SCARY Halloween 2012




Here are our two lovebirds carving scary pumpkins!
I guess the pumpkins weren't so scary after all! 
Here is the whole pumpkin - carving gang
Here are the scary "Marry Me?" pumpkins.  We are all very glad Stacie carved in "YES!"
Checking out the final pumpkin carving results.  Notice the lovebirds have to snuggle up to stay warm, while the old married couple stay four steps away from each other!
Grandma and Ryan checking out the pumpkin display.  Scary!
Here is one scary kid that came to our house on Halloween.  He tried to be scary, but he was just a very cute bug!

BOYS ONLY! NO GIRLS ALLOWED!

 On Memorial Day we had a picnic and kids came over.  We visited the cemetery and here is Ryan ready to head back to the house after checking out all the grave stones and putting flowers on them.

 Eli and Caleb being nothing but adorable. 
 Eli and Ryan finishing off their ice cream cones.  We went over to Sarah and Steves' house to help unload and here are a couple of the helpers. 
 Ryan loves the swimming pool.  He shows little fear but plenty of smile.
 Noah has some pretty cute faces.  Paul was the etch-a-sketch artist.
Eli was very tempted at the cemetery.  You can understand that.  One more peek-a-boo face from Noah.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY SWEETIE!

Krysta did a cute anniversary tribute or birthday tribute to Adam a couple of years ago and I thought then I would do the same. So let's start with the top 10 reasons I love that cute guy Doug.

10. In 35 years of marriage and a stressful job he does not bring his work home. That does not mean he does not do some of his work at home, it means he does not complain.

9. He has been known to be fun. We have all seen it so we know it's there.

8. Doug hangs up his own clothes. I hear that's pretty amazing and maybe i should have it as the number 1 reason but I am spoiled and used to it. Thanks honey.

7. Every 10 years he has attended something that I want to go to and he doesn't. That makes 3 times so far. There might be more but I can't think of them.

6. He is always there for anyone in his family, our children and it will be the same for the grandkids. Very responsible about his role as oldest son, father and grandpa.

5. Loves The Gospel, he just doesn't advertise it. I promise.

4. Good provider. Need I say more.

3. Lets me do the crossword and doesn't get mad even though he likes doing them too. I usually save him some (not by choice). He does tell me he could fix my mistakes quicker if I would spell the words correctly to start out with.

2. Greatest grandpa ever. All the kids wish they could be one of our grandkids.

1. Everytime Doug answers the phone when it's me phoning he always says, "hello beautiful."
