Jorrin's 2nd Gekathon

Jorrin wanted to do the Gekathon (mini triathon) again this year.
Only this year she didn't have time to train and she had the flu 2 days before. But she finished it and we are sooo proud of her!

Swimming one of 12 lengths of the pool.

Riding her bike on the 3 mile route to the school

Running the last lap of her 2 mile run.

Receiving her award for particpating.

Jorrin and Jaicelyn sing at the Annual Lin's Holiday Open House

They both did a good job. Way to sing girls.

Jaicelyn sang a solo that she had to try out for and did a great job!

November updates

Jantzyn was STAR OF THE WEEK!



She had fun decorating her poster and picking out her favorite toy for the class to guess.

The girls met their newest cousin Jenna. We had to set the timer for each of them to take turns holding her.

Here are a few of our Halloween Happenings this year.

Jantzyn really wanted to carve her pumkin (everyone helped). Didn't it turn out cute!

Jantzyn wanted a picture in her Halloween shirt by our scary cat.

Jantzyn as cute Dorothy with her Todo.

Jaicelyn wanted to be a cat but when my friend at work said she could make a cute Cheetah costume Jaice was all for it (thanks Mandi!). Isn't she the cutest cheetah ever!

Jorrin decided at the last minute to dress up and went as a 80's workout girl. Work it, Work it!






Terry was the scariest thing of all, a Utah fan in a household/neighborhood of BYU fans.

The girls trick or treating at Grandma and Grandpa Cowley's

Family Halloween Party

This year Grandma Losee decided to have a halloween party. We ate dinner the kids went trick or treating, we played games and watched a performance of Thriller the kids made up. It was a very fun Halloween. Thanks Grandma!
Trick or Treating at Grandma and Grandpa's "House"

The Kids trick or treating at my "House" I was excited since they were the only kids we got all night (we left our house before anyone came).

Jantzyn and Gentry both were Dorothy this year.

The kids eating yummy pumkin pie. They always seem to make their own fun no matter what or where we are.

Jorrin's 13th Halloween B-day Party

First of all it was the BYU/TCU game so needless to say this is what the men did the whole party...well until BYU got way behind then they came out to see what was going on.

Now on to the reason for the blog. Jorrin wanted to invite 20 people to a party this year so I knew it would have to be somewhere and doing something I could afford with that many, so I called Grandma Losee and started planning.

We had a dinner where the names of the foods the kids ate were hard to figure out.

They had either whitches bloody or pus filled (I hope that's better RobYn) brains. AKA marinara or alfredo sauce on noodles.

Frankie finger -bread sticks

Monster skin flakes-salad

Goblin Goo-jello

Graveyard Dirt -an ice cream dessert.

THe kids picked the order they wanted to eat and it was fun to see the order that came to them!

What's a dinner without a food fight!

The kids on their Scary Scavenger Hunt.

Preforming the skits they made up with the stuff from the scavenger hunt!

Jorrin Opening Presents.

They also played games in the dark and listened to music and just had fun!

My Little Monster

A little Monster has been practicing writing her name. This last week she decided to move from creating on paper to other canvises such as ....











Kitchen chairs!

And she was smart about it she tried to write her sisters name also as to throw off our suspicions. But we were too smart and figured it out. Needless to say her creativity has been thrwarted. She will be going back to only paper creations.
