Trip to Boise

On November 16th my parents (Nanny and Bompums) celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary so we headed to their house to help them with the celebrating.

After church we headed to the Cheese Factory for some lunch. They sure know how to cook there. The waitress took our picture.

Halloween 2008

Every Halloween our church puts on a Trunk or Treat. Church members decorate their car trunk and hand out candy in the church parking lot. It loads of fun. This year the girls wanted to be princesses (big surprise!). The event is getting so popular that this year we ran out of candy and our youth pastor had to make a mad dash to the store to get more.

Here is Jen with her boys Alec and Gus.

This is another trunk with princesses in it. They were all over the place. These girls go to school with Dallas and Emma. Pictured are Princes Elly, Savannah, and Naomi.

Soccer Awards

The girls played soccer for the first time this year. They liked it at the beginning when the weather was nice and warm.....but as the season moved along and the days got colder their love for the sport cooled off too. At the last game it was 34 degrees with 40 mph winds. That one pretty much did them in. Dallas said she would much rather swim.

The kids got ice cream before their awards.

They each got a medallion to hang on their wall.

Here they are showing off their medallions with their ice cream faces. I was proud of them for finishing what they started, even if they don't ever want to play it again.

Dallas' 7th Birthday

We celebrated Dallas' Birthday in La Grande at Amy and Jebron's house. We surprised her with an hour of horse back riding. She loved it and so did Emma.

After that we went back to Amy and Jebron's for dinner cake and ice cream......and of course the presents.

Emma's 1st Day of Kindergarten

Below is Emma with her teacher Mrs. McClure. Dallas had her last year and just loved her. I'm sure Emma will too.

Emma had a great first day. She met new friends and got connected with old ones. She said the best thing about Kindergarten was getting to eat lunch at school.
