Wow, I'm a blogger!!

OK, so Darci is helping me make a blog site. I doubt that she can teach me how to post these things on my own in the short time she is here visiting but I will give it a try. I won't be posting every other day like the young ones do because if I did it would say this is Joe and I taking a nap, this is Joe and I eating and be real boring but maybe once a month or so I can muster up some new pictures. I am willing to give it a whirl so here goes!! I am starting with the best picture I could find of me. Well, at least Joe looks good. E-mail me if you want to know my beauty secrets! I will gladly share them at no cost! At Halloween we went to Lori's school (she teaches 2nd grade) Harvest Festival and helped her at her two booths. I was actually scaring the kids away from the booths and Lori asked me to go away but it got better as they got used to me. Some of them would just drop thier tickets on the grass rather than have to hand them to me. It was funny. We made a bean bag toss booth that was actually the most popular of the two. The other was a spider toss that Lori used last year but she wanted to earn more money for her class and so we did the haunted house bean bag toss. She cleared $420.00 so she did well.

Then Joe and I decorated our truck for Trunk or Treat this year. It is the first time we have attempted to do it and probably the last. It was very time consuming but turned out really good and I had fun. I think a lot more than Joe did! He did all the lighting things and I did the decorating. We actually took 1st place out of the 4 wards involved and we won a $50.00 gift card to a reataurant on the strip which we need to use. These pictures don't do it justice as the black light, strobe lights and other lighting can't be seen plus all the sound effects that we had also.

Connie, you look Hot, it's been forever since I've seen pictures of you guys. Maybe you can talk Lori into starting a blog, then we can hear from her too!!
