HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween!

Love, Jenna

Another Photo of Jenna, as Promised

Here's Jenna as a little elephant. This one is Jeff's favorite. Now I just have to get her into the ladybug one again- the photos weren't as great as I had hoped...

Oh, the fun of sidewalk chalk!

Henry, Jeff, and I have been working on this for about 3 days now. The wind here in Great Falls is pretty crazy and it's been a little on the cool side. I can only handle being out in it for so long. We decorated our sidewalk, driveway, and front steps with fun Halloween pictures and phrases. My favorites are the spider webs. Tonight there will be a hayride throughout the base so that you can Trick-or-Treat all the neighborhoods. We'll probably just go around our little neighborhood collecting treats and then just ride the hayride as a base tour. It takes about an hour. I'll be sure to post some fun photos of that later on!

Princess Jenna is On Her Way!

Here is a little video of Jenna walking. She hasn't quite realized that she can walk all the time so it's here a little, there a little still. It won't be long though. This is her princess costume that I forgot I bought for her last year. As I was putting away all the stuff from the Halloween party at church, I decided to go through the costume box. In it I found about 4 costumes that fit Jenna. I will post a few photos of the others. I love Halloween and I guess I have this weird idea that every year has to be something new so I have all of Henry and Jeff's old ones. We'll see what happens next year. I'll be sure to hit Old Navy on Thursday though- just to see what's left and on clearance. (That's where this princess dress is from!)

The Heath Family Quilt

Grandma Pamela asked us to post this picture so that she could show off our lucky little Jenna and her prized quilt. This past July we attended the Heath Family Reunion in Elk City, ID. Dustin's mom was a Heath. One of the family members made this amazing quilt with all of the names of the Heath family starting with Pam's Dad's parents and siblings, and then all of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They raffled the quilt off, after putting everyone's name in the jar. Lucky little Jenna won! Now we just have to buy her a cedar chest to store it in.

Off to Neverland!

Henry as the infamous Captain Hook!

Jeff as the ever adventurous Peter Pan!

Jenna as the lovely Tinkerbell!

Peter, Hook, and Tink with Dad as Mr. Smee!

Me as the motherly Wendy!

Yep, we were all characters from Disney's Peter Pan. Dustin has been gone for a week TDY to Spokane. (Which is why I wasn't able to post all last week- he had the computer.) He came home to find his costume laid out for him and he was a great sport to wear it. I made him a name tag with Smee's character on it so that he wouldn't have to explain himself. I made one for me, too. I think we were a hit as we received lots of compliments at last night's Ward Halloween party. We planned and carried out a carnival with 14 games that the kids could play. Judging by the buzz at church today, the party was a tremendous hit! Whoo-Hoo, am I glad it's over! Now we just have to start thinking about the Christmas party!

Jenna Loves her Beads!

Grandma Pat sent us some costume beads in my birthday package and Jenna just loves them. I got all of our beads out of our costume box to add to them and she's played with them everyday since. I was so surprised that she could actually put them on herself and that she knew that that was what they were for. I think it's the same thing as my boys coming to earth knowing tractors make different vroom-vroom noises than trucks. She'll put 10 or 12 of them on and then try to crawl around so I have to keep a close eye on her, otherwise she gets all tangled up. Jenna definitely is our little princess. So long as she's happy with the costume ones we'll be safe, but watch out when she learns about the real ones!
