Jennifer Bremner had a great costume! We think she's hilarious! The boys think she's their aunt or grandma or something, since she's always so nice to them! We are so grateful for her and the service she always offers our family.

Kendra in her witch outfit. It's hard t tell with the coat on!

Ryen, the star Wars guy in white

Ethen, the Mountain Dew man. He came up with this on his own. Trey is one of his good friends.

We had lots of fun on Halloween! We started off with the town parade. Then, I helped with the kindergarten party. Trick or Treating was fun too! Tracy stayed home and passed out the candy. He had a blast! I am so glad the weather cooperated! It was such a nice day outside, without the wind. What a true blessing!

Tracy has his epidural scheduled for Thursday if all goes well. So hopefully he will be out of pain soon. He is managing ok, so that is good. His blister is healing nicely, and so is the cut we gave him when our lift was broken. He's quite patient with us. (well, most of the time)

Robin returned today. That made life even better. She's been out of town for a while.
She is the greatest help I have right now. What a great blessing it was especially today to have her come and get Tracy ready. Sadly, she is suffering from some back problems, so hopefully she can continue with her work. She knows all the ins and outs with getting Tracy showered, up and dressed. Gotta love her! And I DO!

How can we gain an hour and STILL Be late for church? That was ridiculous. I understood Tracy being late because he had to wait on Robin, but for us...I guess we are a hopeless cause. I figure...at least we showed up. (my feelings...not others'...as I got a few odd stares like...geeze) One of these days, I might decide it's not worth hauling all these little kids to church, but I haven't gotten to that point yet, as I am trying not to let other people's opinions get to me too much. (yeah right). I feel like a fish out of water in my ward sometimes. Like a freak. Oh well, maybe I am.

Things are going a little better around here. Which is hopeful. I am not sure why we have had things so much harder lately. It must just be life. I guess it's time to let the expectations down a little. It's hard for us to do that, since we are both "high expectation people". It might be kind of hard to tell we were ever this way, but...yeah...breathe in, breathe out...breathe in...

But...every day is a gift. We feel this in many ways with everyone around us. We have awesome kids, and they make our life so full! The adventures and fun NEVER end. :) I LOVE being a mom
Thanks for being our friends!

Since this is the time for goblins and bats,

Halloween spirits and ghosts and cats,

Weird happenings and witches brew,

These are the thing we wish for you:
May the only ghost that comes to stay,

Be the Holy Ghost to guide your way.

May the only spirits you chance to meet,

Be the spirits of love and warm friendship sweet.
May the only trick you are asked to do,

Be the trick of helping a child or two.

These are our Halloween wishes for you,

And may God bless you in all you do!
