Happy Halloween!!!

Each year our church has a "Harvest Party" for Halloween. It's a fun time for the kids, and pretty enjoyable for the adults that come as well. Halloween was on Sunday this year, so the party was on Halloween. It was also warm enough to play outside!

Popcorn races: See which team can fill their empty bowl with popcorn fastest. But when one of the boys eats the popcorn, it can make it more challenging!

Now for crafts! They colored treat sacks, made a thankful wreath, and made an "ear" of indian corn.

Capture the pumpkin! 2 teams, each trying to find their own color on the bottom of the pumpkin

What a busy day this was! First, taking the kids to school and finding a substitute driver. Next Jamey and I had lunch with Morgan and Sue. :) Then we went to the high school to let Jamey run around before the volleyball game. After the volleyball game we went to the park with Morgan, Sue, Kathy, and Mom.

Our little girl is now a Teenager!

October 19, 2010 Tasha turned 13. It doesn't seem possible she's that old, but the proof stares me right between the eyes. She has been as tall as me for a while now, and she's actually starting to slowly pass me by.

Cutting her cake while her dad gives her a bad time about cutting crooked.

Susan and Morgan came back for her birthday and to watch her volleyball game


Present time!

Nattie (what Morgan and Susan call her) spelled in pictures

The ever present book!

Softball bat

The wallet she picked out

Plus more of course, but I'm too lazy to add them all here.

Volleyball

Some pictures from Tasha's first volleyball game at Brady. She's learning quite a lot and doing well!

Random pictures

Tasha being growly, it makes Jamey laugh!

Lexi and Jamey love the sandbox, but it all ends up in their hair and down Jamey's diaper

Riding his tractor

Don't Steal My Curls!!!

We gave Jamey a haircut on Monday (July 26) and he wasn't too happy about it. Mommy used the clippers, maybe that had something to do with it.

Getting ready to start

The pile of curls :(

One unhappy little boy

Not much hair left!

Morse-Smith Famiy Reunion

Every year my Grandma Esther's family has a reunion. This year was fairly special for us, because so many of Grandma's family were going to be attending. My sister Robin from Boston, cousin Josh (who had just moved to Oregon), Uncle Arnie from Arizona, all came "home" for the reunion.
