Sweet Baby

I wish I could hold you little Ben!

Little "Things"

A baby will be born today. His name will be Benjamin Grimm Rasmussen. You might be saying, "Wait a minute. That name sounds familiar," and some of you might not. But to any comic guru or fan out there, Benjamin Grimm is The Thing from The Fantastic 4.

Let's just hope he doesn't come out looking like that, but if he did, then it really would be fate.

Halloween Spooktacular

Some of our decorations that we have up.



Our church party last Friday is what started of the Halloween festivities. I wish I had actually taken more pictures of the decorations that Heather, Amy, and I labored over, especially the awesome moon "OOOO-ing" that I painted. We have a Trunk or Treat every year, with a traditional chili cook-off of four categories:Hot, Medium, Mild, and Veggie. We also had the pumpkin carving which I had to enter. Unfortunately only three people entered.

President Gordon B. Hinkley
I talked with the award giver, who lightheartedly was considering giving me a certificate for The-Most -Inappropriate-Way-to-Depict-a-Prophet category, but instead handed me The Most Exalted award.
We also have costume contests.The Best Couple went to the Hills-
for being Annie, Daddy Warbucks, and Punjab.

Tripp was Dopey, the seventh dwarf, but I didn't get a good picture of his outfit.
Erick on the other hand was a very good Thomas the Train engineer.
James was there too.
For Halloween yesterday, we put the little boy in a little pumpkin suit, he is so cute! I'm sure all the people giving out candy on the square knew exactly what was going to happen to his candy.
We went to a Halloween party that our friends put on for the second time. A huge 20-25 foot fire pit, which was so awesome. And Lynette did so great on the brain soup and other cakes and treats that were decorated so festively. They have a neat graveyard with fog that looked pretty creepy too and we hit all the houses on their street. Then we came home for our late movie night with my friend Beccah and her kids and Christine with my nieces and nephews. The kids watched Wallace and Gromit's Tale of the Were-Rabbit. We watched The Sixth Sence, such a good movie! With loads of candy left over and the 100 Most Scariest Moments on TV, I was the last to go to bed. I really had a great time!
