Halloween Pictures!

I didn't get a chance to take a picture before it got dark, darn it all. CJ had a friend, (Sam)walk with us in our Neighborhood. Sam was Elvis, I thought that was hilarious, he did a good job with the lip and hip sway.
We have here a Lady Bug, Ninja, SpiderMan, Jabbawokeez Dancer and a frog. I think the frog wins. He's so dang cute.

There's that cute frog again.
We had a really big scare later that night. We had gone over to show our costumes to Auntie,the Weeks had had some of their friends over as well. There were children runny around everywhere and in & out the door to give candy away. After awhile one of the kids asked where Cade was. We checked and called all through the house and couldn't find him. Earlier the kids had left several times to go trick or treating so we began to think that he must of ran off trying to catch up with the group and maybe got lost in the neighborhood. The adults got into a couple vehichles and searched the neighborhood while the kids ran from door to door calling his name. We did this for about 20-25mins. and still no sign of Cade. The streets were pretty much emtpy buy this point and we were freaking out. This is what I think is amazing, about the same time all the different groups began to arrive at the house and all of us had our separate thoughts that we should check our vehicle again. Sure enough CJ got there first opened the door and felt around until he found Cade curled up in a ball asleep in the back. The dome light hadn't come on because earlier that day Mason had pushed the override button so when whoever checked the first time couldn't see into the back. When things finally calmed down we figured out the story. Auntie, Chris and I had taken the kids over to a neighbor to show them the kids costumes on the way back Cade was so cold he ran ahead and jumped into the car to warm up, and accidently fell asleep, very quickly. Chris actually walked by the car and noticed the door was slightly open but thought it was just left open from when we first arrived and of course Chris didn't see him in there because the dome light wasn't on. I can't believe Cade didn't make a noise when Chris shut the door and it's hard to believe that he could have fallen asleep that fast, but then again Cade is known for falling asleep fast in really weird places. Our prayers were answered that night, thank you Father in Heaven.

Market Day


In second and third grade our school has the children participate in what's called Market Day. Each child has to come up with a project or service and decide how much to sell it for and how many to make. The kids get to walk around to all the different booths and buy from each other with their preearned tickets. We came up with the idea to sell Dollar rings, good thing they gave us a month notice, we cut and folded about 50 rings.

We are proud to say that CJ was able to sell all of his product!!! Yeah, CJ. I thought it would be fun to do a raffle for a real Dollar ring, but CJ thought that was just too embarrassing. Funny kid.

Do you remember the name Shawn Bradley?

Chris had heard that Shawn Bradley the NBA basketball player would be in the Marietta area speaking at a fireside, so he took CJ, Connor and Tanner. Chris said it was very good and interesting, and said he mentioned some of the struggles of trying to keep gospel standards while in the NBA. Chris said he was really a nice guy and stuck around for awhile shaking hands and taking pictures.
