Trick or Trunk Time

Trick or Trunk at church is always a night we enjoy. 
This year we thought we would be at a basketball game but the team we were suppose to play got scared and backed out!
We were pretty pumped we would get to come but had no costumes, so LB suggested we all dress like Alabama football players.  Damon could be Nick Saban!
When the almost 13 year old suggests we dress as a family - you dress as a family!



The annual picture with the Young family!

 Since the basketball game was cancelled, we invited Coach Murphy and Kim to bring Elam and Erby Anne.  The kids were thrilled that they came!




LB loves all the kids at church and they love her!

Happy Halloween!!!!



Pumpkin Carving 2014

We have always enjoyed carving pumpkins with our college kids.  Some years it works out and some years it doesn't.  This year we were able to get them all together and Whitney was even in for the weekend!!  BONUS!!!
We enjoyed an afternoon of great food, carving, football and just being together!

Carter's typical position when carving pumpkins - WATCHING!







Watch Out!!!!! He is actually working on a pumpkin!!!!


We always enjoy anytime we get to be together with our kiddos!

A "Frankly" Ghoulish Halloween Party

Our friend, Rachel, is quite taken with Halloween.  To say she loves it is a MAJOR understatement!  She holds a BIG Halloween party each year and this summer she asked me to help design some of the elements for the party.  I was honored.  The kids were so excited about the party and could not wait dress up!!!
Rock Star LB, Viking Princess Cecily and Darth Carter

 I even joined in again this year.  I could not think of much, so I went as a fairy!!!  Thank you, LB's dress up box!!!!
Me and Bridget
Rachel always goes above and beyond with her decorating!  She was trying to have a Halloween party with NO orange this year.  Her theme was Frankenstein . . . Here are her precious centerpieces made from clear rectangled plates, green toile, black construction paper, bolts and glow sticks!!!  

The Hardeman House was the venue for the evening.  The usually beautiful dining room was full of black spiders and the like . . .
The candy bar.
I made the apothecary labels telling the guests what the candy was.
Here is an up close look at some of the types of candy she had that night as our treats . . . .


The menu consisted of

Barbecued Beast (BBQ) 
Zombie Guts (Baked Beans)
Green Slime (Ranch Dip that was tinted green)
Radioactive Cupcakes
Young Frankensteins (Rice Krispie Treats)
Pumpkin Cookies
Monster Strawberries 
Witches Brew
Along with other Poisons you could choose



I made these cupcake toppers for her radioactive cupcakes.




I loved using the Mini Monster cricut cartridge to make the labels.  I was not as creative as I had hoped to be with the new job, but LOVED being a part of this amazing night.   Can't wait till next year, Rachel!

Happy Halloween 2011

We enjoyed Halloween with friends at FHU again this year.  The kids had a blast and we BOOKED it through the different dorms.  We also enjoyed seeing friends and family throughout the night!


LB and Whitney!

We love some Carissa, Claire, Whitney and Katie!
We love Emily, too, but she was not there!

HAD to take a pic with Fake Jessica.
We are ready for real Jessica (and AC) to be back!


LOVE LOVE LOVE Ms. Diane!!!

and Houston!

Halloween is not Halloween without stopping to see RoRo and Bub!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!

Trick or Trunk 2011

We had a LONG time of celebrating Halloween this year.  It seemed to go on and on and on and on.  We began the festivities with Trick or Trunk at church . . .   I fell VERY short this year and did not even get pictures of the kids in their outfits like I usually do (Carter was QUICK to point this out to me!).  However, there are plenty of pictures of them in their costumes.

an appropriate costume for these two!!!

Carter went as Darth Vader - shocking, I know, that he was NOT a baseball player!

LB with friends LeighAnne, Madlyn, Lexie and Mary Katherine

A Tradition like NONE other - The Welches and Youngs

This picture took some convincing, but I think in a few years, we will be glad we had this one

Thanks to the youth group for hosting this special night! It was a real treat!
