9 TH ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY......

ONCE AGAIN, WE HAD OUR ANNUAL HALLOWEEN AND BIRTHDAY BASH. ME AND MELISSA CELEBRATE OUR BIRTHDAYS WITH A BIG HALOWEEN PARTY! AND AGAIN IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AND A LOT OF FUN! I WASN'T SURE IF WE WERE EVEN GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE IT THIS YEAR BUT WITH EXTRA HELP THIS YEAR, WE PULLED IT OFF AND EVERYONE HAD A BLAST. TH FIRST KEG WAS TAPPED BY 10 PM AND THE SECOND ONE IS DARN NEAR EMPTY! THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR PITCHING IN FUNDS TO KEEP THE KEG GOING! AND ERIC FOUND A NEW GAME, 'BEER PONG' AND THAT WAS A HUGE HIT EVERYONE WAS GETTING IN ON THE ACTION PLAYING THAT GAME! WE SAW SOME OLD FRIENDS THAT LIVE OUT OF TOWN THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN A LONG TIME AND THAT WAS AWESOME! AND OF COURSE WE HAD ALL OUR GOOD CLOSE FRIENDS HERE TOO! I AM SO GLAD THAT MY FRIEND KELLI GOT TO COME THIS YEAR! EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDN'T STAY AS LONG AS SHE WANTED TO DUE TO DUE TO HER BABYSITTING ARRANGEMENTS, AT LEAST SHE CAME FOR A WHILE! I WAS THE QUEEN OF HEARTS AND ERIC WAS THE KING (ALTHOUGH HE DID NOT KEEP HIS ON LONG AT ALL. IT WAS KINDA BULKY AND INTERFERED WITH HIS 'BEER PONGING' hehe (I HAD TO THINK CHEAP THIS YEAR AND FOR UNDER 20 BUCKS, I MADE OUR COSTUMES!) EVERYONE WAS DANCING AND GRUBBING ON THE NACHOS AND MEATBALLS, DIPS AND THE SPIKED PUNCH TOO! HERE ARE SOME PICS FROM OUR FUN NIGHT!

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL ON ICE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

TONIGHT WAS HSM ON ICE TOUR AND KAYLEE WAS SO EXCITED. SHE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE BEFORE HER BIRTHDAY IN AUG. (SHE GOT THE TICKETS FOR HER B-DAY) SHE WAS ABLE TO TAKE EMMALEE (THANK YOU HEATHER (AND IVAN FOR SWITCHING WEEKENDS W/HEATHER) THEY HAD SSSOOO MUCH FUN. IT WAS SO NEAT TO SEE THEM ENJOY SOMETHING SO MUCH AND WE EVEN GOT TO SEE PART OF THE REAL CAST WHO WAS WATCHING THE SHOW IN THE AUDIENCE. WE SAW ASHLEY TISDALE AND CORBIN BLUE AND MORE FROM THE ACTUAL CAST!!!! I WAS SCREAMING RIGHT ALONG WITH THE GIRLS!!! IT WAS GREAT!!! WE HIT MAJOR TRAFFIC GOING THERE. TYPICAL FOR A FRIDAY NIGHT AND ON ANY FREEWAY IN CA I GUESS, BUT COMING HOME WAS A BREEZE. ALL THE KIDS GOT HUGE HSM MEGAPHONES AT THE DOOR AND THEN K AND EMMY GOT THEIR OWN HSM PROGRAMS AND A HSM LOLLIPOP FOR SOUVINERS!!! WE HAD REALLY GOOD SEATS AND ERIC WAS EXCITED WHEN HE SAW ONE OF THE MAIN ACTORS FROM HIS FAVORITE SHOW, HEROES!!!! IT WAS REALLY NEAT AND I AM SO GLAD I BOUGHT THESE TICKETS WHEN THEY FIRST WENT ON SALE (ALMOST A YEAR AGO) IT WAS DEFINITLY WORTH THE WAIT!!!! HERE ARE SOME PICS ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT ALL GREAT CAUSE IT'S HARD TO GET GOOD PICS INSIDE A HUGE AND DARK STADIUM LIKE THE STAPLES CENTER!!! BUT HERE ARE SOME!!!!

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW HSM ONE OR TWO, YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THESE PICS BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO LOVE HSM.... YOU WON'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE!!!! WE ABSOLUTLEY LOVED THE SHOW AND THE GIRLS HAD A BLAST!!!!!!!!
