travel update

Just a travel update. Peter left early this morning and was staying the night a few miles past Boise. He says everything has gone well and the truck is working great.

humm

okay, so we have many more pictures to share, but for some reason I cannot post any more pictures. so, you might have to wait a few days until I can get around to posting again. . . sorry

what we've been up to

I realize that it has been a while since we last posted any thing, so I have a lot to say. Okay, not really, but here are some great pictures to share.

We had a great time in Washington . ONe day we all went to the zoo. We were all looking at the elephant. They had some cool animals there and the zoo keepers had a story to tell about each one. Wesley enjoyed seeing Grandpa Corier's truck. Typical boy, he loves anything with wheels.

At the Corier reunion we had a great time and we all shared a bed. (Welsey, Sam, and Mom-aka ME) One morning I awoke to find Wesley snuggled up to Sam. I could not resist taking a picture.

As Sam gets older he is beginning to really think about things like, "why am I sitting here."

Grandpa Hall passed away in July. We were really sad about that because Grandpa was a good friend to us while we were in Provo. We all went to his funeral in Provo and had a nice time reconnecting with a lot of family and friends. Sam had fun playing with cousin Nataile.

Trick or Trunk

I always put these pictures in the wrong order.  But these are the pictures from the last few days, Most of them are from our ward halloween party and trick or trunk.  Here Violet is hanging out with her Uncle John John and Trigger, who was a Mail Mutt for halloween.  Violet has chocolate all over her face.

Violet got a chance to just run around the parking lot and laugh,  she had so much fun, and came away with quite a haul of candy.

Violet really likes balloons, she chased this one around for the better part of an hour.

Violet played ghost bowling and knocked one down!  She won a bat ring!

Here we are all ready for the party.  I went as a tired mom...no costume required!

Here is Violet strutting down the hallway.  We use the hall as a catwalk when we dress up fancy!

Violet likes to run at the camera and make funny faces,  we end up with some really funny pictures this way.

Violet wasn't so sure about the wings when we first put them on.

Violet played with the pumpkin ball while I carved her first pumpkin.  We'll take a picture of her with her pumpkin on the real halloween.

With all the packing and Moving things around (we are moving to Houston)  Violet's old car seat came out of storage, she immediately climbed right in and kicked back to watch a show.  What a funny kid!

Trick or Trunk

on the River

You can probably tell from these pictures that my camera died today.   So enjoy these Semi-good pictures they may be the last for a while.  I did enjoy taking my camera apart and seeing how it works as I was attempting to fix the problem.  I guess that's what I get for buying a clearance camera at Wal-mart :)  

These pictures from Labor Day, we went to Tumwater Historical park and went for a canoe ride.  It was a beautiful day.

Here is a picture of Violet Pouting, she doesn't like to wear her life jacket....too bad so sad

Here is us with Grandpa David, off to see the waterfall

I've never taken the canoe up this river, even though I've lived here for 25 years.  it was such a beautiful day.

This is my attempt to take a picture of Peter without tipping us over.  We almost fell in a few times though.  It's been a while since we've been canoeing and we've never gone together.   If anyone wants to test their communication with their spouse I suggest canoeing up to a waterfall and trying to take beautiful pictures at the same time. :) ha ha ha....it was a fun trip.

One Fine Day

Here is a great picture of Violet all ready for church.  We were testing out some new shoes, she needs to wear tights with these ones for now.

Violet walking to Church with her Dad.  She walked right out of her shoe and kept going...very determined to get to church.

The kids were a little tired, but we decided to get a picture of our little Seahawk fans!

Violet and Sam with G&G Corier

We'll get Wesley next time...it's time for bed.
