Halloween at Work

There are always lots of Halloween festivities at my work. Here are some of our highlights:

The Marketing department (including me) did Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Those silly photo guys!

The best Zoolander crew ever! Complete with a walk-off!

Alice in Wonderland had a huge tea party!

The MAC counter girls make everyone look great!

Halloween Party - Julia Style

My friend Julia is an awesome hostess. She has the best parties. Here are some pics from her Halloween Pumpking Carving party this past October:

Sara and Miss Julia in the kitchen-party central hangout!

Colin checking out the witches brew and skeleton.

The eighties workout queen and Richard Simmons.

Naomi making mummies in the blanket.

Brother Dax (aka Budda or Dali Lama?) and his momma!

TJ getting ready to start his pumpkin.

Sara carving away!

TJ and Colin studying pumpkin patterns.

Emalee and Nightmare Mansion

Emalee got a job as an actor at a Haunted House this fall. She loved working (volunteer) as an actor at the NIGHTMARE MANSION. Here are a few pics of her costumes as she was getting dressed:

Here's a link where it was voted the #1 Haunted House in Utah for 2009

Brent Allen Rosdahl March 10, 1985-September 23, 2009

We lost our nephew Brent in September. It has been a tremendous blow to the entire family. He was deeply troubled and we hope he is at peace but everyone misses him so much! I love this picture with my sister Lori (his Mom).

Here his is with his brother Alex and stepdad Marcus.

The last time I was in Oklahoma he came over to my parents and cooked a spagetti dinner for all of us. He was the best cook and really enjoyed cooking for others.

WE MISS YOU BRENT!

Steve's Sunflowers

Steve planted Sunflowers grown from seeds from Joy and Pat's prior year flowers. They turned out beautiful!
Cardyn picked a sunflower and rose to take home to her Mom.

So cute! Don't you love how all boys reach the age they don't want their pic taken.

Sorry Y'all

It's been so long since I've posted. Many things happened, some not good and so I have not been posting. I am going to try to update for the past four months to get caught up. Please forgive me!

The "Pizza" Mile

Colin's swiim academy does the Pizza Mile ( freestyle swimming for 1 mile - 72 pool lengths) at the end of each summer. He didn't quite make the mile but went over 1/2 a mile (38 lengths). Much better than Grandma would ever be able to do! The only reason he stopped was cause he had a stomache ache and had to go to the bathroom. (Ha! - family problem) He had lots of supporters there to watch and cheer him on: Grandpa Steve, Grandani, Sara, TJ, Grandpa Todd, Brandon, Grandma Leslie, Grandpa Tom, Uncle Chris and Jazzlyn. What a lucky little boy.

Mom and pizza make everything better!

Swimming his heart out! Freestyle!

Ready to begin!
