A WALK ON THE BADO SIDE......

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Yesterday was Halloween and we had a lot of fun. The ghouls loved dressing up in their costumes. Averrey was a Gothic Scorceress and Daicia was a Butterfly Princess. They must have been a little excited cause they woke up really early! I got Averrey ready for school in her costume. She looked awesome! They didn't have a parade at her school so I didn't get to see her and her friends all dressed up. They had a carnival instead. She had fun though. Daicia decided to wear her costume all day....she picked her shoes and wasn't about to change them so make sure you look! They were just fabulous with her pretty costume. We went to my mom's for chili and met everyone else and went trick or treating around their neighborhood. Aleena was a Flapper Girl, Spencer was Venom, JT was Bumble Bee (off of transformers, Ryan was a witch and Austin was....well I'm not sure! All the kids were full of energy running to every house. They got lots of candy! And then of course the "BIG" kids wanted to go by themselves so they went on their own and we took the babies to a few more houses. It was fun to see the little ones have so much fun trick or treating!

Hope Everyone had a wonderful Halloween!

CARVIN PUMPKINS

We carved our pumpkins the other day. We had lots of fun watching the girls be grossed out at pulling the seeds and goo out! Daicia didn't enjoy that so much! She probably stuck her hand in twice to pull stuff out but that was it. Then she spent the rest of the time playing with the scooper in the seeds and goo we pulled out! Averrey did really good this year. I think this is the first time she has actually gotten her hands in it. She designed the face of her pumpkin and Tyson carved it with a little help from her. Tyson carved his own today all by himself and made it really awesome (looks like Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas) Averrey's is the one with the vampire teeth and Daicia and mine is the other one.

THE GREAT PUMPKIN PATCH

We had to ride one more time before it gets too cold. So we went to the sand dunes a couple of weekends ago. We had a great time. My whole family was there except Teresa and Tyson's brother Ray came. Don't worry I didn't ride! It was hard but I didn't! My dad had a blast riding on the Dunes. I think we have him convinced to get a 4 wheeler now! :) Here are some pictures of our trip. (There isn't too many of riding cause Tyson didn't do his job while they were riding)

The Witches at Gardners Village

Angela and I took our kids to Gardners Village to see the Witches! It was alot of fun. I went on line and they had A Witch Hunt that you could print out and as you were walking through you could find all the different withces. The kids has a blast looking for all the witches and then at the end they got a cookie for 25 cents for finding them all. We had lots of fun!

Happy 60th Birthday!

October 1st was my mom's 60th Birthday! Of course she go to celebrate her birthday in Hawaii the week before and flew home on her birthday. We took her out to dinner at the Pizza Factory for her birthday on Saturday, October 4. It was awesome, we actually had all of us there. Which usually never happens. My Grandpa and Grandma Colton came too. It was a lot of fun. After we went to My mom's house and had cake and icecream. Here are some pictures of her birthday!

THE POLICEMAN

The Policeman stood and faced God, which always must come to pass. He Hoped his shoes were shining. Just brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoudlers and said, "No, Lord I guess I ain't, because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was rough, and sometimes I've been violent, because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny, that wasn't mine to keep, I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just got to steep.
And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here, They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had to much, but if you don't I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne where the saints had often trod. As the policeman waited quielty, for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman, you've borne your burdens well. Come walk the beat on Heaven's streets, youv'e done your time in hell."
