Week-end in Napa

Just a few pics from our Thanksgiving getaway for Carrie's b-day. We went cycling through Napa to check out the scenery. No, sorry, no wine-tasting for us. We also caught the Twilight sequel, New Moon. I got a kick out of all the teeny bopper girls going ooh every time one of the boys took his shirt off or somebody was about to kiss. I think there was a little too much estrogen in that theatre!

Happy Halloween!!

Nicholas was a hit at our ward "Trunk or Treat". He and Scarecrow made the rounds while I handed out the candy. Thanks mom for the lion costume!

I don't think Dorothy ever heard "Thriller", but I couldn't resist dancing along to the music : )

Life is grand in Oz...well Cheerio wasn't too happy being sprayed with black dye, but I think we found life is good along the yellow brick road. Happy Halloween!!! Until next year!!

Mmm, yummy!

Every Halloween, I make a theme dinner. This year I was tired so Mike came through with the grub (of course, I wasn't too tired to make the dessert : )








Mmm...look at those eyeballs and intestines. 4-star restaurant quality right?





Ahh, my boys. Nicholas loved the "eyeballs" and Mike loved the "ghosts in the graveyard" dessert I made. It's not hard to please these guys.

Fresh "Pics"

One of Nicholas' nicknames is Mr. Pics and here he is with some fresh "picks" from our garden. Mike made a yummy stir fry with the peppers and we ate apples from our tree. Are we becoming the Beverly Hillbillies or what?
