Devree's speech and Hamblins Halloween 2011

St. Jude's emailed last week and asked if we could speak in Sacramento. Devree was happy to do it. St. Jude's booked our hotel and we went up on Wednesday night. We went and saw Cheryl a friend that lived close by and I have known since before we each got married. She is a returned missionary too and a little younger and she got married first. She has the opposite of me. She had 3 girls and 1 boy. While we have 3 boys and 1 girl. Cheryl's oldest daughter is already married.

We think her 3rd daughter would be a good match for Shay. Kylie is the same age.

Well it was really sad to think about having our annual Halloween party without Noble here. We have been having an annual Halloween party for about 15 years and this is the first year without Noble. We decided to do something different and have the party at the disk golf park close to our house. We asked everyone to bring a lantern or flashlights but many people did not. At 7:30pm it was ao dark you could hardly see your hand in front of your face. We played games and ate some great food. We think next year it might be back to our house.

Todd and I dressed as Hoops and Yoyo. Many people did not know that they are the famous characters of greeting cards. We always buy Hoops and YoYo cards.

Todd is the green bunny and I am the pink cat.
Josh is a pirate.
Zack is a biker and Harry was a bottle of ketchup. Harry won the costume contest and then another boy that got a mohawk just for the night to be a "scary" teenager. It was fun.
