Annual Halloween Bash!

We went as ourselves for Halloween.

This is my cool pumpkin up close. I used red sprinkles to put on the mouth for blood and saved some of my gooey stuff for around the mouth and inside.

My mom went dressed up as a bag lady! Pretty clever.

Buzz, my sister Jenny and me.

Mine, Candy's, Charlotte's, Chucks (his had so many warts on it) and the winner!!! (bottom right) was my brother Chris's. His best friend happened to be the judge, so he was impeached!!

All a glow, at Halloween.

My sister Jenny and husband did a really awesome thing with their pumpkin and made a Rat Resort. I think they should have won for Best Costume Design! Better luck next year.

My pumpkin. It came in 2nd, but it sure didnt win the $40 up for grabs! I thought it was the best job I ever did. I didn't even use a stencil either. Chuck was actually shocked because I dont have a creative bone in my body.

Buzz Lightyear, to the rescue and beyond!!

Buzz and me. He loves me so much!! Yea he tells me all about his day and wants me to be his godparent more so than uncle Chris.

Pumpkin Patch.

This wasn't the biggest pumpkin out there. Oh, there were bigger ones! By far the coolest patch I have ever been too.

One of the three tractors on display at the Yucaipa Pumpkin Patch. I tried to be Picasso-like.

Chuck's stepdad, John, and his mom Christine.

Frankenstein came up behind us to capture the Kodak moment.

Pizza night with Meemo and Peepo.

Chuck and Kanoa

Chuck and his two favorite people in the world!

Three generations....Charles Edward Franklin,Jr.; Charles Edward Franklin IV; Charles Edward Franklin III. Waiting on Charles Edward Franklin V!

The purest of hearts, Meemo, and her hard to handle grandson!

We had another get-together with Meemo and Peepo and decided to do pizza at their house rather than going out, and it worked so much better that way. We were able to stay longer and relax. Also Chuck's dad is newly engaged to his fiancee, Kim!

Sams visit to California!

My sister Sam came down to visit us in California. Peyton and Chloe joined her. They become more funny as they get older. Peyton is potty trained and has been for almost a month now. He looks so cute and funny in his Cars, Superman, Toy Story underwear. And Chloe is right behind him in the training department. She was always saying..."momma, Sheya, I got a poop on!" Fricken hilarious. She talks more too and the stuff she says is out of this world. The older they get, the sadder it gets for the people who don't see them that often. These two little ones can make you laugh when you are having the worst day in the world and your ready to give up. One look at them laughing or one touch from them makes you realize that you are lucky. They are each special in their own way and I can't say enough to Sam to let her know that she was truely being watched out for when these monsters came into her life. Sam you are an amazing mom and those kids know you love them so much and vice versa!

The 4 Musketeers!

Charlotte became #4 grandchild for Momma Smith. Peyton(3), Chloe(2), Bryis(1.5), and Charlotte(1.5 weeks).

Bryis(Oh crap, something just got stuck!)...Chloe(This is boring, when can i put on my hoe pumps?)...Peyton(Um, can someone do something with this thing?)...Charlotte(I can't put my arms down!)

Labor Day weekend in Utah.

Dont worry, she is already signed by an agent for the cutest little girl in the whole world!

Sushi!! These kids devoured edamame! They were even trying to use the chopsticks.

The girls at Swiss Days in Midway, UT.

Chloe, the cutest little girl ever!!

Crazy runs in the family.

We're the 2 best friends that anybody could have...we're the 2 best friends that anybody could have...and we'll never ever ever ever ever leave each other!

Yes, I am older than her by 15 months!

Trip to Wyoming.

The biggest weiner ever!



So I just thought this sign was hilarious. If you read it, you'll know why....

This guy was wearing no underwear under his chaps! We just had to look underneath and take a picture.

So me, my sister Sam and mom took a trip to Wyoming for Labor Day weekend to the Mountain Man Rendezvous. Pretty interesting people live up here in the woods and mountains. You wonder what they do for fun all the time?!....
This Fort Bridger was one of the historical sites from the Civil War and still had the stone and brick buildings standing. They also had the few houses still standing with all the original wood flooring and stairs.
