Congradulations to Dad!! He is the New Sheriff


Yahoo!!! Dad is going to be the new Sheriff in Lincoln County thanks to all the voters who voted on November 4. I am so excited for dad. It has been an interesting campaign and I am glad it is over. The weekend after we found out that dad won we had a party at the Shoshone bowling alley.

Dad, Mollie, Johanna, me, and Deacon. Johanna and Luke Sutter.
Mom was so cute with the grand kids. They had their own lane to bowl on together with bumpers and everything.
Mollie kept stealing my ball, grrr. Well I guess I could have been stealing her ball :)
Here is our little family, Berny was dads campaign manager. He was glad when it was all over so that he could actually have some free time.
This is Heath, Preston, and Joshua. Heath is trying very hard to figure out how that old music box work and Preston and Joshua are fighting over who get to play with the game.


This is Chalice Eggelson her little boy Charlie, Stephanie and Joseph.

These are pictures from the dance party that me and the kids had once Heath got the jukebox working.

Welcome to the Family Adaline!

David and Julianne have had their little baby girl. Her name is Adaline Ellis, and she is so beautiful. Julianne delivered her baby at a birthing center in Jerome owned by Connie Willcot. She is the mid-wife that delivered Whitney. This picture was taken on the day that she was born. I went to the birthing center to see the new baby and was not able to because while I was in the waiting room Whitney started puking. It turned out that she had the stomach flu so I left before I got to see the baby, but David took this picture with my camera. Congratulations David and Julianne.

Halloween Fun!!!

Here are Lots of fun pictures of all of the Halloween activities that we did. We were really busy this year.
The Halloween Carnival
The Carnival was super fun, good job too all of you guys that help put it on. It was a to school and Berny and I helped with some of the booths. Here is Whitney, Lili, and cute Casie Ray.
Whitney and I dressed up as Little miss muffet and she was the spider.
Trick of Treat with our Library Children's Book Club
This was really fun. We have been going to a special reading time on Tuesday's at the Shoshone Library, at 10:15 am. Anyone who has little kids still at home should really come. We read stories and sing songs. But best of all we get treats :) Whitney loves it. For Halloween all of the kids dressed up and we took them Trick or Treating to some of the local businesses. It was a really nice and sunny day and the kids loved it.
These are some of the cute costumes that the kids wore. We had princesses, Tigers, and lots of spiders.
The spider must have been the hottest selling item at Wal-mart because we had three of them and they were all so cute. To bad I couldn't get them to look at me for the picture.
I think that Mador Tomador won the contest though he was so cute. Way to go Mijken!!
I think our little bunny got tired, Trick or Treating can really ware you out.
Mijken and I had a stroller party. It will be fun next year when Whitney can walk.

Halloween Baking Party at Tasha's House
On Halloween day Tasha, Jessica, and I spent the day making yummy goodies for the 6th grade bake sale. It was an adventure! But baking on Halloween has always seemed to be a tradition in my family. Every Halloween mom spends the day making donuts to give to the Trick or Treaters. It has become something that people expect when they go to mom house, that along with candy they will get a donut. I even had people coming to my door this year asking me where they could find the donuts. I love my mom!! But anyway that is what me and my buddies did Halloween day. We made pumpkin rolls and suckers.

I will label this picture "super mom". Not only is Tasha pregnant, but she is holding her son on her hip entertaining her daughter and making suckers all at the same time. Tasha you never cease to amaze me.
Now here is one heck of a catch. Not only is she beautiful but she can make some incredible pumpkin rolls. ymmm! This is my sista Jessica and yes she is taken, but that Chancey is one lucky fella :)
This is Jessica's son Colton. He was a big help to me. Our job was to put the powdered sugar on the rolls.

Halloween Night!!! Trick or Treat!!!
For Halloween night we invited Bernave and Debbie, Berny's parents, over for dinner and then we watch a scary movie, Santa Clause 3, that Jack frost character gave me the willies :) hehe! But I love giving candy out to all the kids and seeing the cute costumes.

Here is Whitney again in her spider outfit with the pumpkins that we got from the pumpkin patch.

Whitney and I are making 0ur scary faces. Boo!!!

Another cute Whitney picture.

Whitney and Grandma Debbie

Whitney and Grandpa Marquez. Grandma and Grandpa took Whitney Trick or Treating to great Grandma Maxine's house.

Trick of Treat Costume Contest!
These are some of the Trick or Treaters that came to my door. I am going to do a little costume contest so I want everyone to place a vote on who they think won the Trick or Treat costume contest. Here are the contestants.

The Newey family Mermaid, Cheerleader, and crazy mom :)

The Buckner girls, and little Lilli, red is rad!

Sam and Bree, can't beat the pick hair and Fancy glasses :)

James, Levi, and Edward. I'm not sure but I think they were dressed as goofy teenage boys with gift bags. I love these guys!

The Fackeral Indian Clan They all matched :)

Janine, the wicked witch with a big head and her adorable daughter. She actually scared Whitney. Janine had to take off her mask so that Whitney would stop crying :) hehe!

Batman Matthew, He actually made this outfit on his own.Uncle Heath should be really proud :)

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Here we are at the pumpkin patch in Jerome. Mollie came down with her new baby and we had so much fun. Her and I left Richfield to go to Jerome and on the way she was telling me how she has had a hard time remembering thing since she had Zoe, and we were laughing at some of her story of what she had forgotten when we realized that we had taken a wrong turn. When we were in Shoshone we turned to go to Gooding instead of going on to Jerome. By the time Mollie realized what she had done we were right outside of Gooding. We Laughed so hard, I don't know who had magnesia worse Mollie for making the wrong turn or me for not even realizing that she had made the wrong turn. Your guess is as good as mine. But anyway, because of our little detour we got there quite late. hehe! but as you can see we made it.
Joseph, Joshua, Gracie, Preston, Zoe, and Whitney. It was like pulling teeth to get this picture.
Preston and Gracie are very good friends. They hung out with each other all day. The funny thing is when Mollie saw Preston and Gracie holding hands she said "I just got a glimpse of what it will be like when Preston had a girlfriend, and I don't think I like it. He looks like such a big boy in that coat." I thought that was so funny.

Joshua was such a good boy and he was really excited about the pumpkins Here are the pumpkins and the kids.

Jose loves his big pumpkin.

Julianne and Gracie picking out their pumpkins. Julianne was amazing I think she had her baby a few days after this.

Whitney and her pumpkins


I guess they both wanted the same pumpkin.


I liked this pumpkin but we didn't get it because it was too green.

Joshua told his mom that he wanted a BIG pumpkin but he chose a little one.

Whitney did not enjoy the wind.

Steph and her boys are hunting.

Preston, Mollie, and Zoe (in the moby) are finding there find.
Here is my bum, yes I do work out. hehe! I was pushing the wagon.
We are telling Mollie that she is looking very well endowed, with Zoe all curled up in there. I think she thought it was funny, or not :)
Off we go in the wagon.
Cute kids!

What a fun day
