Okay, I have been tagged by Krisen B. which means I am supposed to share six quirky things about myself. I just want to say that I am the most normal person I know (Ha Ha!!) so it might be a little hard to find something quirky.

1. I snort when I laugh.
2. When I am stressed or really busy, I break into song. Usually not the whole song, just a little of the song and then I move on to the next. (sorry to anyone who has had to endure)
3. My husband is the only man I have ever kissed.
4. I dance in public (but usually only when my teenager is present so she can be totally embarrassed, or at work).
5. I have been known to put earbuds in my nostrils and open my mouth so the music comes out. My sinuses have great acoustics.

I tag Christy C., Tanya M., Dantzel C. and Marianne P.

Halloween

We had a really fun Halloween. Thursday we went to the Spooktacular at the school. The kids had a great time. But when we went in the spook alley, Nate got really scared and screamed and jumped into my arms. I guess we'll skip that part next year.

Everybody had a great time trick or treating and got a ton of candy. It only sprinkled a little bit, and it was warm enough for just a light jacket. I don't have a picture of Aly because she went with her friends, but she was a vampire.

Family Pictures

This post probably holds some record for the number of pictures, but I wanted to include some of my favorite family pictures. I don't really like the slide shows, so here we go.

We went last week and got some family pictures taken. (THANKS MACKENZIE!!) I had originally planned to just have the kids' pictures taken. I was behind on everybody's annual photos, so I thought it was a perfect time to get a group photo. Russ was supposed to be out of town that week, so I was going to surprise him.

Well, after his motorcycle accident, he ended up staying home. When he found out we were taking pictures he wanted to do a family picture. (I really didn't want to be in the pictures!!)

I was out voted and a family photo session was born. I really needed a hair cut and didn't have anything to wear. So I got a new outfit, and did the best I could with my hair. Too bad there isn't a way to lose 100 lbs overnight.

My friend from work took the pictures. She did a great job!! The kids are little posers and had a great time!

I am really glad that we took this opportunity. I am even glad we have a picture of the whole family. Our last family picture doesn't have Sarah in it and everybody was so much younger.

I can't wait to get these printed and up on my wall.

Aly is really growing up. We are getting a little nervous as she is approaching dating age.

Megan is getting bigger all the time too. She was really excited that I let her wear mascara and lip gloss for the pictures.

Courtney is our little spitfire. There is definitely mischief behind those eyes. Please note the leaf in her hand. She found it and had to have it in a picture.

Wow! Nate is a lady killer. He is very particular about the way his hair is gelled and combed. I love his smile and big eyes. He is definitely my little man.

Sarah is the light of our lives. Her smile lights up our days and she is such a sweet heart!

I guess you could say I am pretty proud of my family. I am really blessed!
