Halloween

I'm not sure why I think this is SO funny. When she sent the photo I thought they were here real ONES.  They are NOT so rest assured NO NUDITY here!  It really is so creative and I only hope she went somewhere exciting as GARFIELD!

My cousin's wife, Afton aka Garfield!


My G-PA thought John was a China Man with a Ponytail!

Make a Wish Tour...

Each glass star represents a wish GRANTED.  Sad because that is a lot of sick little kids!

 We drove up to SLC to the Make a Wish Foundation and were given a tour of the facility.  It really is such a great place.  They grant 3-4 wishes PER WEEK!!!!  Big Wishes!

These are current little kids that have wishes - so the money Carson raised from his birthday will go to help make one of these wishes come true!

This is the TOWER (like in a castle) - kids come in here and put their wish into this vessel.

Granted wish - twin boys (Carson's age) both with Cancer...very rare for twins to both have leukemia.

This is the wishing well - she gave both boys wish tokens and they each threw their coins in the well and made a wish.  Carson wished for a football field in his backyard!

Pay It Forward (from the MAKE A WISH Blog)

...I often feel blessed working for this organization because I am constantly given glimpses of the basic kindness of human beings, and despite the terrible painfulness of life that I constantly encounter here also, I have always been able to hold on to an optimistic view of humankind.

There was an article in the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE this week that talked about the fact that human evolution produces, not the expected vicious fight for survival at all costs, but rather a survival of the kind and good. The instinct to make things better for another, even to our own personal detriment, seems to be a fact in nature. We are all surviving because of our deep patterns of cooperation and moral values, not in spite of them.

Ivory Ridge Halloween Party...

 Avatar and my animals...

I think I was the ONLY adult that dressed up for the party and the Avatar body suit was SO dang tight is was up my butt most of the evening...ANNOYING!  However, I might have won a gift certificate - Do I look like a boy?  I should have put some Hapari boob cutlets in my suit:)

Last Soccer Game of the Season

 It was rainy and cold but Carson still played like a stud!
