It's Been A While

Gosh, I haven't blogged for a while and I feel I have so much to say . The family and I just got back from spending a week down in California with my family. It felt so good just getting away and relaxing with nothing to do. The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins and seeing family that they don't see that often. Craig spent most of the week with my dad, golfing and going to different job sites and just doing guy things-whatever that is. But needless to say it was a worth while trip.

Now let me back track a little, this year for Halloween we weren't quite sure what we were going to do. The stake suggested that all the wards cancel their trunk or treats, to help support the community trunk or treat. So they did, but then someone told us that the community canceled too, but thank goodness that was wrong. The community did have their trunk or treat, it was a little smaller then usually, but it was fun. During the evening of Halloween at the community trunk or treat someone told us that some of the wards at the stake center were having a (hush, hush) trunk or treat. For being hush, hush there sure were a lot of people there. Overall the kids had a blast. This year the kids picked out their own costumes.

Kayla was non other than Princess Jasmine
Austin was Thomas the Train

Little Ashley was the cutest ladybug

Its funny because a couple of weeks ago we were trying to take a family picture, I don't know if all of you guys have the same problem but we had to take a hundred pictures and we still didn't get a good one, that's so irritating, but thank goodness for digital cameras.
