Alex and Mark getting into ‘character’. Alex is a serial killer and Mark is a Zombie.
Mark’s face make-up turned out so cool! It was even more awesome when his face started falling off toward the end of the party 
I think Alex forgot what ‘character’ he was supposed to be.
This is Rebekah and her cousin as newborn vampires. Yes, think ‘Twilight’.
Justin got home from work sometime after the party started. Very proud of his Angry Bird in a Santa hat!!!
Mark’s pumpkin was a combination picture. On one side he freehanded the Batman symbol and on the other he freehanded ‘Minecraft’. It is a game.
Rebekah painstakingly traced this from a book we had and yours truly got the job of cutting it out. First, we grew these pumpkins and the flesh was about two inches thick with a hard outer crust. Second, it is kinda cool that you cannot tell that I lobbed off one of his horns and that his lower jaw was barely hanging on!!!
Um, yeah it has been awhile since I posted. I'm sorting through my pictures today and thought I'd share some. Rebekah turned 11 in October. Next year, all of my children will be out of Primary. They grow up so fast!! While your changing diapers endlessly it sure doesn't feel like it, but then all of the sudden you are looking back on all of that with fond memories!!!
A couple of years ago, or so, I took a picture of Rebekah and Hannah on the Easter Egg Hunt. I liked the picture so much that I tried to take one every year since. Well, I say tried because I found three since 2006. Anyway, I took the one above on Saturday.
This one is from 2007.
And 2006.
First: Baking Soda
Second: Colored vinegar
Rebekah always (other than Arizona) celebrates her birthday with Aunt Jeanie, whose birthday is on the 1st of November. This is the third year in a row that we have had a Halloween cake and so this will probably be our new tradition.
OK Rebekah actually asked for a Lava Lamp. She also asked for a bean bag chair which is on order to be picked up sometime next week.
I couldn't let a birthday pass, at least with her, without getting her some books to read.
This is a picture of the boys reaction when she opened up a Cheatah girls CD.
We got free tickets to see the Cheetah Girls One World Concert last Wednesday. Thank you Uncle Sam. If you can't tell poor Livvie was sick. Priceless moment: Haley's face as she watched the first opening band, 535. They were horrible and if my batteries had not been dieing I would have taken her picture because she was absolutely unimpressed - as were we all. The second band, The Clique Girls, were much much better.
And here they are!!!! Not that you can tell in either of these photos, but . . . Cool thing is we were watching the Disney channel on Sunday night and they had clips from the concert. They said that Austin was their first stop, so even though that was on Wednesday - we are sure they filmed the commercial in Austin and not in another city : )
Not much better I'm afraid.
Then on Friday we took the kids to the Karem Shriners Circus. Yeah, it was not Ringling Brothers, but we got discount tickets too. I was able to get more pictures but they were still pretty blurry. I took this one because Rebekah had waited in the line to ride the elephant (a very long line). Then found out it was $7 per 30 second ride. We had told the kids that they would have to use their own money for things because we had the Rockdale Fair this weekend. She wouldn't do it. So this is her consolation prize. A picture with the elephant, sort of.
The older boys enjoyed the show also. You'll notice the scantly clathed beauty on the elephant. All of the performers were dress as such. The boys could not understand why they did not have any circus animals, no elephants or dogs (which was all they had, but that is beside the point).
