Halloween weekend we drove over to Pullman so Dennis could scare some pheasants. Okay they actually shoot them (I guess that is scary for the pheasants). While Dennis scared pheasants the boys (Cooper & Spencer--Tucker had to work) and I went to Leah's volleyball game. It was a little trip down small town memory lane. Lots of fun. Volleyball has really changed since I played it (well that was over 30 years ago after all). Here's Leah in action and Kimberly playing in the band.
Kimberly did a huge project for her senior project. She volunteered to spearhead the repainting of a huge railroad boxcar that sits on the side of the track/football field. Aleta said Kimberley ended up doing alot of the work herself. So here is a "before" picture that is the boxcar behind the one Kimberley did which is what hers looked like before she painted it.
Here is the after picture. Amazing isn't it!! Kimberley did a great job didn't she. Aleta said one time the football team was practicing when she was painting and they gave her a "standing ovation. Pretty cool huh!
It was lots of fun to hang out with Aleta & fam. Always a fun weekend.

It was lots of fun to hang out with Aleta & fam. Always a fun weekend. Unlike everyone else, I do not have a Halloween photo to share. Poor neglected third child, Cooper did not get any photos taken by his bad, bad parents. He did go trick-or-treating and got lots of candy and I guess that's the whole point.

But how many pheasants were killed? (:
I'll bet that was a small town memory weekend. Hopefully in a good way!
Looks like James found a friend in Cooper, and Spencer looks appropriately bored. (:
I saw the size of Kimberly's project and it was a big one. Looks like she did a great job getting it all done.
Thanks for sharing the pics!
Six pheasants were killed (none eaten). Leah's team lost the first match against Davenport & won the 2nd match against St. Georges. I think James liked Cooper but Jake was the top dog as far as James was concerned. Jake entertained all of us by yelling for very for Leah (and lots of other players too). Funny guy.
Looks and Sounds like a fabulous way to spend the Halloween Weekend. She did a fantastic job on the boxcar....good for her!
Alec wasn't so into his costume this year...mostly was out to get A LOT of candy! You're right...especially at Cooper's age...that's the point.
I had heard about the big project and am not surprised that Miss Kimberly ended up doing much of the painting herself. Tends to be the way those types of projects end up. She DID indeed do a mighty fine job of it. The graphic is much more striking.
Every age has a different end goal for the dress up deal. I respect the idea of garnering massive amount of candy much more than the "I'm a German girl" with a skirt that barely reaches the butt, gartered socks with large stretches of bare thigh and breasts falling out of the peasant blouse... Seems that looking like a redlight district worker is required attire for the high school girls. (Can you tell it bothers me?!?- yeah. I know. I'm old).
Anywho...looks like it was a good time for all (except possibly Spencer? - or was he practicing his teenage angst?)
What a fun trip. Thanks for putting on some photos of Aleta's family. It's fun to see them. I love going to small town games. I also love volleyball-go Leah. And Kimberley-absolutely amazing work. Wow
