Ward Halloween party

Every year our ward does a Hoedown Halloween party. This year we weren't very organized with the costumes, but we all had on something just a bit country. Eli had his hat and shirts...Whit had a western-esque shirt, and Dora had a pony on her pants. I wore a bandana skirt and boots. Unfortunately we couldn't stay long because Dora goes to bed so early that she timed out by 7.

Here's Eli--he pulled down the bear and its chair and hugged it. Cute, right?


Here he is in the car--so excited to go to church. He asks to go to church almost every day!

Dora was teething but she was a trooper. See the pony?

My little cowboy!

Whit's a super-dad. Here he is posing for me, with Dora too.

Oh no! A family of jailbirds. At least Eli's just visiting.

Darn, now he's in too.

Finally we get Eli into a cactus.

My little sweetie.

Here are Whit and I, all dressed up. Note the skirt and boots. The photo below will have more significance if you are paying attention.

Whit and I met November 12, 2005. This is a photo Emma took that night before the activity. See the skirt and boots?

Yep, I can wear the skirt again (it's a size 4!) Just 7 pounds to go. Maybe 8 now, since I went off the diet yesterday. We went to the temple and had to stop at Baja Fresh... AND THEN had people over for dinner and I ate potroast, fresh bread with honey butter and Emma's angel food cake. Whoops.

Eli wasn't very happy we were leaving and Dora was tired, but we got a shot before we left.

Happy Halloween!
