Halloween

We had fun this Halloween. Wesley made his own costume this year. As you can see, he was Duct Tape Man....

Tyler went as a movie theater floor.

I didn't get a picture of Heather :( in her real costume, this is her wearing the hair from my costume. She was a penguin in a tux and big red bow tie.

Here I am, boy do I hate looking at pictures of myself. I was a vampire. Marty and I went all out in dressing up for Rachel and Joe's great Halloween party.

Marty was Mcgyver. Don't you love the hair.
Tyler had to try out the Mcgyver hair too and Joe's mustache.

Rachel was a gypsy

Joe was a Nace car fan.

Rachel and Joe's friends, our favorite vampires of the night.

Curtis Mission Pictures

Curtis recently sent us his picture card. We didn't receive any commentary along with it. So, I don't really know a lot about the pictures, but they are fun to look at.

The missionary just below Curtis was his companion in the MTC.

There was a baptism right after Curtis arrived in Germany. It was in (I believe) The Rhine.

Here is Curtis with his companion, Elder Kowalis.

I believe that this is the area that Curtis and his companion spent a lot of time talking to people. It is a tourist area.

Marching Band

Mountain View Marching Band Sweeps Division

Tyler's band won all awards for their division, best music, best percussion, best color guard, best general effect, best marching, and 1st overall. They also won 3rd place in the sweepstakes which included all the bands in the competition. Mountian View is in the 5A small division meaning large school, small band. The first two places went to 5A large.

This is a picture of the whole band with the color guard. This picture was taken in Oregon while they were on their competition trip. Marty chaparoned and had a great time.

The show was titled Equinox. It represented musically and visually the fall equinox. Here you can see the fall colored silk backdrops they used.

The music was from the beautiful scores of "A Beautiful Mind" and "Signs".

Near the end of the show, the season changes and so do the colors. The band formation is a snowflake and the backdrop colors change to wintery colors.

Jason, Tyler, and Alan (Jason and Alan are twins). Check out the eyebrows.
