Halloween Party 2008

Our 2nd Annual Halloween party seemed to be a big hit. Most everyone showed in costume - as it should be - and I think everyone had a good time. Hopefully, we'll have warmer weather next year.

No wire hangers................EVER!!!!!

Christine with Ashley and Samantha

Fat Bastard, Gypsy Rose and Joan Crawford

Donuts on a string is a challenge for the little ones but seemed to be a big hit with everyone.

The older kids seemed to get the hang of it pretty quick.

We could have either raked and bagged all the leaves or piled them up for the kids to jump in....

This is a terrible picture but it's a candy hunt - that'll keep 'em busy!

Michael Myers even showed up!

Josh wanted "The Scream" for his birthday cake. I didn't know how I was going to pull that one off but I'm pretty impressed with myself. It's almost hard to type whilst patting myself on the back so much!

Hell, MI

We woke up to a nice, sunny fall day - what better time to go to Hell?

Definitely Jeff's idea of Hell!

Port Huron KOA Camping Trip

Our annual trip to the Port Huron KOA for Halloween camping. Last year, it was too hot. This year, it was too cold. Maybe next year, it'll be just right.

Getting ready for trick or treating.

SEATTLE, JUNE 2008

My first night there, we had a pre-graduation dinner at Serafina. This was quite possibly one of the best meals I've ever had and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough to anyone who is even NEAR Seattle.

Sweet Asha.....how is it possible that you're not the chubby baby girl that you were when you left Michigan? You're grown and tall and thin and beautiful!

Aiden, I think you might have the best hair in the entire family. Not just because I'm completely jealous that you got all the red but the thickness.....I could go on. Regardless, you're so beautiful it makes me die a little inside. In a good way.

Alex's cutie boyfriend, Noelan (or, to some, Noland - THANK YOU)
