Oktoberfest 2009

The Ogden's were the only ones who carved their
pumpkins the traditional way.

Good thing Grandma has two laps and can hold a grandson
on each leg. Colton and Vance wanted equal time.
No problem at all since there are both so cute.

What's up Joseph?

Great Grandma Sutton working on her

pumpkin. Jennie makes the BEST carmel apples

dipped in chopped almonds. They are my favorite.

Malinda came for the Oktoberfest and really got

in to the mode by making these cute sugar cookies. Leslie

made Mummy Hot Dogs, which the kids always love.

Leslie's birthday is October 31st. Leslie has a little side
business making wedding cakes, sports team banquet cakes,
and of course birthday cakes!

Allison's birthday is October 29th. Amy made her some
activity folders she wanted for her birthday. Maybe this
will help Vance at Church?

We bought Allison a new watch which she couldn't wait

to open and wore her watch the whole day before her

birthday. Some things never change.

The Waldron's had a great idea to just paint the pumpkins

for the younger kids. Vance was a mess, but he had fun.

Aspen and Camden working on their creation.

Briton helped her brother, and David worked with

Colton and Logan designing their "Iron Man" pumpkin.

The girls went shopping the day before and

Leslie picked out a new black jacket, a grey

sweater, and some fushia sandal

Kelsie and Briton helped the little boys do the craft. We

used the precut foam shapes and made a candy corn

refrigerator magnet.

Ghost BINGO

Everyone played for a single, double and triple bingo. Mason

was the first BINGO winner of the night.

Viva Las Vegas

Malinda helped Carson and Camden with their craft.

Munching out while waiting for everyone to arrive for the

party at Mom's

No event would be complete without a ride in Grandpa's

Dune Buggy. The grandkids took turns taking a spin in

the desert by our house. There is one advantage to living

in an area that isn't built out yet.

Vance and Colton challenged Brayden to a game of

Air Hockey.

We love having the kids over. Our annual Oktoberfest

is just another great excuse to get together. We have

been doing an Oktoberfest since our girls were little and

have so many great memories.
