Spooktacular Weekend

We had a fun weekend with our family. Ben and Laura, Jeff and Sarah, and Bryan and Celeste all made it home for our "Spooktacular Weekend."   Here are some highlights of the weekend.

Girls just wanna have fun!  

Every year, we like to have a family Halloween Party. We had it a bit early this year to accommodate everyone.  You must wear a costume to come to the party!  I think we have some pretty good costumes this year. 

Nurse Mary and Dr. David

Ready to Operate?

Let me check your heart Nurse!   

Newlywed Lumberjacks!  ( You can't see their boots, but they both had on real lumberjack boots!)

Construction Worker, a Caution Cone, and a Road with a Bump! Very cute idea.

Skeleton Family!  (Caleb did put on his costume later that evening!)

Skeleton Kaelynn with her painted face.... good face painting.

I am so glad that we can get together and have such fun times. Everyone have a Spooky Halloween and eat lots of Treats!

Football Game

This year we bought tickets to the Cougar Football Games.  Our first game was last Friday and we had a tailgate party.  I am glad we had a tailgate party because the game turned out to be a real old fashioned butt-kicking, and we were on the losing side.  I am hoping for better games for the rest of the season.
Don't spread the word too far, but sometimes when I go to football games, I spend more time looking at the crowd and cheerleaders than I do watching the game!  For example, there was a guy sitting a few rows back that had on a helmet with an statue of Angel Moroni glued to the top of the helmet!  It was so nerdy, but funny. Another lady was wearing a cape!  Who wears a cape to a football game? .... anyway, I digress, back to the fun tailgate party.  This is when we were happy and thought our team would win!

Kerry is getting the grilled fired up for hamburgers. 

Mom and I took a little stroll around ... notice my boots!  Thanks Laura, I might keep them!

Zach stopped by to chat.  He is so cute, I love getting caught up on what he is doing with his life.  He is a full -time student and loves the COUGARS.

Here's Dad, he is ready for the big game.  He loves going to games and being with  the family.  He always says that this is his thing!

Dad and my Twin brothers!

Let's Go Cougars!!
 ( this pictures is kinda of embarrassing, but I posted it for my brother Jeff)

Anyway, I really am excited for the season ahead. 

GO COUGARS!!
