Halloween....

...is not CUTE anymore....

Darian and Jordyn were not the usual cutesie characters for Halloween. Last year we had a Miss America and a Ballerina Princess Fairy. This year....

Zombie Girl and Goth Punk! Enjoy....
Jordyn and Darian hamming it up!

Jordyn wanted to be a "corpse". I started to call her a zombie because it just sounded better...

Darian rockin' the sock gloves! OK, so the kids really are doing this these days and so I got her some socks with skulls...cut out some finger holes, and she became a whole different person...can you say "ATTITUDE"????

More sisterly love before the candy carnage begins!!!

The girls got a LOT of candy - it was fun and the girls loved being "spooky" for a day!

Big People in Winthrop

Me and Murray enjoyed our first trip to Winthrop - here's some pics of us having a great time!

Me and Murray - I think he likes me.... We played miniature golf and this pic was taken on the course.

Me and an old coal miner!

AMEN to that!!!

Murray, Petey and Patchie at the river right by our campground - Patchie loved splashing around in the water - Petey...not so much.

Murray and the girls and yet another local landmark

Winthrop, WA Trip

We went to Winthrop, an old timey Western Town in the Cascades. It was a really neat town and we had a lot of fun! Here's some pictures of the girls having a rootin' tootin' time!

There were all these wooden people in Winthrop - we took lots of pictures with them.


Jordyn running the stage coach at the campground.


The girls with another old timey statue.

The girls trying out some saddles.

Uh oh, I see trouble in our future!

Jordyn's a Butterfly

Jordyn came downstairs one day and told me she was a butterfly... She put this little number together all by herself - yes, that is a wire garbage can on her head....

This kid keeps cracking us up!

Tish's Birthday

Murray took me to dinner and to the top of the Space Needle for my birthday - we've been in Washington for over 7 years and had never been up on the Space Needle - it was cold but very nice. I enjoyed my birthday trip!

Me and Murray in the elevator that takes you to the top!

Murray was trying to find the car....ha ha

The view of the city from the top of the Space Needle - beautiful!

Showdown USA

I surprised Murray with a trip to the Tacoma Dome - he knew nothing until we got there - I'm getting good at surprises! Anyhoo - I bought us both tickets to "Showdown USA" - a drag racin', motorcyclin', drifting, tricked out car show that is cool enough to keep Murray's attention and goofy enough to keep mine! I didn't get many pics but here are a couple:

Murray had chiklets....

Some cool motorcycle stunt riding...the videos are better...
