Candy Time '08

All dressed up and ready to go. The Queen of Hearts, the Soldier, and the Pumpkin Fairy had a great time trick or treating with friends around the neighborhood. The only problem now is what to do with five pounds of candy. It's sad that they don't even appreciate the good stuff... snickers, butterfingers, twix, etc... All they want is the nasty hard stuff. The problem with this is that I'm the one who will end up eating all the good stuff if we don't find a new home for it soon. On a side note, thank you Grandma for the cool eyes and stuff to stick on the pumpkins. All the fun minus the sticky mess, my kind of Jack-o-lantern.

Note the hand grenade hanging from Dillon's belt. He wanted a gun to go with his costume and this was my compromise. Do you know how hard it is to find a toy grenade, even those I found on EBay were going for over $20.00. After a long search with no luck I just happened upon one in Rite Aid of all places.

Trick or Treating in the John Carroll dorms with the Lamborn's. Lots of fun, especially when we went to the scary dorm basement and the kids totally freaked out (at least Jen and I thought that part was fun).

Thanks Mom! Sooo Funny!

Results

Well it's finally over. We found out at 7am this morning that Travis passed the bar. Now we can resume living relatively normal lives. We are so proud of our, now official, attorney.

Sneak Peak

This is just a sneak peak of the family photo shoot we did at Edgewater Park with Sarah Palfreyman last Saturday. I am anxious to see how the rest of the pictures turned out. If they're half as good as this one then I'm satisfied. What an amazing photographer. I love the way the city looks in the background and Travis' building is right in the middle. I just wish I was wearing more lip gloss. :)

Fall Fun

If you're living in Cleveland during the Fall there are a few things you can't miss. Patterson Fruit Farm is great year round, but best in the Fall. The Family Fun Fest is a blast when the weather permits, and runs from September 13th - November 2nd. hey have corn mazes, horse drawn wagon rides, tractor trikes, slides, hay piles, tire swings, junk food, apple picking, etc, etc, etc... At $6.00 a ticket (2 and under are free) you should plan on staying a few hours.
Oh, and you can get your pumpkins there too.





We also love to get in on the Halloween Hayrides at Lake Farm Parks. They run Fridays and Saturdays for three weekends starting October 10th. They have 4 different time slots each night and tickets sell out fast so call ahead to reserve your $5.00 tickets (2 and under are free) at 440-256-2158. The hayride is fun and VERY kid friendly, and there is a lot to walk through afterwards. Enjoy!

You're Gonna Laugh

Thank You Cathy, for this Hilarious video. Yes, I did grow up in Austin, but unfortunately not all the elderly were quite as funny as this one.

WA. Finale... finally

We had so much fun seeing Nana Charlotte, we'll miss you.


Great Grandpa Don, Grandma Sheri, and Uncle Gary all hanging out at the lake.


Papa giving Dillon and Charlee a ride on the TOTE GOTE. Loads of fun.


Travis and I got away to Seattle to get in a session at the Temple and eat at the restaurant we had out reception dinner at, The Icon Grill.



We took the kids to Sand In The City downtown Olympia. This is always a great event and the sand displays didn't disappoint.



Then we went to Lake Easton. It was a beautiful day and a great way to end a fantastic vacation.
So to all our family, we love you all and miss you so much. Thank you for making our summer a great one.
