We had our "friend" Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year. We get together on a day when the majority of the husbands will be home(we missed ya Steve) and try to eat some turkey!!! It was lots of fun and I had to take pictures to prove that my turkey and rolls turned out!!!! I was very nervous we would be ordering some pizza, but it all went very well and everyone's food was delicious!! I miss all our "get togethers" in Texas, but I do appreciate all those who had to travel to celebrate with us and wish we could do it more often!!! Thanks Jenny for making such a fun dvd of all our memories!!!!!

So we went to the "magoon" the last day of the season. We thought we would hit up the Frightmares at least once. We found out Jarron had grown a little since the last time we went this summer and he could go on "The Bat"! He was brave and tried it:) He said he liked it, so maybe next summer we can hit a few more of the bigger rides if he keeps growing!!!! It was fun just to spend the day together and just do what we wanted!!

Yummy, yummy!!!

So nothing goes better with Halloween than sugar cookies and doughnuts!!! Cobey was so funny when he was eating his doughnut, he didn't use his hands once!!!!! He also wouldn't let anyone help him cut out the cookies!! He is so independent?!?!

Transformers, more than meets the eye....

So, Jarron was so excited to be "bumble bee" from Transformers.....he LOVES transformers!!!! He practiced his bumble bee "pose" and I think he perfected it!!! He got to have lots of parties for school and had way too much fun!!! He is already planning what he wants to be for next year!! He is such a funny kid!

Arrgh Matey!!!!!!

Cobey was so fun this Halloween, he couldn't make up his mind between being a Ghost, a firefighter or a pirate! Mom made the choice easier, we already had the pirate costume so that is what won!!! He had fun trick or treating and got TONS of candy!!! The best was him trying to eat the doughnut he got at our ward "trunk or treat", I will have to post that picture! It was too funny!!

So funny story..... this morning I was on the ball, I had the kids in the van ready to take Jarron to school, all of our recycling goods loaded up to go help "save the planet", dry cleaning ready to go get dropped off, a few returns to get done and what do ya know....... my van won't start!!!!!! SERIOUSLY?! So the funny thing about this story is that you would think that my first concerns would be getting Jarron to school or getting all my erands ran, oh no.... my frist panic thought was " Oh crap! I can't go get my diet coke this morning and I don't have any in the house?!?!? " Yes I have a problem, I am addicted!!!! I seriously went into panic mode! Luckily I have a very handy neighbor, Amy:) She saved my life today and as you can see in the pic. she knew how to do a man's work, she jump started my van!! YEA:) She was a lifesaver today and lots of other days!!! Thanks Amy, I owe you!! So I ended up getting to "Check-her-auto parts" and a nice young gentleman was able to get me a new battery and even put it in for me:) I think he knew I needed some help! Diet Coke anyone? I am learning very quickly to laugh at my life!!!!

All I have to say is if you are ever near a Pink Berry, you HAVE to try one.... they are too yummy :) I am glad I had Kristi there along with me, she understood the need to try one!! It was so fun going to the grove and farmers market in L.A. It is such a change in scenery every corner you turned in L.A.!! We got into some crazy parts.... maybe next time we can get the maps that show the stars homes and stay in the nicer parts!! I think I am done seeing strange drunk men on the corner peeing on themselves!! Yes that really did happen, I think we were trying to find our way out of "Korea town"? Not a good palce to be:)
