Begging for Candy!!

This year for Halloween started off the same as every other year!!
Davone had to work... So mom and dad invited us over for dinner since they also invited the missionaries over.

While in West Virginia Kiannah dressed up as a cowgirl... I thought she was real cute! We used the costume for our trunk-or-treat at church and it just was not the same without Ryan's red shirt we borrowed from Charity! Thanks again Charity!! Also I figured if we were doing a lot of walking the boots were not going to have enough traction and they are not comfortable enough!! So we changed it up a bit for trick-or-treating!!



This year we put together costumes at the last minute again!!! Imanni was an Orange and Black witch....

She liked it so really that is ALL that matters!!

Johnathan wanted to be a vampire!! Once again... He was happy!! So after talking with the missionaries for a while we were off to beg for candy!



We go to the same area EVERY year!! We have pretty good luck with it too!!
Davone got to meet up with Sarah Palin ( Not perfect but we knew who she was going for! ).

Halloween is so much fun!! It is after all the unofficial start of the Holiday season!!!

Surprise!!

Yesterday was my Mother's Birthday! My Brother and I have been planning for weeks to throw her a surprise party. It HAD to be today.... Since he wasn't flying into town until today! Noodles Restaurant was the venue. Just a few friends, Nothing too big.... but real nice. He had VERY specific instructions about everything. Mostly about the cake. He wanted Chocolate on Chocolate with chocolate shavings, 2 layers, elegant, and Chocolate! :) So Angel and I went to order the cake. We met all of his specifications and even ordered an extra cake that was Sugar Free since after all mother is Diabetic! So here is what mine and Angel's version of the cake Kenny wanted looked like!

So surprisingly Kenny approved......I was so shocked!!!

The guest list included Kenny and his girlfriend Sherry ( lovely name if I do say so myself! ),

Then of course we can not have a party without Angel!!

Then there was Bill and Tracey ( sorry this is the best shot I got )

There was also Ruby and Barry Wells ,Thoraya Fleming, and James and Debra Quinn.

Then the Guest of Honor.... Mom and Her guest .... Dad! :)

An then there is Davone, Kiannah and I.

It was a lot of fun! We were able to pull it off without her knowing!! I had to lie a little and make a lot of phone calls ....But in the end knowing how happy it made Mom, and to see how excited that she was to have everyone there for HER!!! It was so worth it! I love my mother and I am so very thankful for all she does to bless me and my family!
