an ADULT HALLOWEEN PARTY

"Jeannie and Master Nelson" - i dream of jeannie

3rd annual Halloween Party!!

Every year it seems to get better and better. The costumes are thought out deeply and carefully, hairstyles are professionally done, and costumes get personally made. Its our time when we adults get to dress up like children - party and have a great time! Its our time to trick or treat with incredible friends, yummy food, and lots of alcohol!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Pumpkin picking @ Aloun Farms in Hawaii....

Pumpkin picking @ the Roloff Farm in Oregon

This is the type of picture i got when i asked Mrs. Roloff's body guard to take our picture....grrr. I should have brought the point & shoot camera.

The type of pumpkins that are left at the Roloff farm when you wait till for the last weekend before Halloween. We really came home with green/orange pumpkins. Should have gone to the market!!

"Trick or Treat!!"

It rained all day! The weather man predicted it would rain with no chance of dry weather. We were set with our rain jackets and i had the umbrella. BUT wouldn't you know it. It stayed dried, the sky cleared, not one drop of rain, ... but it was still stinking cold!! (Well, i was cold - the rest of the family stayed warm.) Hope all of you had a safe and warm Halloween!!!

Getting things done.

Life is moving on. Finally getting back to life after a 2 week vacation from Hawaii.

Accomplished checklist:

• grab bags for jadeline's class for Halloween party-check
• Jadeline's costume completed - check
• Pick up Ashton's Halloween mask-check
• Clean up shoe area; pack up Jade's old shoes for Abi - check
• November/December department schedule completed-check (grr.. now its on to the next one)
• Pick up bigger tights for Jadeline (its cold here in Hillsboro.) - check
• Enroll Jadeline into Ballet and hip hop class - check
• Send out Troy's Halloween card - check

... thats just 1/3 of my list. But at least its getting checked off.

Jadeline had her ballet and hip hop class today. Her class will be every Thursdays @5:15 pm - 7pm for both classes. It looked like she had so much fun. It was nice to see that she fit right back in. She's got Ms. Kristy as her ballet teacher again. And Ms. Kacie is her hip hop class - she's teaching Jade some street dancing. Speaking of which, i broke down and enrolled myself in the adult hip hop class. It was normally on Monday's but after talking to the other mom's who's also dancing in it, that i would really enroll if it was on another night, - and wow, they changed the class to Wednesday nights from 6-7pm!! Can you believe that? So if you are interested in joining, find us every Wednesday @ Northwest Conservatory Dance. 

Oh above is Jadeline's pink room that her dad painted while she was in Hawaii.... And check out her pink PJ's that Grandma Raquel got her... LOL. She blends right in...

Just a few pictures from Hawaii. Way to many pictures to get on here... just a few of my favorites. Enjoy

UPDATED PIX

Its still crazy here. Don't know what i was thinking when i worked an extra shift at work the other night. As if i have nothing better to do right? 

Jadeline had her Fall festival last Friday night. It was fun. She played various games - including the limbo that she insisted she do. By the way, her eye doctor appointment was also on Friday and she's fine. We'll have to repeat her test next year. So far she's 20/30 in both eyes. Not as awful as we thought.

We had our annual Halloween Party Saturday night, but i'll have to post that in another post. Lots of editing and way to many pictures!! +200. Didn't realize i took so many!!

And our holiday begins! Jade will begin ballet on thursday, and Ashton is signed up for his basketball season. Now what to do for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years??

I'm back....

Back from Hawaii. But catching up with work and chores at home. Will get some pictures up soon.
