Halloween 1998: Aaron as Lloyd Christmas
from Dumb and Dumber



Halloween 2004: The Flinstones, Myka was perfect
as 'Pebbles'! (Haily in tummy.)

Halloween 2005-Mamma Butterfly Fairy and Haily Jane Fairy.



Myka was Dorothy, or 'Toto' as she used to say.



Aaron was Dr. Tobias Funke, the world's first
analyst/therapist, of Arrested Development.
(Anyone out there not a fan? Just give the
'Pier Pressure' episode a try and see why we
love it so).



Halloween 2006: Aaron as Cousin Tony from
South Jersey.

Myka was so excited to be Alice in Wonderland! Haily and

her cheeks were the White Rabbit.

This Halloween Myka has found a 'Magical Barbie Pegasus'

costume and I am putting together an 'Annie' costume for

Haily. It's gonna be great 'fro-ing' her hair out with curls

from the mini sponge rollers!

maris farms: buckley, wa

Pumpkin Patch Time! And we found a really cool
one not far from Tacoma- Maris Farms- it was fully

loaded with hay rides, pony rides, mini-tracktor

racing, petting zoo, haunted forest, bounce house,

corn maze, corn cob cannons and of course, pumpkin pickin'!

FHE tonight was fun. We talked about missionaries

and then made little ghosts to hang in our front tree.

(There is a shot of Aaron's littlest brother,

Jeff, who is staying with us for a while. He is

very quiet and very shy, but I think he is

warming up to us...)

Hot chocolate and spooky stories in front

of the fireplace was a perfect way to end the

evening. (I love those calves on my hub,

although I am not sure about the socks...)

rainy saturday

Cold, wet, rainy day! So we did lots of different

indoor activities... first was a huge bubble bath,

then a short movie and hair-dos. This is the first

time Haily's hair has been long enough to put in

rollers!

Next we made Uncle Jeff's famous 'Corpsegrinder'

cookies. Warm and delicious!

Myka spent a fair amount of time on her Speak & Spell.

And she loves her computer learning games! Her favorites

are The Learning Company's 'Tortoise and the Hare' and

Disney's Magic Artist.

Aaron had to spend most of the day preparing the basement

for Sears to come update our ancient furnace system. Here

he is being so sweet and lettting Haily 'help' him pay bills online.

Oh, me and my general-purpose camera... aside from

the flash glare bouncing off of our maroon wall, this

picture makes me happy on this gloomy, grey day.

y dance classes

This is my beginning jazz class for 11 years thru adult. These

girls are loaded with energy! They are doing a dance to 'Billy Jean'.

And when I turn on the song for stretching each of them sings at the

top of their lungs to, 'Hey there Delilah' by the Plain White Ts.
