TRICK OR TREAT

HALLOWEEN!!

This was one of the most fun Halloween's I can remember. And trick or treating was really fun.

The whole neighborhood was trick or treating at the same time. We were all walking around and getting acquainted. People were sitting outside of their homes to hand out the candy. Most of them were dressed up too. One house had their garage door up a couple of feet, when you walked by someone pushed out a huge blow up black spider. Scared me!! If was fun! A lot of people had their dogs with them, I had taken Bailey. One house had dog treats so even Bailey had some treats for Halloween. On one street the firemen were there. They had the lights on the one truck and were giving out bags of candy to the kids. I couldn't believe how many people were out walking around. The weather was really nice and warm so that made the walking more enjoyable. People were just having fun, I'm impressed Ohio!

The top picture is our house with our blow up skull. When we got back to our house we even had one trick or treater.

Fall Festival Heritage School 2008

Today 10/31/08, has been a super fun day for Jaxon. It was his fall festival at school and they had activities all day long. They played bingo, made a necklace, got tattoo's, played hot pumpkin, cornhole (bean bag toss), ate ice cream and popcorn and had a hay ride. On the hay wagon below is Jaxon's class. He is sitting in the back on the right, second one in. Skyler, his friend is next to him on the right. I helped at the school with the activities and it was fun. I stayed and ate lunch with Jaxon. We had hamburgers with ghost shaped cheese. It actually wasn't to bad. The kids were a lot of fun and they all seem to really like Jaxon. One of the pictures is just taken on the playground at recess. A group of boys were playing with a kick ball taking turns kicking it to each other.


FUN AT SCHOOL!

Kortny's Halloween Progam

Ashley and I went to Kortny's school today to see her Halloween program. Here is some pictures and some videos.

Videos will come later...

Pumpkin Carving

Last night Kurt and Jaxon carved their pumpkins. They turned out pretty cute I think. I'm not a big fan of pumpkin carving....to messy. Jaxon did really good and did the whole thing by himself. He had been very anxious all week to carve them.

32 Weeks hopefully less than 8 Weeks left.

This is just Tyler and I at an aggie game! I wish I had something to report, but I don't! So love you bye!

Cornbelly Days

On October 25 Ashley and I went to Cornbellys, which is a Halloween festival at Thanksgiving Point. We went through a corn maze, got our faces painted, went through a haunted house, went on a cow ride, and had some really good food.

Jaxon's Football Video

Jaxon's Football 2008

10/25/08 ended the 2008 football season for Jaxon. His team did really well. They lost one game, won 8 and the final game ended in a tie. Jaxon did really well, he pulled a few flags off to save his team from being scored against. When he got to carry the ball he always made a few yards. There was one boy who almost always got to carry the ball. I'm not sure why because he didn't do as good as some of the other boys who had the occasional turn. Must be '' Who you know". The most important thing for me was that Jaxon got to learn a little about how to play and that he had fun. He did do those two things. There wasn't one time that I had to make him go, he was always ready and willing. Now what am I going to do with my time on Saturday mornings? hmm....maybe clean house! Or not!

Fall Festival at the Church

Church Fun!!

Last night I had a surprisingly good time at our Branch Fall Social. I hate to admit it but I wasn't very excited about going. But, being the activities chairman I thought I better make an appearance. No one asked me to help or have any input in the activity....hmm, oh well. I guess the branch has been doing these activities for so long that they don't really need any planning.

When I got there, the tables were set up and decorated. There were decorations on the walls. A table was set up for the food etc. hmmm, I said to myself. I don't even know who did it or anything. But, anyway, it was a potluck dinner. There was tons of food and there was a pie baking contest. I didn't bring a pie but I was able to have a piece, (or two). I took sloppy joe's and chips. Everyone else brought casseroles. So many people turned out, even people that I have not seen at church, go figure. The young men, young women had games and prizes in the classrooms, and a closet, our church house is very small. The primary kids were able to wear their costumes. Jaxon came home with a lunch sack full of little prizes and candy.

All in all, it was a good time. My pictures are of my friends here in Marion. Emily and Ben Titensor, they are so funny. Ben is a crack up as you can tell from the picture. The missionary is Elder Scruggs, he's awesome. He is from Utah, between SLC and Provo.

Now I know how they do the activities here. Gives me a better idea of how to plan them. The next big one will be the Christmas Party. I better start planning for all the decorating. Also, the branch pres. wants me to plan a social for the young, inactive couples with small children. What do I do??!! Any ideas would be appreciated.

Our Upcoming Litter of Puppies

We are going to have a new litter of puppies in December. They are called Silkchons. The dad is the Silkie Terrier and, of course, Zoey is a Bichon. It will be fun to see what we get. They could be ugly mutts that we can't give away or, beautiful designer breed pups that we can sell for a few hundred dollars. ummm.....I am hoping for the later.

My next posting will be to show you Zoey's big belly.(when she gets one)

Jaxon Lost a Tooth

Jaxon had a tooth pulled at the dentist. His baby teeth do not like to go. His adult tooth was already in behind his baby tooth. We're doing the same thing with his other top front tooth. I'm hoping the other baby tooth will leave on it's own. The dentist charged me $113 to pull a loose baby tooth!!! (sorry about the booger and the dirty face....that's just Jaxon!)

Jake, I think your baby teeth didn't want to go either. If I remember right your adult front teeth grew in behind your baby teeth. Isn't that why you had to wear a retainer when you were young? I think we had to push your adult teeth out a little bit.

Jaxon's School Picture Fall of 2008

Hmmm, I'm not really sure how this all works but hopefully i'll figure it out fast. :)

Jaxon's Football Pictures

Flag Football!! Go Team!!

These are Jaxon's football pictures. He kind of has a silly "do I really have to smile for this picture" grin on his face. AND the sun must be shinning in his eyes. They turned out kind of cute though. The team had a very successful season. They have won all their games but one. They play one more game tomorrow. Jaxon has made some great plays. He has carried the ball a few times (not near enough as far as I'm concerned). He gained yards each time he had the ball. He has pulled off some flags and saved the team from getting scored on. He for sure is the fasted runner on the team.

My Friday Night Date

A couple of weeks ago I took Jaxon and a friend to McDonald's for dinner and then swimming at the "Y". They had a fun time together. His friend is Ethan and lives close by our house. They go to school together but are not in the same class at school.

They were trying to do tricks into the pool.

Isn't Jaxon funny??!!

I just took some crocheting and watched. I wasn't part of all the tricks into the pool.
