Happy Halloween

Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Halloween! Quentin and I will be heading to San Diego to visit Aub and everyone. Aub's birthday is Saturday, so I'm going to go down there to "bask in her glow" for a while. :-)

Here are pictures of Quentin and Lily in their Halloween costumes. Chandel and I took them trick-or-treating at the local shopping center this past Saturday. They do a costume contest and each of the stores pass out candy. Quentin is Captain Davey Jones and Lily is Raggedy Ann. Quentin was the only Davey Jones there, but there were tons of Captain Jack costumes! There were a few other Raggedy Ann costumes, but Lily was of course the cutest one!

Take care everyone!

Fires

Hi Everyone,

I'm in Anaheim right now at the CalPERS Conference. There are fires all over Southern California. There's a huge one just down the road in Irvine. There's an even bigger one near Magic Mountain. The air quality is absolutely horrible. Of course, the fires I'm most concerned with are the ones in San Diego. I spoke with Aubrey this morning and they have not evacuated, but they are on watch. Her Mother-in-law has been evacuated and I believe that Addison's girlfriend and her family have also been evacuated. My friend Barbi has a sister who is a firefighter in Tuolumne County and last night her crew was dispatched to the Witch fire in San Diego. So far, she has not had good luck with her firefighting experiences, so please be sure to keep her and the other firefighters in your prayers. My other friend Jeanne has a brother who moved to Spring Valley last year. We're sure he's been evacuated also. My allergies are killing me, but it's really nothing compared to what people are going through that live in the area of these fires. Love you all and remember to keep all these people being displaced by the fires, in your prayers...

Take care,

Jenn

Feeling Crafty...

It's 4:30 p.m. on a Tuesday afternoon. The consensus by Jeanne and myself is that we'd rather be at our homes...scrapbooking! Instead, we are being good little employees. (Can you tell?)

I haven't had too much creative energy flowing lately. As Aubrey would say, "The Scrapbook Fairy has left the building!" Here are a couple projects I have managed to do lately.

This is a picture of the ornaments I'm making for the ornament exchange at work. I have to make a total of 12.

This is a picture of a balsawood pumpkin cut out that I decorated with scrabpook supplies.

This is a scrapbook LO I made. The pictures are from when Q and I went to the pumpkin patch and corn maze. (The pictures were taken pre-sweaty-butt.)

Some miscellaneous information...

I'm going to Disneyland again. This time it's for work. I leave Sunday and will return on Wednesday. Quentin is staying with Ashley on Sunday and then with a friend from school on Monday and Tuesday. I'll pick him up from school on Wednesday.

Justin and Chandel have decided to move back to the apartments. Quentin is very excited that Lily will be next door and he'll have someone to play with. Chandel came over on Sunday and scrapbooked with me, so maybe I'll getting someone to play with too now that I think about it!

Take care everyone!

For my "Special" Friend...Jean-NA

Jeanne is very upset with me because I have not blogged in a long time. I tried to explain that I did not have internet access anymore. She does not accept that as an excuse.

Here is a short list of happenings over the last couple of weeks:

1. Yesterday Quentin and I went to the pumpkin patch and corn maze in Lathrop. We got lost in the corn maze and Quentin was getting a little irritated about it. A few kids walked by us and one said, "Are we almost out of here? My legs are getting tired." Quentin said, "Well, my butt is getting sweaty."

2. The last weekend of September my Dad and Yvonne came to Sonora to visit. It was the first time he has visited since we moved here. We went to Calaveras Big Trees Park and Lily peed in her pull-ups and said, "I peed. Oh, I peed in my shoes."

3. Quentin and I went to see the movie Game Plan. It's a cute movie and "The Rock" is a babe as always.

4. Jeanne and I went to Bass Lake for a conference. On the way there I got a little car sick. On the way back I got A LOT car sick and Jeanne threatened to take my picture if I threw up...she really is a great friend. :-)

5. Love ya' all!

Jenn
