"If you're not first, you're last" ....Ricky Bobby


With all the dark forces at work in the world today we didn't feel safe sending Layton as a lone Jedi out into the dark Halloween night. Poor Bailey was the only one left without an alternate identity picked out for the special occasion so the responsibility fell on her. Therefore, another Jedi master was born...Bailey meet Yoda!


This is the kids after a full night of "Trick-or-Treating". As you can see, Will is already coming down off his sugar high. Kennedy thinks she is still of age to beg for candy but we have been less than impressed with her "costumes" over the past few years. It is hard to tell her school pictures from her Halloween pictures. She informed us that she was "Sharpay" from "High School Musical" this year. Cassidy was Tracy Turnblad from "Hairspray". Karsyn was Hannah Montana (notice the resemblance to Ricky Bobby's wife?), Layton was a Star Wars Jedi of course and Will was "The Thing" from "fantastic Four". We did a Trunk-or-Treat at the church and then hit up our neighborhood. We had great weather, not a raindrop anywhere in sight!

I saw this costume online and knew that when I couldn't stop laughing, I just had to buy it for Scott. He was such a good sport about it too - he saw an office full of patients that day as Ricky Bobby. His office staff didn't know which was the funniest, his costume or the fact that Dr. Rushing actually dressed up as Ricky Bobby! I am not quite sure what I was - either his 'smokin' hot wife' or Hannah Montana's (karsyn) mom!

Very cute costumes! I thought Karsyn was Cassidy there for a minute with the wig on. I guess I am just not used to your girls being so grown up yet! I like your pre-trick-or-treating meal too. Very festive!

I like how you say that Scott was a good sport, I bet he was loving every minute of it and saying "Shake n bake" all day long. Looks like you guys had fun, and I love the costumes!

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau Scott!

Heather sends us at least one vacation deal to look at each month. In September 2020 she showed us a sale on airfare to Hawaii over Scott's birthday. We had such a fun time there in January 2020 that it didn't take us long to commit and we booked airfare to Maui. We soon realized we couldn't find any affordable lodging in Maui that also offered free cancellation. Generous cancellation policies are definitely a must in these crazy COVID times. Heather found a good deal on lodging in Kauai so we changed our airfare from Maui to Kauai. Yes! Everything was finalized! Well that was until it was declared that all visitors to Hawaii would be required to show a negative COVID test, from one of their approved testing sites, to get off the plane in Hawaii. That was discouraging so we then changed our plans and flights to spend the week in Cancun. Finally we knew where we would be spending Scott's birthday week! Or not. With just a little over a week before our vacation date, the ...

Paris

So here is a look at our trip to Paris.  It might be more than most of you care to read!  I just copied and pasted emails we sent home while on our trip.  This is more for my benefit than anyone else's since this blog is the closest I have come to keeping a journal.  Hope you enjoy the journey- we sure did! View from our Seine River Cruise Day One We have the tiniest little room way up at the very top of a very narrow skinny hotel. It reminds us of the love dungeon (our first basement apartment) but it is up at the top so we called it our "love tower"! The bed is a double and you can only stand up straight in the room if you are standing on Scott's side of the bed! The tub is half size (I think they made it for Napoleon).  But I slept great. The weather was amazing! After getting in it was too early to get our room so we left our bags at the hotel and walked around for about an hour while waiting to meet up with the Parkers again. We were in the Plaza of San Mic...

Memorable highlights and sayings from 2007

January Highlight: Staying at our friends cabin up by Mt. St. Helens. Just a quick drive up the mountain and we had plenty of snow for sledding and great views of St. Helens. January Quote: Scott and I were in the car with Cassidy. I was complaining about how tired I had been. It didn't see m to matter if I slept 4 hours or 8 hours, I always felt tired. Cassidy who had been relatively quiet up till this point pipes up and says, "maybe you are going through menopause." Scot t and I started laughing and then Cassi dy admitted she didn't even know what that meant, she had just heard it in "F ather the Bride II". (by they way, we believe it is due to sleep apnea, not menopause!) February Highlight: Hosting two BYU Young Ambassadors in our home for a couple days while they performed in the Portland area. February Quote: A fter rushing to find Will's shoes before leaving to r un errands he tells me, "Befo re we go to heaven, we need to remember to put o...
