It was parent day at Kayla's school on Halloween and we had an awesome time. The kids did a parade when we got here and then we had different projects to do. One table made Monster Munch that went along with a story, the next table had a pumpkin poem read to them and then they got to color it, then they colored leafs with corn syrup and food coloring, another was bingo with m&m's and then decorated cookies. Afterwards we learned the Monster Mash! I love Kindergarten, I wish I could be there everyday, it is so much fun!

Class Picture...check out the bug on the left, that was an awesome costume!

Mrs. Montgomery reads this story every year and it is to a tape that has music. It was the cutest story I had ever heard! I need to get a copy of that.

Taking Minnie to her preschool class...She was so excited to get there I couldn't get in front of her. I wasn't able to go to her class though, I can't wait till she is in Kindergarten so I can be!

More Halloween festivites...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Introducing Minnie Mouse and Hannah Montana
We had such a good time trick or treating. We went to our ward's trunk or treating and then went to our friends neighborhood. The girls ran from house to house, literally! I had a hard time keeping up. We got to one house that had all kinds of creepy things, a little cemetary, flying bats, mummy's, frankenstein, witches etc. There was music and lights and it was great. Well the girls were tip toeing up to the door and I kept saying it is okay, I'm right behind you and so they did, they got their treat and then we started back down the driveway. Ellie kept looking back as she was walking and got to the sidewalk as if it was a safe place to say something and turned and pointed at the house and said in a timid quiet voice "that house is stupid". Oh poor thing, but I chuckled at how she said it. We just had a great night.

I just thought this was hilarious...The guy was wearing all blue and in his trunk was a byu blanket with a beat up Utes guy on the floor and the sign says "Butcher Shop". How funny right?

These pics are backwards..I always forget which way to put them?? Anyway we have a ton of leaves every day. We are constantly raking. On Sunday we were doing this again and the girls were helping me. Kayla calls it craking. It is funny to hear her say it. Kayla wanted her doggy to be involved and so she scooped up a pile and took a picture of her dog. The girls were so funny as we were doing this. They had a broom and one would sweep off the sidewalk and the other would use the "crake". I said why don't we make one huge pile and you can jump in them. So we did and they had a blast once they figured out I wasn't going to freak at the mess...They were a little hesitant to just run and jump in them. Anyway we had a blast that day.

We have moved!

Well we have moved, against all of my wishes!! ha ha We have a smaller and cheaper place. It is cute. I can't believe all the junk we have!!!! I have alot of purging to do and I fear it will take forever to do so. I will send an email with an update of our new address soon. But that is the major change in our life right now..just thought I'd give an update since I haven't posted anything recent.

Okay Okay, I'm so sorry! I know I haven't posted something for a really long time. So many things were going on in this little house and not enough time to complete them. But here are a few events that have taken place in the last month. We have had a great summer. We have been able to hang out with family, friends and furry eight legged creatures. So anyway, here it is, the updated Blog of The Call's.

OH MY BIG FREAKING SCARY SPIDER!!!!!!

So here is the story (by the way looking at this picture makes my skin crawl), I went to pull the garbage can away from the wall so I could get the liner out, "ahhhhhhh what the heck is that" I yelled and then rushed me and the girls into the living room where we sat till Marshall took care of it. Well he took a pic before he did anything. He sat there for the longest time trying to figure out what to do. He took our swiffer and went to do it and he yells "It's looking at me!" and I yelled "kill it"! so he did and then he screams "oh my crap it has babies, it is aracnophobia over here!" and all these little babies were just scattering up the wall, the floor the cupboard. So marshall grabbed some bug spray and killed them all. After he got the mess all cleaned up he looked at the camera and he goes "oh my gosh! you can see the eyes of the babies on here"! That is so gross! And there just happen to be this battery on the floor next to it to show how big this sucker was. Marshall calls it the rodent killer. And everytime the story is told the spider gets bigger, but here is a pic to prove how big this flesh eater was!

Second day of school and we have homework.

Makayla had to make a person that looked like her so we did and had fun doing it. She also had a pattern paper she had to do where she made up her own pattern sequences..I helped her with it and I felt so cool, like a real mom! i'm a dork! I know!

"Mom you don't need to take me, I can walk!" A little convincing got her into the car..it is about a mile away..


Ellie wants to go to school so bad. She wanted to try sisters back pack on and pretend for a minute

Here we go again, Can't wait to get in those doors!

First day of school and No Fear whatsoever! Makayla was so excited and she loved her first day. She came running in when Dad picked her up to tell me how her first day went.

Welcome Kindergarteners!!

Just walking right in..no fear!

This was an entire family event. We were all so excited for Kindergarten!

Okay now a little nervousness sets in for about....

30 seconds! She walked right in, went to her hook and then stood to sing National Anthem...I got a bit teary eyed until Marshall called me a boob! tee hee..Ellie wanted to be with her sister so bad.

After the ATK trip we drove over to Golden Spike and saw a short film on how this place came about. I think it is so cool how many amazing events took place right here in my home state. I think it is pretty cool. We watched them put the trains away into their little sheds. The girls loved the trains and thought they were pretty awesome.

The race was on...which train and company would reach this point first. No.119 or Jupiter

Family in front of Jupiter

The last railroad tie and spike placed here, and my funky lookin feet

No. 119 Union Pacific

After we saw the trains we had a picnic in the parking lot. I'm so glad we stopped at all these places. These are things are probably would have never seen if I hadn't been traveling out that way already. This picture is a little dark but they were so exhausted. They slept the rest of the way home!

On our way home from the reunion we took a detour and went to see the Rocket Garden at ATK. I think it is at Promontory Point. It was really cool to see all the different materials were made here for the space shuttle.


ATK Rocket Garden. This is where Marshall's brother Otto works. This is displayed in front of the buildings there. I can't remember where it is but it is out in the middle of nowhere! This Rocket Garden was really impressive.

Ellie was so tired and sick of traveling. Her attitude definately showed by the end. Poor thing had had enough!

I can't remember what this was called but it was huge to. Mom and Kayla.

Dad standing in front of this gynormous rocket. I wish I would have written everything down so I could remember what each one was. The two on either side were missiles. The one on the right was used in Desert Storm.

This is the Call Family Reunion. This year it was in Declo, Idaho. We went along with Calvin, Karen, Katie and Morgan. We had a great time. It is always fun to get reacquainted with extended family members. Here are a few pics from our camp out.

I caught my first fish! Well my fish story goes like this...This is really my second fish and the first one was bigger and got away!

Morgan loved this puppy of Kayla's but what is funny is Kayla stuck this on her head and she kept it there.

This was such a fun game, it is called Nertz. We had up to 6 people playing at one time which made it challenging but way fun!

More Nertz

More swimming, Ellie was doing really good with her floaties and Kayla was doing great without her floaties. They both love to swim!

All Cozy in our tent. They slept great in the tent!
