Halloween Recap

I think it's taken until November 4th to recover from all that fun Halloween mayhem. (I'm still munching candy as I type this. Hopefully, I'll get some sent to Taylor in Mexico, hopefully...) Here we are at our final party- Ward Trunk or Treat. Steve wore a light stand and flash attached to a backpack and shot pictures (password is "bellair") all night. That's why he's not in this one. I found these costumes for $0.75 at Good Will on Halloween. They mark them all down then. We picked up a bunch for the dress up box too. I was so excited by my finds!

Here are Brighton and some of her friends from school at the 2nd grade class party. I got to help out and plan this one.

This is the Ward Playgroup Party. We were all cats here. Oh and those black noses? They stayed on for 3 days. Cute on the little boys, not so cute on me!

This is the Preschool Party. Fletcher and Hallie (the butterfly) are the best of friends.

The boys right before we left on a rare cold day to wear long sleeves. We're back to 95 now.

Are you ready for Halloween? We are!

Thanks for the fun pictures, Matt!

Mexican Converts and Elder Taylor Fletcher

Taylor has been so blessed on his Mexican church mission - lots of baptisms for him and his companions.
I just tell Taylor to remember what President Hinckley asked all missionaries to do -
"Every missionary, make a record in your scriptures of every man, woman and child whom you baptize, together with their home addresses. An occassional note from you will give reassurance and a rekindling of joy. When you go home from your mission, do not forget these people."

This pic for Eric!
You may ask - now why a pic of Taylor and a goat?

(Eric's nickname for Taylor has always been "goat" - a very long story.)

An addendum to Erick's snowboard business

Eric's name is out there now - a pawn shop contacted Eric with 8 snowboards they were interested in selling to him. They cut Eric a very good deal - Eric just had to figure out how to stuff 8 snowboards into his small car! Some creative packing is taking place in this pic!

Nice to have the pawn shops helping you with business!

Anybody need a snowboard?

What Eric does in his spare time - his neato business venture while in law school. (Who would have thought that hot Las Vegas would be such a mecca for snowboard selling.)

People don't know what snowboards are worth. Some used sporting goods stores/pawn shops think some junky ones are nice, and some nice ones are junky. I buy the nice ones with junky prices, and then sell them on craigslist for 3x what I paid for them. The prices get even cheaper the more snowboards i buy at once.
Eric

One dad/purchaser is even paying Eric to give his kids snowboarding lessons on the weekend.

We now have three business entrepreneurs in our family utililizing craigslist - Eric, Tessa and Steve! Way to go guys!

My Bathroom Partner

Every now and then I get all fancy and blow dry my hair. That's about the extent of it:) Never far from my side is my well accessorized bathroom partner, Ellis. We ALL love Tiffy's jewelry hand me downs.

Trains and Trucks

So I'm lucky to get to spend my days with 3 sweet little boys until Daddy and Bri get home. The 3 love all things engine - trains, firetrucks, backhoes, diggers, merry go rounds etc. They were a pretty excited crowd when we went on a preschool field trip to the train park and a play group activity to the fire station.
