Pretty Colors

Its been a about a week since I have posted anything new so I thought that I would do a little post. Not much has really happened in our family other than I have been sick for little. I even lost my voice for the first time. It wasn't fun. But thats not what this post about.... Navie has really taken to coloring : ). Tonight she decided our walls needed a little color! It wasn't fun cleaning it off since our walls are flat paint. But with a little soap and water and some elbow grease I was able to get it all off :)

Trunk or Treat

Every year our ward does a really nice Trunk or Treat activity for Halloween. For those who don't know what it is, its a ward activity where people can decorate their trunks for Halloween and meet in the church's parking lot. Little kids come around to each car to get candy. Well, this year was our first year and we kept our theme a secret. Now that we have done it, here is our theme..... Ghostbusters!!!! It was so much fun!!! Of course we won best costume, and best trunk!! Here are some pictures from tonight!

My little Slimer!!

Here we are. Cris was a Ghostbuster, I was Janine (the secretary), and of course Navie was Slimer. It was really windy out so my wig is blowing around in this picture : )

Here is our trunk. The sign on top of the car is actually lit but you can't tell because its was still light out when I took the picture.

This is the Mobile Ghost Containment Unit. Inside we had ghosts hanging from the ceiling and a fog machine : )

Cris with his machine!!

Here is the what his pack looked like. It had working lights, played the Ghostbusters theme song, and everything! He worked really hard making it and it shows!!! And did I mentioned he made it himself : ).

Here is the view you got when you looked through the view finder on the machine. I made and painted all the ghosts so they would glow under the black light that we had attached to the ceiling.

This is a video of our trunk while it was still light out. It looked the best in the dark but I knew my camera wouldn't be able to pick anything up.

Here is a video of Cris' pack all lit up. Sorry its sideways. I forgot that my camera wouldn't flip it : ).

And here are our prizes. The orange candies with the bobble heads on them were for the best trunk and the Toy Story candy is for best costume. I know they aren't much but we worked hard for them and are very proud. It was neat when they announced the winners because everyone knew that we won. It was nice to have everyone clap and cheer for us. It made it all worth it : ) Now to start planning for next year.......

talking on the phone

Here are two new videos of Navie that I took today. The first is a video of her playing with her pink ball and sporting her new fancy foot wear (not really, its just coupons that came in mail. She gets into everything!)

The second is Navie talking on my new cell phone. Its nice because I can actually lock the keypad and she can't make any calls : ) Sorry that its from behind but it was the only way I could catch her talking on the phone. I couldn't let her know I was watching : ).
