So since we no longer have little kids! Mark & I were feeling a little lonely on Halloween so we dressed up Lily & took her to the ward trunk or treat party. She looked awfully cute. She enjoyed visiting with all of the little ghost & goblins.
This post is for Kyle. He is a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas. Disneyland transforms the Haunted Mansion into the theme. It is amazing! So here you go Kyle we know you would love to have seen it in person but the pics will have to do. We wish that you & Jen could have come. ENJOY!
Mark had to go to Long Beach on business so of course Ashley & I as well as Jade, Charla & McKenna didn't want him to be lonely so we met him and took advantage of going to Disneyland. It was alot of fun the place decked out for Halloween & McKenna never took a smile off her face. I think it made the whole experience alot more fun.

Ok so I am hooked! Crazy since the series really was created for the teenage girl. I totally recommend them. I realized I am not the only 40 something reading this series while travelling over several days to 5 different reservation offices. Each flight and airport I was in people would strike up conversations about the storyline. I had to warn them that I was only in the third book and not to ruin the ending. Everyone wanted to tell me!
I think Mark & I are either just very gullable or we just have become completely insane. Ashley talked us into getting a designer dog for her birthday. What were we thinking! She leaves in a year to college and then oh my goodness we will be watching her full-time. Lily is a Malti-poo very very sweet and shouldn't be more then 5 lbs full grown but it is like having a 2 year old in the house again. Beethoven our 16 year old dog has become young again and loves the companionship of Lily.
Ashley & I were invited to go see the "Phantom of the Opera" with Kathy, Stephanie & Courtney. Let me start off by saying I jumped at the chance to spend anytime I could as mom & daughter with Ashley. We had a great time the musical was fabulous but the very best part was having time away with Ashley. She is an amazing girl and I will really miss her next year. I have no idea how Mark & I are going to make it with no one at home. Life will definitely be different. Thanks you guys for inviting us it was a blast!
