Trick or Treat time with the Johnstons

The irony is that I took all the pics--and will now have no proof I was there :-). These kids had a great time! We took the kids to BOOVILLE--the townhome complex haunted house, and then treated them all to hot chocolate after it was all over. This was a successfull Halloween! We celebrated the holiday 4 times over, making it a long-lasting blast! Good times.

Johnstons and MOORE!

Amber loves Halloween!

Amber wanted to be Annaleise from Princess and the Popper for Halloween this year. She truly looked like a princess. :-)

Lovin' Livin' by Family!

OK--so living close to Brent and Michelle has been AWESOME!! I don't know that I would ever want these kids to go without their cousins again! It's so fun to open my door and watch the kiddos run to the Johnston's open door--just across the way. This is the life! Granted, it would be nice to be living in a fancy-shmancy neighborhood, but livin' by family makes this move COMPLETELY worth it! I know we'll have lots of fun "popper" memories of our time in law-school. We're livin' the high life! The one thing we've found, though, is that we tend to swap sicknesses. So--we do go a few days here and there in seclusion--making sure to NOT share the love :-). All in all---this is the best way to live. So let it be written...so let it be done---ALWAYS!!

Ratatouille Movie Time

Brent, Michelle and their kiddos joined us for a Saturday OUT on the town! Ratatouille was a cute movie--a little long for Cody, but a clean, fun flick. It's all about cooking---which Hunter LOVES! It was like a full-blown animated movie of IRON CHEF! :-)

Playtime with Cody-boy

Hunter grabs at every opportunity to play with the little guy. Daddy is a blast to be with!!

Visiting Amber at School

Amber didn't realize we had arrived yet. We watched her climb all the way across the long monkey-bars--ALL BY HERSELF!! We were soooo proud of her! She is adventurous and willing to try everything. She has NO fear---which is scary for a parent, but I love her excitement for life.

Mariah, Daddy & Codster

Mariah has so many friends who play with her during recess time that it was tough to pull her away from the others, but we were able to snag a quick picture. Mariah is a social bug! She's fun to be with. Cody was thrilled to spend some time at the girl's school.

McCarter BBQ--October 10, 2007

Hunter and I enjoyed taking some time out of our school schedules to visit the girls at McCarter Elementary School for their yearly BBQ Fundraiser.

Handsome Cody-Boy!

This fun little guy lights up my every day. He got an invitation to a b-day party, and he hasn't wanted to let go of it (it's STILL in his hand!) He loves writing his ABC's and numbers now. He's trying to figure out how to manage his temper, but he's VERY happy when Blue's Clues is on!
