Moved again!

We moved this week to a different house. Its closer to David's work and a better fit for us. More to come later.

Funnies

**The other day I was getting after Ginger in the car. Probably for unbuckling her seat belt. As I was talking, from Ginger's direction, I hear, "Here it goes again!"

**George- We have a lot of questions for mom because we love her.

**Standing next to the heater, Lucy is pooping in her diaper. She says, "I poop fire mommy."

**Another poop story. I went to get Lucy because the children informed me that she needed to be changed. When I get there Carson tells me that "the skunks have given Lucy a standing ovation", referring to her stink.

**Here is a funny picture of Carson and Callie I found. It was while we were living in Baker City, OR. It was a very hot summer that year. Carson was four and Callie was two. George was 8months.

Korea bound!

Last week my parents left the states to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My sister shared a little about them leaving and their stay in the Missionary Training Center. Gina works at the MTC in the language development department.

Small town advantage

Living in a small town your chances of being in the newspaper are greater.
Our paper comes out weekly on Wednesdays.


Here is Ginger, Callie(blindfolded), and George joining in on all the festivities. When we got to David's work the kids were so excited to see a photographer. If you look close in the picture above you can see me sitting next to the piano. Lucy(not pictured) is asleep in the stroller in front of me.

Trip to San Fransisco #2

Here is a trip to San Fransisco that we took in September. I guess I had never published it.

The blond gentleman is the owner of David's company. The gentleman next to him is over David. His wife next to him is also an administrator for a nursing home facility.

Chinese food, yum!

The Oakland, California temple


You can see the bay from the temple. What an amazing view!

What beautiful grounds. This is the view looking down from the temple. On the left, looking from this direction there is the visitors center. On the right is a multi Stake center. How would that be!


Traffic going into San Fransisco.

Spelling Bee!

Last week Carson was picked from his class to be in the 4th,5th, and 6th grade spelling bee. Today was the spelling bee. Carson came out of it as the top speller in the 4th grade. He was not one of the last spellers so he won't be going on to the county spelling bee. Better luck next year. The word that stumped him was "allegiance". David was also a judge for the spelling bee.

Halloween 2007

As a family we didn't make it to the pumpkin patch. George on the other hand did with his class. It happened to be the same day that I was going to Medford(an hour and a half away) and was late picking them up from the bus. So Carson, Callie, and George trekked a mile with a pumpkin. George said he put it in his backpack.

Sunday, we carved the pumpkin.

Tuesday, the 30th
Our ward Trunk or Treat

A tuckered out little witch!

On Tuesday, we had our ward trunk or treat. It consisted of a potluck meal, pumpkin carving contest, decorating cookies, and having the trick or treating inside the building. They thought the weather would be to cold to be outside. I had signed up for a main dish and a door to decorate. The door I didn't know I signed up for till the Sunday before. The YW also had a door to do and it was the Mia Maids month for activities so it feel on me . I brought the stuff and the YW decorated it. It started at 6pm and Callie had piano at 6 so I packed all the kids up from decorating at the church and went off to piano. Lucy was asleep by the time we got there. We got back to the church around 6:40 and they had already eaten and were moving onto the candy portion of the evening. I never saw them decorate cookies so they must have done that while eating. So we handed out all the candy and then went to judge the pumpkins that people had carved at home. The winner was Anna, the girl that won a car on the 4th of July. After that we cleaned up and went home. It was fun but a little crammed.

The Incredible Hulk!

A Happy Witch (nice wart)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Halloween Day!

Sweet Cinderella!
Costume change. The little girls had fun trying on all the old costumes from years past. This morning Ginger stuffed Lucy into her clown costume from last year.

No cavities for this little witch!
It was actually Gingers visit to the dentist but Lucy wanted a ride on the chair. No cavities for Ginger either. Although she does have a wicked cross bite. Thanks Grammy! While we were at the dentist, the schools did a Halloween parade downtown. I thought we would catch a little of it but we missed it completely. Oh well, next year.

The Hulk, Mad Scientist, Aurora, the big witch,
and the little witch at Shasta View Nursing Center, where David works. They had so much food and played pin the broom on the witch and bobbed for apples. The kids really liked bobbing for apples.

Some prince must have kissed the big witch
because she turned into a princess.
Time to go trick or treating. There were so many teenagers out it kind of took the fun out of seeing all the little ones dressed up.

Did this mad scientist create this hulk? Sometimes he does bring out the beast in George.

These are our local police officers and firefighters dressed up as Star Wars characters. They stood on the corner by the fire station and police station and passed out candy. There were other officers patrolling the neighborhoods.
