you on this veteran's day!!

The Great Pumpkin has arrived!!

The great pumpkin visited our house on Thursday evening. He left Joey two great gifts! They are a package of Nerf darts in camouflage! Just what any little boy would want!!

Joey is showing his goodies off! He barely ate any candy in waiting for the great pumpkin to come!!

The candy has been placed outside of his door and is ready to be trade for a gift!! Joey could barely wait to see what he would get!!

Joey's Primary Program

Joey is in senior Primary this year! He lets me know every Sunday, he is in the big primary!! He is no longer in the little kids primary!! (I have tried to explain they are the same primary, but I have lost this battle!!)










Joey worked hard memorizing his part for his big day! Joe and I were very proud, he almost did it without looking down at the paper. He looked at everyone in the crowd and looked at the paper, we never saw his eyes again! I think he was little frighten with everyone watching him!! There was so many people the back was opened, this was the first time that has happened! Well I don't know who was more happy for this program to be over, me or Joey. We escaped with no nose picking, funny faces being made, no frighting with anyone else. We did manage to get a half smile, half don't look at me mom your embarrassing me! But we both survived! (barely)

I was very proud of my little man with is BIG year in the BIG primary!! Now until next year we are all safe!!

FHE - Ghosting Friends!

We decided that we would deliver some goodies and run, or ghost a few people. Well that was the intention for Joey, but he did not tell me this when I made the cards out with our names on it. So we dropped a few goodies by some good friends house for FHE. We were trying to teach Joey a little about service!

This is the first time we dropped the goodies and ran that we got caught! We did our Bishop's house (we have double couple of different times) and we have never gotten caught. So we set the stage and review all th moves...well we dropped and ran, before we made it to the end of the dark street their kids caught us! They only are the 3 house from the end of the street but hey we ran so fast!! Their kids were very proud of themselves for finally catching us!! Dang it we were so close...it was all in good fun!! :0) We were all laughing about it in the end!!

So these picures don't really make sense with the ghost theme, however our rewards after delivering the goods was In -n-Out Burger! Joey had to get a hat and made us all put them on!! He enjoyed the hat just as much as dropping the goodies and running!

Getting Ready for Halloween!

This is the front of our house. Joey and my friend put up the cob webs, I don't do webs or spiders!!

The little pumpkin lights are a tradition! We had these at our house in AZ!

Joey decorated this pumpkin last year. The ghost a good friend gave to us! We had fun decorating for Halloween, even if it was the week before!!

Our House is ready for Halloween!
