Halloween Fun

This month has been fast and fun. There are so many great things to do in the month of October. In these parts there is a fun little thing called The Pumpkin Walk. Its pretty much some really awesome scenes that are made out of pumpkins and other fall squash. They also have boards painted with fun characters. Jayne, max and I went with some of our friends

Here is the Count Jayne

Here’s some of the other kids that came with us

Here I am with some of my other princess friends (Cat, Emily, me and Shannon)

I really love the Tinkerbelle Movies, I mean REALLY love. I can’t help it, they just draw me in. I watched previews and wasn’t really impressed.. but man, now I almost can’t get enough of them. Its kinda a problem, I’ll be walking though the room and just stop whatever I’m doing to watch Tinkerbelle and her fairy friends. So I had to get a picture of the fairies in the pumpkin walk

A couple days after the Pumpkin walk, the whole family went to a corn maze with some of our other friends. Here’s Jayne with Kendall. They have this love/hate relationship. They’ve known each other since birth and I’ve babysat Kendall a lot. Some days they are friends, and some days they’re not. Kinda like brother and sister.

Here are the Cahoons, pretty much out best friends here

It was such a pretty skyline, I wanted a picture without kiddos (I am wearing Max though, which is why I am at an awkward angle)

The whole Carpenter Family

The next night after the corn maze, we got together with the Cahoons’ again and carved pumpkins. This is our 4th year carving pumpkins with them

Eldon puts his heart and soul into his pumpkin carving

All of out pumpkins

All lit up!

The next night, we got into costume to go to a Halloween party….

“Superman, save my baby!”

A Hamburger, Superman, Sabrina (from Hell’s kitchen) and a baby shark

The Real Sabrina

That’s a [candy] wrap[per]

Feeding the Ducks

"WOW!! Look at the water!"

Living in Idaho Falls can be pretty awesome. Down by the river, known as the "Green Belt" there are tons of ducks and geese. They're a little aggressive when it comes to feeding them. They totally demand bread, and if you don't have any they hiss and squawk at you. Jayne and I went to feed these wild animals with Darick's parents today. It was fun, but I was a little nervous Jayne was going to be carried away. I mean look at the size of these fellas, and if that isn't enough, they would win out on numbers, it's like 100 to one.


The army of birds.

Jayne LOVES it when grandma and grandpa come to visit, she sits on their laps, hugs them, follows them around, asks them funny questions and totally forgets she has parents. She adores grandma and grandpa!

Here's a nice view of the temple from across the River... I love it when the weather warms up, and I can come out of my winter hibernation :)

Give said the little stream

I really do live in such a pretty place, I miss Washington, and all the trees and water, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I love the Falls in Idaho Falls

Garden of the Gods

Jayne and I are in Colorado visiting one of my sisters, we went for a hike in Garden of the Gods, it's such an awesome place! here's a couple of sweet pics

I'm from Washington... yes the State

Here is a funny joke i got off of a facebook group site... it made me laugh


God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God. "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction, and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor. Over there I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. Balance in all things,"
God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God "That's Washington State, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, plains, and coulees. The people from Washington State are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats, and carriers of peace."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance."
God smiled and said, "There is another Washington...wait until you see the idiots I put there."
