Pumpkin carving!!!!

 We gathered at Auntie Chris's to carve pumpkins

 Everyone got busy....

 Gramoom and Papa Paul were running away to Whistler for a few days so they didn't carve.  Gramoom did draw a pirate on her pumpkin, which promptly washed away in the rain....

 Daniel went old school

 Katie carved Stache their kitty

 The boys went with another themed year....of course...this year?  Star Wars!

 

 Jordan did Yoda which was pretty intricate so he finished his up later.

Bree carved a Frenchie

Jordan's birthday party

 Christi made some fun mummy dogs for the party

 Mom and I made a brownie/Oreo cake for him.  Not as great as Christi's cake, but it was yummy.

 Played a lil checkers....

 Wifi extender so he gets better service in his room downstairs....

 And...the TV he has been wanting so he can bring the Xbox, though he is so busy he won't have much time to play it anyway...

Field of Screams!!!

 I bribed J with a hot chocolate to get a picture near the entrance to....the...field...of ....SCREAMS!

It was just an honor pay, no map, no nothing corn maze by the only drive through coffee shop in town.

 Success!  It was a little harder than we thought, but it was fun.  We had a successful mission!

Just love my sisters!

Fun at the pumpkin patch!

 We went to my dad's high school friends, Don Sherman's farm.  Because of the drought this year, he had to bring in pumpkins for keep the towns pumpkin carving dreams alive. 

 

  

 Got a nice picture of most of the family, including a little Californian souvenir that Bree brought home ;-) Daniel, he was really nice and fit into our crazy family juuust fine!

 

 We took his trolley out to the pumpkin patch to look for the perfect pumpkin

 

 Discussing...

  

The views are just breathtaking....

Jordan is 18! No! No! No!

 I filled his car up with balloons...

 Wrote all over it, added a balloon at school...

 As much as I want them to grow up.  No.  Just NO.

Homecoming parade

 The beauty of small towns...the homecoming parade through town on tractors & trailers!  

 Big rig

 Each class does a float.  The theme was sci-fi and there is always one thing that each float has to have.  Some random thing.  One year it was a tire.  This year it was a picture of Nicolas Cage.  Ha!  It's a competition that the Senior class wins every year.

 The senior float, with Nicolas Cage on the hanging ball.  They did an awesome job!

 The Fanbulance, all set up for game watching on the inside, including a big screen TV!

 Close up of the float.

This is it at night, they don't give away all their secrets during the day time parade.  Ha!
