We're Off to See the Wizard...

We had a lot of fun dressing up for Halloween this year! My wonderful Mom made a Dorothy costume for Riana last year and Glenda for Sariah this year, so we decided to dress in a theme. Tierra dressed as the Scarecrow and Karina went as the "Roarrr!!" I mean the Lion. I found a few silver items at Goodwill and went as the Tin"woman." And Grant bought a Matrix costume and added a few things to be the Wicked Witch. The girls were a bit scared of Daddy though, as you can see. I would love to see pictures of everyone in their costumes!! :)

I See Apples...

Wayne and Julie posed for this picture in preperation to submit their mission papers. I think it is a lovely photo. It causes me to reflect on Julie's explaination of the apple charm they brought for the reunion necklace. I'm pretty sure she said they were "romantic." to her, and that she had always "dreamed" of being given and apple by her sweetheart. I hope her heart smiles when she sees this photo.:o)

Ft. Walla Walla Scavenger Hunt

My pictures of the Reunion

The next five posts are of the pictures that I took at the Reunion. First, I have a few random ones, including pictures of the Charm/Bead Necklaces. Let's see if I can remember who brought which charm.

Sports Balls & Musical Items- Scott and Debbie's Family because they love Music and Sports

Blue or White Bead with a Yellow Star- Lance and Breanna, I think

Hard Hats- Stuart and Glennis, I think

Pineapple, Fish, Butterfly, etc.- either Denae and Paul or Christy and David

Many colors of Flowers- Elizabeth and Mark because they love nature (hiking, camping, etc.)

Soldiers- Eldon and Stephanie because they fought through many tough things this year and came out stronger!

Small silver charms with sayings (Love, Believe, etc.)- either Denae and Paul or Christy and David

Golf Tees- Ed and Carolyn because they love Golf

Hearts Bound Together- Grandma, Luetta, and Alaine because they have lots of love

Voyage of Discovery- Wayne and Julie brought this to represent the Reunion

Puzzle Pieces- Jana and Darik because they were really puzzled about what charm to bring

Mexican Pictures- Laurie and Jose to represent their family heritage

Apples and Ladybugs- Wayne and Julie because she loves Apples and Ladybugs

White Stars- Celestia and Fatih because the white star is the one thing that is the same on the Turkish and American Flags

Green Tree inside Yellow/Blue- Karla and Mike- shimmering blue is the rain and stars, yellow is the sunshine, and the green trees because we live in the Evergreen State

Golden Oldham Oar- Teresa and Dave because they love Canoeing/Kayaking/Boating

Blue BYU Bead- Melissa and Bryan because they are attending BYU

Different colors of Dolphins- Angela and Grant because they went swimming with Dolphins this year

I know that I probably have half of these wrong. So please correct me and help me with the missing ones.

"Fear Factor"

I must say, Fear Factor was pretty gross. I think our faces pretty much say it all!! :)

More Skit Pictures

The skits were so hilarious!! I loved learning more about our Grandparents!! :) Those stories were great! My favorite was the one about secret swimming while the kids were asleep. LOL!!
