Sniper Wins Costume Contest

Happy Haunting

It was a Haunting Night at Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow tonight! The annual Halloween party was a LOT of fun!

 

Ryan won the costume contest for the 12-18 year olds

wearing Ty's sniper outfit.

We had fun posing with the mummies! I was a

bloody mess school girl zombie and Vicki wore my

Apple Witch costume.

The Dude In Cammies was a Disgruntled 1st Sgt 

Zombie chick attacking the unsuspecting Marine

Silly dillies.....

Ty made it for the last part after football practice. He had fun in the back in the bar area
watching the football game. We joined him after they announced Ryan as the winner.

Sometimes things don't end well......but apparently we all grew.....

Tired Sniper

While waiting for the judges to announce the winners of the costume contest Ryan was getting tired...

 

He would periodically look up at me and sometimes

even take a candy or a piece of bubble gum!

You can't see his eyes in this picture but I could.....

Mug Shots

Everyone should have atleast one mug shot! I'm not sure if the height

is accurate though.........

When Will He Come Home?

Jasper waiting for The Dude In Cammies to get home.....every car that comes by he jumps up and looks out the window!

Ginger Mummies

Ed wanted to make Halloween cookies so he was in charge of activity and dessert for Family Home Evening tonight. We had fun decorating our gingerbread men. I think he was the only one that LIKED eating them though! So the rest of us had ice cream sundaes!!!!

Ty has the crazy after football practice shower going on!

Bella wanted to see what we were doing!

Ryan's Root Beer Party Keg

Anyone who KNOWS Ryan knows that he LOVES root beer! Root beer and cheeseburgers are his two favorite foods. Soooo, when Uncle Rick said he had a Keg of Root Beer that needed to be finished before we left Ryan's eyes got SUPER big and he had a grin to match those eyes! He and Ed got busy getting it opened up and everyone had fun drinking root beer! Of course Ryan had the first glass to give us his review and he said it was awesome!  And for some reason while Ed and Ryan were getting the can ready to open Ed picks up the keg and shakes it. I asked, "Ed, why are you shaking a giant can of soda?" He looked at me with that grin he has and said, "I don't know....I don't know why I do lots of things...." We all started laughing. Ryan did LOTS of tapping on the top of the giant can of root beer!!!!! Ed took the keg and held it over his sisters head and pretended to open it. Brothers and sisters never stop tormenting each other!!!! But the root beer was REALLY good!!!! I think there might be a keg of root beer under the Christmas tree!!!   

A Corn Maze In Encino

We found a great corn maze nice and close in Encino right by where Nolan plays baseball. It was totally fun and we had a great time and FINALLY found our way out!!!

 

Visiting Family

We thought today would be a perfect Fall day to find a corn maze so we decided to head out to LA and see if Nolan wanted to join us.  Wendy was still not feeling to great from the shot she had yesterday but Nolan and Rick thought that sounded fun. Ed and the kids were being silly while I was on the computer looking up corn mazes nearby. 

Vicki Loves Noel's Toys

Vicki wants this toy! Me too!!!! Maybe for
Christmas!!!

My Water Cup Breakdown

A Sweet Ride

The Old Lady Roll Over

The first part of Jane Wayne day was heading over to the O Course. It was just recently put in so it is brand new. I swear this thing gets bigger every year! Either I am shrinking or they are making these logs higher up in the air!!! Ha! I did the old lady roll over. I remember when I used to be able to literally fly over these logs, not any more!!!! Vicki did great though!

I'm wondering when the day will come when I can't

even get over the log?!! Hopefully The Dude In

Cammies retires before that day so I never know

that it happened!!!!

Yep.......I will just stick with the old lady roll over.....

I Love Ford

I just adore Ford.....I love all the horses but Ford is my VERY favorite. I make sure to spend time with each of the horses, they all get chit chats and loves but Ford is just my sweetheart. I totally love his bangs! He lets me braid them,  swoop them to the sides, part them down the middle and tuck behind his ears, pretty much whatever I want to do. He is always nuzzling on me and will chew on my arm but never use his teeth to bite me. When I go out to the pasture he will come to me and when I leave he follows me and wants to go with me out the gate! He hasn't been trained yet, so he is never gone so I get to see him all the time! he is one of the youngest ones there, so he should be there for a pretty long time.

 

He loves to nuzzle me and itch his nose on me!!! 

He thinks I am his personal chin rest!

Running Rookie

Ed took Rookie out today for some work. Rookie wanted to run! They had a fun afternoon running after the ground work was done. I love watching Ed with the horses. He has developed a bond with several of them and so he is able to ride different horses for different occasions since they all seem to have their little quirks. Rookie is getting old and had started acting up and so he was basically just kinda put on break for about 6 weeks. Ed pulled him out and started working with him a few weeks ago and he is doing great again. Ed used him for the Barstow Rodeo and he did fabulous. I think he is ready to hit the road again. I think Rookie will go up for auction in another year or so.....I hope he goes to a nice owner, he's an awesome horse. 

Watching Trojan Football

Ty had a home game tonight! Yay!!! His team won and he played awesome! These were some of our funny faces.....

Easy Pumpkin Muffins!

Yes, it is really this easy! And delicious!
