Pumpkin Carving!

We finally carved pumpkins with Nate and Camille! It was fun making ugly pumpkin faces and trying to keep Baloo from eating all of the pumpkin mush! (and too bad Baloo looks like a demon dog in this picture!)


Seth calls his pumpkin the unibrowed freak-o-lantern. Mine turned into some sort of Drag-pumpkin when I found some glitter lying around!



Nate and Camille made a nerdy-surfer sort of pumpkin and used the glasses that we got from seeing the Nightmare before Christmas in 3D (which was awesome by the way)!


...and lets not forget fatty! We tried to put him in the pumpkin but we forgot how fat and big he really is. haha!











My mom sent me a picture of the pumpkin that my little sister Jordie carved...I thought it was funny:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMMAS!!

Both of our mom's birthdays were this month! Lori's was today (the 22nd) and Pattie's was on the 16th!! We're sad that we weren't able to spend their birthdays with them at home back in California, but we were able to call and talk to them--and we hope that they both had excellent days!!! We have the best mothers in the world and we love them lots.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Peek-A-Boo!!

Little fatty Baloo tries to look super cute so we'll give him food. ...and sometimes it works. :) Who could resist this wrinkly face?

Our Valiant Primary Class!!

**From left: Pasepa, Seth, BJ, Moroni, Maryanne, Joseph and Lacey.**

This is our cute primary class that we get to teach every week--they're so adorable and so much fun to teach! Our calling rocks.


...after we took this picture the kids decided that because we're the teachers, we need our own picture!

These are the kinds of things we teach them every week.....



just kidding---kinda. We're such an example, arent we? haha.

Just for fun!

Seth came to the PCC today and recorded my solo and dance!---I thought that everyone might enjoy seeing what I do for work everyday! :)

Tahiti e, IMUA!

Ia Orana everyone!!!!

I have been dancing at the PCC since I moved to the north shore in 2006 and I absolutely looooooove it! It's loads and loads of fun. I dance for the HAMATA section--which is Hawaii, Maori and Tahiti. We love how it works out with our schedules: When Seth goes to the PCC to work on his poject, he can watch me dance!! I'm usually on Tahiti, dancing the Tamure, which is my favorite section to dance. I've been practicing my shake for over a year now, and I've been getting better and better!! It's really a lot of fun, and the tourists seem to love it!! I love learning about the Tahitian culture and their dances. We're working on getting a video camera to record the show so that all of our family at home can see how fun this is!! :)




shake shake shake shake shake!

Introducing...Screaming Sparrow Jr!

With Seth's car gone, and with both of us having such busy schedules, we used some of the money we got for Seth's car to buy a sweet scooter! It's fun to ride, and we love going for drives on it! It's really heavy though, and always falls on Lacey when she tries to park it (there are scars to prove it), so Seth is usually the one to drive it around Laie. haha. We have yet to take Baloo for a ride on it! We want to put a basket in place of that red "thing" on the back of the scooter so Baloo can ride on it with some sweet goggles and a bomber jacket on!! haha! We'll let you know if that ever happens!

A Good Night's Sleep

So we went to check on Baloo the other night before we went to bed, and we found our fat little bulldog sprawled out on his back, sound asleep! His snoring was almost as loud as the fan! Is there any other dog in the world that loves to sleep on his back like this?? :)

Our Wedding!

We had the most beautiful wedding and reception last december! It was a wonderful day that we will remember forever.
