Halloween '08

These are the pumpkins that the kids and Mike carved. These are also the pumpkins that magically grew in our flower bed all summer. It was way fun to watch them grow, it took over the whole flower bed and the grass in the front. We got a lot of comments about the plant. We figure they grew from the year before pumpkins that were left there while it snowed.

The pumpkins in the dark!!! SCARY!

Kilee was a bunny rabbit and the bow was one that Mikes sister gave her that I fixed a little! She was good for a little while, then she was done by the time we got to grandmas house!

Brock resting after doing his pumpkin. He did most of the carving on his own this year it was way cute!

This is the crew! Mckenzie was a hippie, Brock was Anakin (from Star Wars) and Hunter was of course Darth Vader. We went to my sister Robyn's house first and went in her neighborhood a little bit. Brittany came with us she was a mermaid and Josh also came and he was a motocross guy at first then he changed and was an army guy! We had a lot of fun, but it was a long night. After we went to Robyn's we went to Mikes moms neighborhood and meet up with his sisters. That was a fun neighborhood, and they have a lot of older kids that go so Kenzie, Josh and Brittany didn't feel weird as they are almost to old for this anymore. Hunter gave out after about 10 houses so he went back to Grandmas. Well we all know that his candy was for Mike and I, plus I was having a moment. So I grabbed the mask that came with Brock's costume and I went Trick or Treating. Kenzie and I had a blast (we took of and left Brock with Mike.) It was fun to act like a kid again and spend time with Kenzie goofing off!! She really is like my little sister a times (that's what my sisters all tell me anyway)

Sorry it took so long to post. As of Oct. 3 Mike has been Unemployed. His work laid off all but 4 guys, and well he was one of them. With this we decided that I would go get a job were ever I could get one and he would look for one that was going to pay him at least what he was making. I now work at Maverick gas station. Its a hard job but its OK. Its kinda funny because the people I work with are amazed that I don't want to work there the rest of my life. I am hoping and waiting to get back on with Labcorp (the company I worked for before I had Kilee) but they are on a hiring freeze until the new year (something about the stocks.)Mike is collecting Unemployment and that is helping, he has been really good at keeping the house clean and the kids homework done. He has been going out looking for a job every chance he gets, but with no education its hard. He has experience in construction but there is not much building going on in Utah right now. I know we will get past this I just hope it goes by fast!!!! Keep us in your prayers!
