Pumpkin Carving 2011

Pumpkin carving chaos with 6 kids! Pumpkin guts and seeds flying all over the kitchen! Maddie and I were tired of slimy pumpkins so we made Halloween cookies while everyone else carved away. Everyone had tons of fun! We have some creative kiddos!

Camry's pumpkin is missing from the photo because she was at a play practice and had to carve hers later...Kaleb and Jace chose the scary skull, Garet and Jeff created Spongebob Squarepants, Maddie did the Koolaid pumpkin, Easton did the 3 dancing ghosts, and Camry had an awesome haunted house.

Pretty sure the dad's like pumpkin carving as much as the kids! :)

Thriller 2011

We decided to take the guys with us to Thriller this year. We had great seats...WAY better than last year! It was amazing as usual and I think the guys even liked it!

Our original seats had this weird riser at our feet. Our knees were up to our chins. We moved closer as soon as the show started and we saw some empty seats. Lucky it wasn't sold out or the guys would have died!

Corey and Jacci

Autumn and Bryan

Thriller wouldn't be Thriller without our traditional "scared face photo"...even Cor joined in.

Murder in Sin City

Jacci and Corey hosted another Murder Mystery Dinner this year. This time it was 1960 Las Vegas. Jacci outdid herself on the decorations! Cor was in charge of all of the gambling games and the prizes. We had a delicious meal of chili and rolls for dinner, cream puffs for dessert, and a bar with jello shots, sparkling cider, root beer and Mountain Dew martinis. Every one had a fake cigarette and we ran a fog machine to give the casino a smokey affect. We had such a good time playing black jack and craps and solving the murder. Everyone was dressed perfectly making the voting extra hard! It was so much fun...

Introducing the suspects:

Jim Bean (aka Greg)... The Bar Tender and winner of Best Male costume
