Happy Halloween!

We had to get an early start Trick-or-Treating because we were also going to go watch the High School's football game.  Kennedy was dancing at half-time and it was also the League Championship game.  Our team won, making them the Undefeated League Champions!  
Will as a Fireman
Layton as Harry Potter
Karsyn as herself (half angel, half devil)
Cassidy as a Hippie


This was our Happy Haunting dinner, a last ditch effort to get some "real" food in the kid's tummies before they set off for Trick-or-Treating.  I could barely get them to try anything!  Scott told me it was because I did too good of a job making it look disgusting.  Apparantly there is much truth to the old concept that good food is all in the presentation!  We had witches fingers (bread sticks), worms crawling in dirt (noodles under whole wheat bread crumbs), Barbequed Bat Wings, (chicken wings) and Chunky Up-Chuck (fruit salad with food coloring).

Great costumes...but I am with the kids on eating the food. It did look rather disgusting. Great ideas though and very creative. How fun that Kennedy's high school won!

That last one looks especially disgusting. I don't think I could make myself eat that one, either.

Good food must be in the presentation, because I love fruit salad and I don't think I could have eaten up chuck fruit salad!

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...
