Halloween Pictures!!
Here are the long awaited for pictures of our Halloween activities. At least I'm getting them posted before Thanksgiving. Barry got us 6 pumpkins and we all got to carve our own. Tiffy and Adam shared one. Racer, Rhiannon, and Ryder all ready to scrape out the seeds of their pumpkins.
Happy kids posing for pictures.
Ryder is showing me some of the seeds and guts from his pumpkin.
The twins in their new high chairs. They are called space savers because they don't have legs on the high chair. The chairs can be adjusted to fit any kind of chair or bar stool. I love them and the girls like them too. It is a safe place for them to be and they just love to eat baby food and play with toys on the trays.

Nan and her sticky pumpkin hands.
She is pretending to eat a piece. Mmmmmm...it was delicious.
What a cutie Racer is. His mommy Tiffy is in the background making dinner.
Adam is helping out with the scrapping of the pumpkin.
What is that crazy mommy doing?? She wanted to be part of the fun too.
Barry carved Chantrell's pumpkin. He added a little baby with a curl on her head. He did it free hand with no paper guide like I used for Brenna's.
Barry is really concentrating on his pumpkin. Rhiannon bites her fingernails in anticipation. When will it be done? Will he mess it up?
Brenna's pumpkin is almost done.
Later in the week we did a photo shoot of the pumpkins. Chantrell's baby, Rhiannon's wolf, Ryder's skull, and Racer's witch .
On the end is the combined effort of Tiffany and Adam. A skeleton climbing through the pumpkin. I think that they all turned out nice.





Ryder is holding Brenna by her pumpkin.
Ryder is holding Chantrell by her pumpkin now. The kids love their cousins.
My, Rhiannon...what big eyes you have!! The three kiddies and their pumpkins. Racer was outside in just his t-shirt and undies.
Show me some cool moves.
Howling at the moon. More Halloween pictures are coming.

Part two of the Eugene trip.
On Saturday, October 18th, we went to Kaila's swim meet and Levi's football game. Kaila and Levi are Kevin's kids. Barry and Dave went early to Autzen's Stadium where the Oregon Ducks play football. Levi is in Junior High and his team got to play in this stadium where the college team usually plays. Levi's team won the game. Barry took the video camera and got Levi playing. His dad, Kevin, is the coach.
Stretching legs for the next swim.
Ready to go again.
Driving home along the coast. We had just gone through Newport, where we used to live. It was a really pretty day for a drive.
This one turned out really nice from a moving car.
This is Rose and Dave's house decorated for Halloween.
We all went to watch Kaila swim at the pool. There were over 400 people in there. All the different age groups were swimming and their parents and family cheering them on.

Here is Kaila Lee before her meet. She is 6 feet 1 inches tall and can swim really fast. She gets her height from her dad. Kevin is 6 feet 4 inches tall.
She is in the black bathing suit and blue swim cap.
Get Ready!!
On your mark...get set...

GO!!! I took two video clips of her swimming, but of course they won't load on the computer because they are longer than one minute. Stupid computer. Anyway, Kaila came in first place in all of her events. She has received numerous college letters wanting her to go to their school, full ride scholarship included. She has her heart set on Stanford in California. Kaila is a straight A student and a great athlete. She wants to compete in the 2012 London Olympics. We hope she gets the chance to swim there.Friday, November 14, 2008
Our trip to Eugene, October 17-18.
Brenna is being held by Barry's only grandmother, Margaret Voss. She is Carolyn's mother. Her birthday was the next day and she is now 89 years old. She is very strong and can get around pretty good. Her eyesight and hearing are pretty bad, but that is to be expected. She loved the little girls.
Next, we went over to Rose and David Lee's house. We visited with Tony's girls, Whitney and Chelsey. Here is Whitney holding Brenna.
