A little behind

I am a little behind in my blogging so this is again from last week. I will catch up with this week when I get my camera back from Jeff's parents. I forgot it there after Thanksgiving.
Anyway, these pictures are from our Beautiful Day event last Saturday. Jeff was the brain behind the event with our neighbor and friend Leana. We were able to provide food boxes and turkeys/chickens to over 35 families. It was a fun day. We had food and games and activities for the kids. We had a jump house outside and the local pet shop brought some animals for us to experience. My friend Laura, her husband and her leadership class volunteered to run the stations in the kid room which was fabulous. They did a great job and we had lots of help from so many different people. GRX, New Life, Willow Glen Middle School, neighbors, the local elementary school. It was a good day.

Friends

Last week our friends David and Tanya came by to visit. Micah took to Tanya right away. He took her by the hand and dragged her into his room to show off his toys. After dinner he wanted her to play with him. Tanya said she loved playing with Micah. She is such a sweet heart. Jeff and David had deep discussions which Tanya and I joined in on and Jeff jammed a little on the guitar bringing back memories of David and Jeff being in a band together. Good times. : )

Grumpy faces.


Surprised face.

Shavin' time

Jeff and Micah took some time to get cleaned up. My handsome men.

New Used Car

We got a new car. It is a 2003 Honda Odyssey. It has quite a few miles on it but we are hoping since it is a honda it will last for a while. I really like it so far.

Happy Halloween

For Halloween I dressed up as a construction worker. I always join in with a few other teachers on something.

Kevin and Luann came over and joined us for part of the night. We went to a few houses in the neighborhood trick-or-treating. By Halloween Micah was a little trick-or-treated out. Jeff brought him to an outdoor mall on Tuesday where the kids dressed up and the stores handed out candy. On Wednesday Jeff's mom's group had a little party where the kids dressed up. Friday Jeff brought Micah to another outdoor mallish avenue where they trick-or-treated with the stores. And of course Friday night was Halloween. It was more like Halloween week than Halloween night. : )

Jeff was so happy and proud of his halloween costume. He bought it at the goodwill on the way home halloween night for $10. He got so much pleasure out of scaring the kids. It was pretty funny how excited he was about it. I think he will wear it every year. He did look a tad bit intimidating.

My men.

I thought Micah looked quite adorable in his halloween costume. So cute.
