Halloween with the Grandkids

Here we are a Travis' house with the grandkids, almost ready to head out Trick-or-Treating. It is hard to get everyone ready and lined up at the same time! The weather turned out really mild and pleasant, after a few days of cold, wind, and rain.

Here we are, almost at the end of the Trick-or-Treating. A few of the costumes have lost their parts, but everyone is still having a good time. We had 9 of the 11 grandkids together for this fun little event. I guess the two scare-crows are representing the two oldest boys, who were visiting with friends this evening.

Riley's first Halloween. Isn't he a cute little pumpkin!

Amanda, Eric, and Riley going trick-or-treating. Riley was a good little pumpkin and enjoyed playing with the candy bars in their wrappers. I guess Mom and Dad will have to eat the candy this year. But watch out next year!!!Just chillin-out after Trick-or-Treating.

These are the yummy treats that Eric and Amanda made for Halloween. Aren't they creative? What fun, and so yummy too.

Happy Halloween!

Can you tell that this family is fans of the Boise State Broncos football team? Here's the gang ready to head off to the game on Halloween afternoon. By the way, BSU won the game and is still undefeated for the season.

For my birthday I got a pair of saw horses. Every time we do a project I say that we need to get some saw horses to hold up the boards. Wendy is so good at helping with my 'wishes'. I'll make sure that Don gets to use these too!

My birthday gift LAST year was the announcement that Eric and Amanda were expecting a baby. This year is was wonderful to have Riley here and get to play with him. He is 6 months old and soooooooooo cute.

Carol's birthday

We got together at Travis' house to celebrate Carol's birthday last week. Ninna fixed dinner for us all then we had cake and ice cream. It was fun to be together with some of the kids and grandkids. This is the reward for getting older - to get to have such good times with kids and grandkids. They're awesome!

Collecting Firewood

It was Don's day off today so we went to the hills to get a load of firewood. Don has to do most of the work to get the wood. I just go along to keep him company. We enjoy our drives in the hills. The trees are starting to turn colors. While out we found one geocache (and got a 'First to Find' on it.) We also placed two of our own geocaches for other to find. We've had a good day.
