Hero's

When Shawn went to work on Tuesday there was an e-mail saying he needed to attend a dinner/award banquet where he and his co-workers would be honored their heroism. (they were being honored for helping a family that hit black ice and rolled their rig right out side of Elko last December) So he text me and said don't make any plans for Friday night. He had plans for us to attend this dinner sponsored by the American Red Cross. (we are not sure who nominated the guys but they where honored to be apart of this)

When we walked into the room this is what we where greeted with!

these were the 6 guys that helped save the family of 5 and their 9 dogs that early December morning. Congratulations guys! You all did a great thing that morning. That family was so grateful for you guys and our community is so proud of you too.

everyone received a plaque with their name engraved on it and 2 certificates signed by the Governor of the state of Nevada honoring their heroism.

Red Lion catered all of the food and it was delicious.

(sorry i only remembered to take a picture of the desert. well that's the best part of the meal anyway right!!)
and this is just a picture of the two of us.

Thanks Shawn for letting me be your date. I really enjoyed being able to share this wonderful honor with you and I enjoyed being able to see and socialize with those you work with. You are truly a hero to me and the boys. Thanks for all you do for us.

WE LOVE YOU LOTS!!

our halloween night

The boys had a great night trick-or-treating last night! Of course they made out like bandits with lots of candy!! both boys together

Koda was Batman

Bry was the Grim-Reaper

all three of my boys at trick-or-treet street.

We had a great Halloween this year! (if the boys decide to trick-or-treat next year we are all thinking of dressing up as a themed family. not sure what theme but we will figure it out)

Its so sad that October is already over. Wow time is a flyin'

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO EVERYONE!!

We hope everyone has a fun and safe night!

~A Halloween Package~

This little fun Halloween package showed up at our house a few days ago!! (its so much fun to get goodies in the mail) Thanks Grams and Grandpa Roger for sending us this bucket full of goodies. Our whole family really enjoyed all of it!!

the bucket was full of mini eyeball gums, popcorn balls, chex-mix, different kinds of yummy homemade cookies and all of it was covered in a cob-webs with a large spider topping it off!

caught you sneaking some treats dad!!

even our dad got to taste some of the treats

(not much though cause we have some growing boys in our house and they seem to eat everything real fast)

and there's Bry taking all of the gum eyeballs off of the top of the package!

and one of him opening his very own little package

and another one of him eating some "bugger" candies

(he said they were pretty gross)

THANKS GRAMS FOR THE FUN GOODIES FOR HALLOWEEN!!

(sorry no pictures of Koda cause he would not let us take any. he was feeling a little grumpy that day)
