Rock-N-Roll

The other night, we had our ward Halloween party. The kids dressed up as Elvis, and a fifties girl, or "Elvis' girlfriend" (as Carson thinks.) Carson was singing, "Ain't Nothin' but a houndog" all day, and everyone who gave him a piece of candy for the trunk-or-treat he would say, "Thank-you. Thank you very much."

Here is Kenzie in her little sponge curlers getting ready to get dressed up. The first time we did the curlers, it was WAY TOO TIGHT, and she had a pretty funny hairdo, but this time, we kind of got it right. It looked pretty cute. (Even though it's hard to tell in the pictures.)

Now....if you are wondering what James and I are dressed up as, you probably won't get it, unless you are in our ward. We are dressed up as the Barelas. (A family in our ward that has eight kids. ) Tanya, always teases me about ending up like them if we keep having kids at this rate. It was kind of a double meaning, since I AM pregnant again. This is how we told the ward. However, I'm not THIS pregnant, but actually fooled a few people. Tony Barela is a hispanic guy, and use to be our Bishop. The whole ward has alway joked around with him about being mexican. He's a great sport. So.... we played it up with James.....hence the sombrero and maracas. The signs say, "Tanya Barela....15 years earlier." Tony Barela....15 years earlier." The next day at Church, Tony kept calling me sweetheart. It was pretty funny.

So, I guess I've kind of slacked with the blogging lately. I have actually been checking all of yours, but not had much time to comment. Sorry. I've been feeling really crappy lately, and I'll use that as my number one excuse. My second excuse is I've been really busy too. I'm pretty stressed with Young Women's in Excellence which is in one week, and also a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser that I'm in charge of putting on for the ward 2 days after YW in Exc! Ahhh.. I don't even feel like I have the energy to do my own laundry. I'm so blasted tired all the time! How am I ever going to pull it all off? Delegate? Good thinkin'!

Anyway, not much exciting has really been going on. Carson did have his first sleepover with his little friend, Brooklynn, the other night. I'll post pictures later. He slept over at her house, and had a blast. He didn't go to sleep until 11:00pm, and was a little hyper, (from what I'm told), but what do you expect? He actually did pretty well for the most part. Cute little guy is growing up too fast!
