Halloween

We spent Halloween this year with friends at Justin and Natalie Smith's house in Woodland. It was a fun time of handing out candy, BBQing in the rain, watching one of Justin's favorite movies (Monster Squad), and hanging out with good friends. Sam and I dressed up as caveman and cavewoman, respectively. Siena came as a cave-dwelling baby bear, but she didn't realize it. Here are some pictures...

Cave dwellers (Sam had spandex on, don't worry)... and don't look at me wrong or I'll have to use my club... or I'll sic our pet bear on you. :)

The hosts: Egg (Nat) and Bacon (Justin)

Carrie Undwerwood (Carie Brueckner) and random Chinese guy (Jeremy McChesney)...

Jenna (didn't need a costume because her dessert was so tasty) and "Sponge-Cob" Square Pants... without the pants.

Star (Jen Jarvis) made an appearance...

Katie Reece came armed with a calculator, taped-up glasses, and a very high IQ...

James Dean (Chuck) and Marilyn Monroe (Katelyn)...

Psalty the Singing Songbook (Hayden) and Halle came for a short while with the parental Ganyos. Halle was dressed up as something, but I'm not sure what she was, other than cuteness manifest.

The babies of the bunch (Matt Swarbrick and Casie Hall) came ready to spend the night, equipped with teddy bears, pacifiers, and women's pajamas (even Matt's!) from Walmart.

Enjoying the fruits of our hard-earned BBQ...

Here is a video of the night's festivities...

The next afternoon, we braved the horrible weather and watched (one half of) the WCHS football game. It was a sloppy affair and the field may never recover. We were very thankful for the dry, covered seats at the top of the bleachers...

Saturday night was fun - we went to BJs and JJ met us there, decked out in his cop-wear. Everyone at the restaurant probable thought we were busted until JJ sat down with us. :)

Nick Akl came over for breakfast on Sunday before church. He is up from L.A. and bought Siena a cute little pajama thingy that she will grow into...

Sam joined the fam at In N Out after church, while I played in a golf tournament with Chuck.

The Keefers (minus Kindall) came to our men's flag football game. It was Kevin's first time holding Siena, and Melissa also got lots of snuggle time. Cody was busy wishing he could play IMs... :)

Despite the crusty persona, Kevin is really a softy... here he is snuggling with Siena...

That's all for now. It was a great weekend! We are already looking forward to the next one! :)
