Halloween

Halloween was alot of fun in the neighborhood. We had the neighbors over on our front driveway for a pot luck. We had pizza, pasta, salads and pumkin desserts. It was so fun to get together before trick or treating. There are a good group of boys for Noah to play with and ven a few girls for Faye. We live in a great place and love our neighbors.
This is Lana, she is the official hugger in the nieghborhood. We love her, she is always so positive and happy


Noah and the boys eating pizza, Noah is like a rock star to them.





Can you believe everyone of my girls wore this BYU Cheerleading outfit, from Brooke to Faye.
It was a great investment and is still in good shape. I'm sure Reese will wear it in a couple of years.

I made skunk costumes for Chelsea and a couple of her friends. Noah saw me making them and wanted to join in on the fun. He does not like to be anything scary and in fact still doesn't like to walk into a Halloween store.

Tess was a ballerina/butterfly.

She went out with a great group of girls. We are proud of her and all the good choices she is making.

Teenager!

Can you believe it Noah is a TEENAGER!
13 years old and what a great boy. I don't know if there is a boy with a kinder heart than Noah. He is really maturing and in school he is growing by leaps and bounds.
There once was a time when he was 3 years old and he hadn't talked yet, oh my goodness, not so today. Noah is the master story teller and the wise giver of Noahisms. Just the other day a boy at school wasn't being very nice and Noah said,
"If he keeps that up, he is going to have a BAD Future."
We love our boy!

Where have all the flowers gone?

I came out of the house last Saturday to find all my flowers gone. Not a single rose petal or geranium left in the front yard.
I asked, "Faye, What did you do?"
Faye replied, "I made a flower path just for you Mom, you're not mad at me are you?"
I paused then said, "Of course not"
How could I be, she made it just for me!

A Weekend Celebrating the Girls.

We had a weekend celebrating the older girls in the family. First Glen and I flew to Utah to watch Chelsea play volleyball against the Utes. Wow, what a game, lost in 5, but it was a heart stopper. So fun to see her play.

Next we flew home on Saturday morning just in time to catch Tess play soccer. She had been sick with a fever the day before, but really wanted to play. She played keeper great and then score a goal in the second half. It was fun to watch her.

Third, it was Brooke's birthday on Sunday. We had Thai Dara, which I ordered on Saturday. And we got her an electronic piano for her home. She is awesome, "I have never wondered about you."

Love all my girls, it is wonderful to watch them grow into outstanding women.

You are no longer a woman, you're a Mom!

Yes, it's the mom jeans of the 80's. Found these great Gitano Jeans at DI in Draper for Julie Vance's 40th birthday. And the blouse and bow were definitely my style. I don't know how we wore those pants or why. And Glen actually proposed and married me in the 80's. He must have been attracted to more than just my fashion sense.

Lowers

Glen and I spent the morning yesterday with Diane and Curtis Reese relaxing on the beach. It was a beautiful day.

The Hurley pro surfing contest was taking place at lowers and we trecked on down took a sit and watched for about
2 1/2 hours. Talk about a relaxing time, with great friends. I had a house hold of things to do, but sometimes you just need to go anyway.

By the way Kelly Slater was awesome, he did a great 360.

I wish I could go watch again today, but the things of life are getting in the way.

Noah got a haircut.

For the past 20 months, Noah has been growing his hair out in dreads. He and Glen drive to LA every 6 weeks and get his hair twisted.
Probably everyday someone commented to Noah about his cool hair. But sometimes, cool isn't where it's at. On the day of the last scheduled trip to LA, Noah didn't want to go. Seems it hurts a whole lot to get each piece twisted, it was comfort Noah wanted, and so he got it.
His comment when it was all gone, "
"My head feels so light" I think he looks super handsome.
