Halloween!!

Thanks to hand-me-downs and things found in closets, we had an awesome and cheap halloween this year. Everyone got to be something new this year and I spent only about $20 this year. I think I spent more than that in candy this year. Our neighboorhood is CRAZY at Halloween. Everyone from the reservation comes into town and parks at the church on our street and trick or treats in our hood. A lot of our neighboors said they went through $50 worth of candy in the first hour. Luckily we dodged the bullet because we were gone trick or treating during the rush and only had a few when we got back. But before we could get going we couldn't answer the door fast enough so Riley sat on the porch and went through a bowl of candy in about 15 minutes. Riley as a Geisha
Nolan as a pumkin, he was content to ride in the wagon the whole time and eat candy. Coulter was a good brother and took Nolans candy bucket with him, and picked out the best "baby" candy he could....according to Coulter.

Coulter as Frankenstein, this is the only costume I had to buy, and I got a smokin deal on it.

One of the Best Halloweens Yet. You have got to love Arizona weather for Halloween.

Goodbye Summer

Thanks for the Memories........ Coulter Scaling the wall at the Halloween Bash

Our last trip to Lone Rock. The water was SO high this year, the beach disappeared and the water was all the way up to the sticker bushes. Not very fun to go swimming and get caught up in a hidden sticker bush in the water. It really cut down on our trips out to the beach.

Nolan loves the water, he doesnt want to be held. He'll just keep crawling out until his head is under water, then still keep going. He's a sneaky little fella.

Veterans Day Weekend

We had a busy Veterans Day Weekend. My pics loaded backwards in order and I am too lazy to fix them. So here is our weekend in reverse. We took a trip out to Navajo Bridge to see if there were any California Condors hangin out there. We were in luck because we saw FOUR. For those who dont know Condors were almost extinct with only 21 left in the world. There are now 181 in the wild. There are a group that hang out in the Vermillion cliffs near where we live. They are also huge. The largest bird in North America.

Riley also participated in her second Girls on the Run 5K in Flagstaff. Cody was her running buddy. They did great and ran it in aout 40 minutes.

And last, but not least.....the vetrerans day parade. Maycie got to ride shotgun in Cody's patrol car and throw out dum dum suckers.

Riley walked with her Girl Scout troop. She was on the opposite side of the road from me so I wasn't able to get a good photo.

Coulter rode with his Cub Scout troop. This was his version of "smile" when I yelled "Coulter smile, so I can take a picture"
