The Spooky Crew ready for Trick or Treatin'


This year for Halloween, Whitney and some of her 5th grade friends went Trick or Treating all by themselves. They are getting too old for moms to tag a long. :( They had a blast! Candida and I took the four younger ones around to collect their loot. I usually get pictures of the HUGE amount of candy they get but of course I forgot. I also forgot to take pictures of McKenna and her class at school during their halloween party. Oh well, can't capture everything. After everyone was done walking from house to house, we went back to The Jones' and had mummy dogs, apples and caramel, vegies, and icecream treats. Thanks Candida for the cool food! The girls were exhausted by the end of the night. That's the night that Whitney started to get sick. She was out of school the entire next week. SWINE FLU!! Poor Whitney! She was so sick.
Whitney and I are the only ones that have had it bad. McKenna was sick for two days. So I am waiting for Ruben and Abby to get it now. I'm crossing my fingers that they don't. But with our luck and all the germs going around, you never know. I hope that we are all well through the holidays!

Carving Pumpkins!

Bike Safety!

The girls got to participate in a Bike Safety class given by the Lovell Police Department. It was held the morning of Halloween. They were really excited to attend although it was a very cold and windy day, they still enjoyed it. They also received a free bike helmet! They are not wearing them in these pics though. There were several volunteers there and different coarses that were taught to the kids about riding their bikes safely. They served cookies and hot chocolate. The LPD gave away 4 bikes. Two for the Elementary and two for the Middle School. All of the kids that participated in the bike safety that day got put into the drawing. The girls enjoyed it very much! Thanks to all of the people who helped put this together. More activities like this should happen more often.

Coming soon...

...I will actually be blogging about something! I know it's been 3 months and people are wondering why I haven't blogged in so long. Basically, "LIFE" has been it. It has been busy ever since school started. I will start back logging everything since August! I got a new laptop for my birthday and it is fast! My other computer just wasn't cutting it. It is very ssslllooowwwww. That is another reason why I gave it up for awhile. It would take forever for a picture to download and then half of the time it didn't work. So my awesome husband bought me a new one and I love it! So stay tuned cause I'm back in business!
