Halloween!

So I actually put some thought or time into my costume this year! I totally stole the idea from the people in G & L's ward and Loreal and I were an iPod and the commerical/billboard thing. it was pretty rockin! it was a lot of fun to make and dance in. we looked awesome! people loved it...although i don't think everyone got it. we got 3rd place in the contest and the SB dance we went to. woo hoo! i didn't take pics cuz everyone else was taking them...so i'm just putting one up for now...but i'll get others and add them later!

Ice Skating

I went ice skating with some friends and it was so much fun! I did my first collage and i repeated a picture but oh well i'll get better!! :)

Reduce, Reuse, RECYCLE!

When dad came home from utah he brought back a truck load of water bottles to recycle down here! I guess the girls (kate and melinda) have been saving thier H2O bottles form the girls (anna and carly)...they are gonna make a profit because utah is not taxed for the bottles! we're all about getting our money back here in california but when i comes from utah...nice! anywho! dad wanted me to come out with the camera so i could get the girls faces as he surprised them! they were very excited and thought it was so cool how many there were! dad even said...now are you gonna put the pictures on that computer thing! haha!! yep!

i just love this picture! such cute girls!

Oktoberfest!

Oktoberfest at the Hanson's with music, games, and rootbeer kegs=FUN!

Stuff that we could use for FHE or other activities!!! Get your brains spinnin' and let the ideas pour out in my comments...please!!!!!!!!!!

Flashback...

The picture on the left is me in 19?? as a bride for Halloween!! I totally remember it! It's so crazy!! And it's Anna on the right, just tonight! Anna loves it and maybe she'll wear it for Halloween this year!

So tonight after dinner Anna and Carly were talking to Grandma about what they were gonna be for Halloween. Grandma decided to pull down the bucket with a few of our old costumes and this what we found!!!

Anna and Carly walked up stairs to come find me so they could show me that they were wearing my old costumes! Carly was in the old clown costume that so many of us wore ( I think) I think I was that in 2nd grade and Melinda did my make up for it! I couldn't find a picture of it though! So we'll see if I can find it eventually!

Carly thought it was really cool that I had a picture of me with a BYU shirt just like she was wearing a BYU shirt! So here's another little side by side!

I had so much fun takin' a trip down memory lane!
