HALLOWEEN 2009!

It all started with a pretty normal evening, rushing to get out the door to our "trunk-or-treat" at our church, and making sure the kids were all ready to go. Of course they were ALL jumping beans and couldn't control their emotions! The Trunk or Treat went really well, except when I tried to jump off my one good leg - since I had sprained my ankle a couple weeks ago on the left, I thought I had better put the right leg more into it then the left, and as I jumped, I somehow twisted my knee and it popped and made a grinding feel to it. OUCH! lovely!!!!! Aaron, you are taking the kids for the rest of the night! SORRY DUDE!


After the Trunk or Treat , we went to our annual G'Ma Funks Chili night and trick or treating around the old stomping grounds in Holladay! Okay, They went - I got to prop my knee up! :D


So here are a few pics of the night. I have found this awesome web site http://www.picnik.com/ that you get to do funny things to your pics... so I "halloweened" up Tyler, Kenzie and Brandon! ENJOY these. They are funny!!!


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


I didn't get a good picture of Isaac tonight, so I posted the one of the halloween party for Primary! :D


Yes, this is just ONE childs sack of candy! YIKES

My Niece Katelyn! :D

Sister Stephanie! :D So cute no matter what!

and of course my other sister Mel and her son Hayden.... Sickening how photogenic she is! Love ya mel! :)

Nephew Tyler!!! :D

Kenzie

Brandon - Seriously just turned 15 and is probably going to get his pilot's license before his drivers license. How many 15 year olds do you know who are so driven to do thier life passion already!? I love him to death!!!

Pumpkin Carving at G'Ma Funk's

The annual Pumpkin Carving at G'Ma Funk's house was great! Here is Kenzie posing with her 35lb pumpkin. We stopped off at Willard, on our way to Brigham City to visit G'Ma and G'Pa Millet, and these pumpkins were HUGE! And only 15cents a pound. Great deal! (thanks to Shandra - she let us in on her little secret!)

Of course Olivia didn't want ANYTHING to do with cutting into her precious pumpkin. She got this cute little pumpkin from Melanie and Brent's Garden. This is actually the pumpkin that Zeus got a hold of the other night and chewed it to bits as well. RIP - Olivia's sweet pumpkin! :D

Isaac, didn't at first want anything to do with carving once he saw paints> but after he was done with that, he just HAD to try cutting with Mom. He did really good, with me holding him on my lap and guiding the saw. I think he is hooked!!!!

Whew!

I know you have all been waiting on bended knee for me to blog! ( yeah Right!)
We had a bit of a financial problem and had to have no internet access at home, and I tried to do this at work, but it won't let me.
I still don't have the internet up at my house YET!!! BUT..... SOON!
I just wanted to say HI, and soon I will have some pics to post! Hope you all are doing great!

Good times with the Cousins!

We always have fun with our cousins! Unfortunately the Kevin/Sarah Funk Cousins live so far away. So when we do get to visit with each other, we LOVE spending as much time as we can together! We went down to the Children's Museum at the Gateway! It was a blast! As you can see Jonah, was wiped out watching all his cousins play! :D

Then....

We all got together at Darren and Roshonnah's house for June Birthdays- Jonathon, Brent, and Mckenzie. The Funk yard is a mecca of FUN! Trampoline, Volleyball, Swing Set! + inside is the Wii - !! Not to mention the cullinary dutch oven skills of my brother! WOW! We ate really well- and then let the children run wild! We had so much fun!

This is Hayden, and his "Stayin' Alive" move! It is sooooo hillarious. You just say "hayden-.... Stayin' Alive!" and his little arm goes up with his pointer finger up in the air! ADORABLE!!!

Here is the most of the family ( Brent, Mel, and Hayden - were in Cali - for a wedding - and we missed them! :D) on the 24th of July for a BBQ - and the infamous WaterBalloon Volley!

Happy Birthday!

Since this year was the twins 5th birthday - we decided since Mckenzie had a big party on her 5th birthday, we would do a big party for the twins. Of course since Kenzie's birthday was just a couple week before, she got to invite a couple friends of hers too. Our awesome friend and neighbor, Josie , has for "rent" a big Bouncy Castle, AND a cotton candy maker - and not only did she give a ridiculous discount, she came and made cotton candy in the HOT HOT sun for all the kiddies! It was a blast! The bouncy house was sooooo hot - we kept hosing it down with water, which soon became the wet and wild bouncy house! Then of course we did face painting, and a GINORMOUS pinata - that one of my good friends had made for the twins! That thing was bigger than Isaac and Olivia!

After the friend party, we had the Millet family over for a BBQ! That was so fun! We don't get to see them as often as my family :( So it was so great to have them over! Then the Funk family came over for presents and cake/ice cream! Thanks to all who could come and all the gifts they adorned my kids with! We had so much fun!!!

Park City! A little city in it's own world!

This year we went really far for a vacation, up to PC! It was really enjoyable. I know most people would think, "hey, how can that be a vacation, when you are only 30 min away from your house?" But I tell you what! It is it's own little planet up there! We had such a nice relaxing, beautiful week , even though it rained every day, (but not ALL day)!
We drove to Fish Lake one day, Aaron, Brent, Darren and myself went golfing one day at Soldier Hollow, we swam EVERY day at the indoor pool!, we did the Alpine slide and Alpine Coaster which I Highly reccomend to anyone who hasn't done it. The slide not so much fun after you do the coaster! We walked up to main street a couple times! (actually my family tried to kill me by walking up there :D) And the best of all, Kevin and Sarah and family came from CT, the last few days and are staying for a visit for a few week! AWESOME!!

These can't be MY twins !

So, really is it all possible that I am getting old? You're right! It isn't possible, but then how do I explain that my twins, who are so young, sweet and innocent (yeah right!)children of mine , how can they be old enough to graduate PRESCHOOL and are going to start Full day kindergarten on July 27th, 2009? Aye yi yi!!

They had an adorable little ceremony with graduation caps and a little light refreshment afterwards.

I wanted to do something nice for their teacher Miss Sharon, so I purchased a Visa Gift Card from Walmart, thinking that she could spend the money wherever she wanted. I should have just gone with CASH, because after I spent money and put it on the card, I get a call from her a few weeks later, just as an FYI that she couldn't use the card because it needed to be activated! ??? what? really? the store didn't take care of that while I was there? and apparenetly they needed the receipt to activate it? That receipt was LONG GONE!! HOW absurd is that? I am just out the money now, that was intended for gratitude purposes! NICE!

Enjoy the pics!
