The Twilight Midnight Premier

Katie is excited to see Twilight tonight -- so is the rest of Mesa! We took Katie down to the theater after Courtney's play to meet Cassidy and Taylor who had been in line since 4:00 pm. Thanks for saving seats -- what great friends!

Carie and Kimberly can't wait to see it on Friday!

The Aristocats

Courtney was in her first school play this week -- The Aristocats (She was a funny cat in the skits)


Waiting for makeup.


Courtney - the CAT


Saying her part - The top 5 reasons cats are better than dogs...........
The audience got a kick out of the #2 Reason ... "You don't have to walk a cat and carry around a little plastic baggie"
This brought back memories for ET of taking Shadow for a walk in the winter in Idaho Falls and having to do just that!


Courtney seeing that her whole family made it to the show!

End of the Season

Matthew's flag football season is over -- he made some good friends and we had fun watching him play!

New York City

Kristin spent a wonderful weekend in NYC with Anna and Jon, Katie, Cami and Charlie Groberg. We arrived Saturday afternoon and spent a few hours in Central Park enjoying the beautiful fall leaves and the carousel with Cami. That night we went to "A Tale of Two Cities" and loved it. I highly recommend it to anyone!

On Sunday we attended the blessing of little Charles Carpenter Groberg -- it took an extra long time as we had to get from East to West in the middle of the NYC marathon! Anna, Jon, and I spent some time in the Met that afternoon and then we all enjoyed a delicious dinner with Katie's family that night!

On Monday morning we went jogging in Central Park (and took lots of pictures of the beautiful fall leaves), got bagels at H&H Bagels, and then went shopping on 5th Ave. before grabbing a quick bite to eat and heading back to JFK. We arrived back in Phoenix at 8:00pm. It was a great trip!

Halloween

Carie, Matthew, and Courtney were the only ones in our Halloween picture this year! Carie was a chef (she collected her candy in her large mixing bowl), Matthew was a Peruvian soccer player in honor of Grandma and Grandpa, and Courtney was a pirate by default (she decided the Tiger costume was not comfy, the kimono was too big, and the witch costume was too small!)

We had fun at Grandma and Grandpas and enjoyed the traditional goolash and cornbread. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!

Regionals

Kimberly swam in regionals on Friday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 1. Mountain View won regionals and Kimberly swam one of her best times!

City Champs

The Poston football team was undefeated this year. They played Stapley on Wednesday, October 29. The cheerleaders did a great job pumping up the crowd and Katie surprised us with her pit and pendulum trick -- we were at the edge of our seats just watching her!
