Halloween 2009

Here's what the Petty Family Looked like for Halloween this Year!

NQ the Pirate and Momma the Hippie supporting the theme of "Free Love" with a peace sign on her unborn child.

Daddy the greaser all slicked up and slicked back with a deck of cards rolled up in his sleeve along with his pirate son.

We hit the main street trick or treating 1st for about an hour, then we attended the ward party for probably less than 30 minutes. The kids had a blast. We went with Olivia (princess Leia), Amy (scary witch) and Travis (World Champion Boxer.) I will have to steal pictures from them later! I love this age...just over an hour was enough for EVERYONE!!

The FUN Stuff!

Here we are, Photo's of the fun things that have happened in the not so distant past:

The Ward Chili Party

Please note the craftsmanship of this poster: dried bean boarder, exquisite poster board and adorable conceptual 'barbed' cut out of the wording. Best ward poster ever. This is the same party that was decorated with Brooke's clogging outfits, and the same party in which I won the "Hottest Chili" award.

The FLY IN

If you squint really hard, in that trailer behind the white plane, my husband is flipping pancakes. Can't see him? Take my word for it. He is an excellent pancake maker.

Olivia enjoyed the fly in near the runway in the dirt. She had lots of fun putting dirt EVERYWHERE on her self. Which of the Peanuts Gang does she look like?? Yes, when she walked there were puffs of dirt flying everywhere.

Nathan enjoyed the fly in by petting dogs, looking at planes and then by being strolled by me or by Olivia. I would have to say he was pretty relaxed much of the time.

The High School Rodeo

Same day as the Fly-In. This is the time when our backyard looks like a horsey hotel. This pic is taken from the front porch. And we wonder why it is we have so many flies in the house now.

The POLO GAME



Out of sequence, we went to the polo game earlier in the month. This is in Sheridan when Nathan and I went to visit Brooke over labor day. Very busy time to be in Sheridan. And a very hot time in Sheridan, I nearly melted. There are rodeo's, picnic's and plenty of other events going on. But be aware that the Trolley has stopped running by then. You CAN still get ice cream at the park, at least until it runs out. Oh, and all of the stores are closed...just so you know.

The Pirate Costume

Most recently: Nathan has decided to be a pirate for Halloween. And a darn good one he makes! With passion he yells out the pirate ARRRHHGG! And will let you know in a most determined voice that the 'Scurvy Pirate' must WALK THE PLANK! I'm excited by the make-up options of this costume. And happy that he likes both the rag hat AND eye patch.
