Traditional Halloween Party!

Grandma and Grandpa Jake had their

Halloween Party

last night and the kids had a blast.

• Cake Walk
• Fireworks
• Treasure Hunt
• Toilet Paper Mummy
• Great Food

Bo enjoyed scaring the *&#$ out of all the little kids. Poor Hanks would cry until Bo would take his mask off and then he would just smile at him. We love him! It was a little crazy & loud with all the kids but worth every minute of it.

We had Zombie Blood to drink, Baby Mummies, Witches Brain Burgers, Spiders, Mud Cups with Worms, Deviled Eggs, Witches Heads!

Bobbing for Apples is always the favorite!

Poor Grandpa Harley was a good sport!

While they were wrapping him, he said, "I have to pee"

and all the kids kind of freaked out - and mom said,

"go for it, the toilet paper will soak it up."

The Haunted Train!

Our night aboard the Heber Creeper was quite the adventure.
I thought Savannah was going to jump out the window and
Bo loved making it worse for her.
We rode their Haunted Train up Provo Canyon as they told some pretty
SpOOky
stories.
Then, on the way back,
there were some pretty creepy ghouls that came aboard.
I won't spoil it for you, but I would suggest you take your family.
(It was much better than the Polar Express, which I thought was a waste of money.)
When we got off the train Savannah said,
"That was not one - fun - bit!"
She was a little confused.

Fun Pics of Bo!

The Beginning of Fall 2009!

This weekend we spent Saturday in Park City. It was beautiful. Our timing was perfect and it was a nice warm day. We rode the Alpine Slide & Alpine Coaster. Savannah was inpatient on the drive up there and waiting in the lines. She can't stand anything that takes too long. Bo has decided that he doesn't want his picture taken by me anymore. What? I wonder why. He says that I ruin the moment when I'm flashing a camera in his face all the time. I just have to laugh because it's so true.



Savannah was in the Primary Program on Sunday. She had her little talk memorized but when she got up there and looked down on all the people, she froze. Thank goodness there was someone there to help her get started. It was kind of crazy not to see Bo up there. Instead, he was sitting with the Deacons and he passed the Sacrament for the first time. Everyone told me how sharp he looked and how clean cut he was and how appropriately he handled himself. He looked so old and was actually "taller" than a few of the others. WOW!

In a "Rut"

Shaun returned last weekend with his prize Bull Elk after hunting for about 7 days. Bo was able to spend some precious time with his dad looking for the "big one" and cow calling the bulls right to them. The bulls were hungry for some lovin' - they call this hunger "the rut".

This was Shaun's first bull elk hunt so, considering that, he was very successful. Both Dad and Shaun shot nice Elk. They have each wanted to draw this tag for a very long time. Kind of interesting that they would draw the same year.

Something really funny to me is the two aspen trees you see below. My Uncle Alan elk hunted in this same area years ago and didn't see anything. So, he carved "NO ELK" in a tree. Years, and years later, my cousin Luke (Alan's nephew) killed a 360 BULL and carved his success in the aspen right next to Alan's. Egg in his face!
