Happy Halloween 2009

Davis and Grant as Robin (from Teen Titans) and Snake Eyes from Wolverine!

My girls are so adorable! I guess they are a bunny and Pebbles.

Snake Eyes and Robin--don't they look fierce?

Our own sweet Alice in Wonderland!

Happy Halloween!

Carving Pumpkins

Scary! Taylor with a knife!
Davis and his Vampire pumpkin.

Lauren imitating her pumpkin. It took her 2 minutes to carve it. She was really fast!

We loved this pumpkin because its teeth look kind of like Grants. :) Too cute.

This pumpkin is a cat head--if you look closely you can see it.

We had a lot of fun!

Joe's Crab Shack

While we were in California we ate at a place called Joe's Crab Shack.

It was a lot of fun.

The waiters and Waitresses dance in the aisles when certain music comes over the speakers.

Taylor, Lauren and Tyrel decided to order crabs to crack--hence the bibs.

The rest of us opted for food that didn't require work!!:)

It is a happening place! Fun times!

Taylor and Allie
Grant and Lauren



Sweet Taylor

My man, my littler man and me!:)

Disneyland

We had a gret time in Disneyland during Fall Break. As you can see, I immediately went for the Mickey Mouse pretzel. I only had two while I was there--I had great restraint!!

Here are my princesses in front of the Castle.

We were so busy riding rides that we took very few family pics. We finally got one on the last day! It was so crowded--we think all of AZ must have been there. We still had fun, though!

Davis and Grant loved the Jedi Training. Grant's favorite ride was "Star Tours".

It was the first ride we went on and he kept wanting to go on it again and again!!

Here are the kids by the "A" of "California" in front of California Adventure.

Fun was had by all!!

Homecoming 2009

Garrett Shelley asked Taylor to Homecoming this year.

Doesn't she look beautiful??

Her favorite part was putting on the corsage--it took her ten minutes.

She is such a perfectionist!

Poor Garrett--he was very patient.

They had a wonderful time.

Taylor was even able to wear heels. (She is not wearing them in this picture.)

We really loved the comment Allie made after they exited.

"He's smokin'"

This has us a little worried.

Allie can't wait to be 16.

Oh Dear!

Twilight Fan!!

Okay--I am a huge Twilight fan. Love Stephanie Meyer and love her books. After the previews of "New Moon" I can't wait for the movie. I know the books are always better but I sure enjoy the movies. In honor of my Twilight mania I have posted the countdown to "New Moon". Can you say "Midnight Movie?" My husband thinks I'm nuts but he loves me anyway.:) He is one smart cookie--and definitely my "Edward"!!

First Day of School 2009

The first day of school is always a little bittersweet for me. I know I will miss the freedoms of summer--less strict schedules, sleeping in...etc. I do like getting back into a routine and schedule so that is nice. This year is interesting because my oldest will be going to school for her final year while my youngest, Grant, will be going to the school for the first time. How did we do that?? It certainly wasn't planned. Anyway, here a few pics. of our sweethearts getting ready to go! They are precious!!:) Lauren, Allie, Taylor, Grant, and Davis.
Our sweet senior!!

Davis is going to third grade.

Lauren is going to 9th grade--her last year at Poston!

Cute Allie--she will be in 5th grade.

Grant is going to Kindergarten. What a cutie!
