...is always a fun time! This year was kind of weird..we had so much going on...we went to our ward Halloween party and got most of our trick or treating done then. Dylan was the guy from Scream, Samantha was Strawberry Shortcake, and Wesley was SHAMU..are we surprised? Not hardly! haha....and to find a Shamu costume, well not even Sea World had a costume, so it was up to my brain to figure that out..I think it turned out pretty good. And then the night of Halloween we made our families traditional homemade donuts. I made the dough, my Grandma Rotz cut them out and then my Mom fried them. This is the way to go..do one part and then someone else helps to the other parts...making donuts is something that I grew up with, with my Grandma Rotz, then my Mom, and now I do it for my kids. And they are yummy! After that we went trick or treating and we knocked on one street of homes, then the kids were done. Dylan was sick and stayed home and Samantha and Wesley were not that into it...not sure why. But it was fine by me! The next day was my cousin Doug Grover's wedding. He married the wonderful and beautiful Marla Gibson. We were so excited for them and spent the day doing that. Dave was the wonderful DJ for the reception. He did a great job for them! It was a busy weekend, but so glad to be with family and for my kids to spend time with their Great Grandma and Grandpa Rotz.

Sadness...








I knew that people would be upset about Prop 8 passing, but I never expected this...It breaks my heart to see people in front of a temple and protesting. It saddens me to see people climb the gated fence with bullhorns to tell the world that Mormons are bigots and should go to hell. I saw the picture of the temple with the SWAT team on the grounds protecting it and I thought that we may not be so far off from having them protect the grounds at all times. The last picture is how I want to remember the LA temple...peaceful, beautiful, clean...I hope that the protesters are learning what tolerance truly is and I hope that they will find a more peaceful way to protest.

Another attempt
I tried again to see if I could create a most fabulous cake...I think I did pretty well. It was David's sisters birthday. Kim was turning 40 and coming out to be with us and go to Oak Glen. I thought for her 40th she deserved a nice cake. I made a chocolate cake with raspberry filling. Kim loves the Nightmare before Christmas, so I made Jack the Pumpkin King. She loved it..it was yummy..and I will keep trying...is it Ace of Cakes worthy?? lol (: I wish!!


Family Tradtions
Every year, we go to OAK GLEN to enjoy the cool weather and to get an apple pie! They are the best! Well, this year it was hot, busy..not such a secret spot anymore, and we had a blast with David's Mom and Dad, Sister Kim and her son Lucas..Here are our adventures in Oak Glen in pictures...and again..I do not know how I got them all messed up and not looking organized...oh well...at least I blogged it!
