Trunk -or-Treat

We had a blast at our ward Trunk-or-Treat party!

Batman, Lady Vampire, Superman

Can you guess who this lovely couple is???

Who is under this disguise??

My friend, Vicki, is an amazing artist. Check out the painting she whipped up for me last Christmas for Jason. This is one of my favorite photos of Jason's Dad holding Jason and Tasha. I LOVE this painting. Thanks Vicki!

We have had a great fall here in Oregon. The weather has been awesome. Beautiful sunny days that include crisp cold air and I have LOVED watching all the trees turn colors! Here are some photos of us enjoying fall in Oregon.

OOPS! This isn't outside enjoying the beautiful weather, but this is one of our favorite things to do since the weather has started to cool off this fall. Get a bunch of blankets and snuggle up to a movie at night. Don't Madison and Warwick look so cozy? Their bellies are happy, too, because we had just finished decorating Halloween cookies...oh, and eating them, too.

Look at the pretty fall colors! My favorite color isn't captured in this photo, though. I love the bright red/orange leaves. I gotta get a picture of some on here. So beautiful!

We LOVE all the yummy produce we get from Bobette's garden. Our favorite at the moment are these incredible apples! We had the BEST apple crisp last night with vanilla ice cream! We aren't the only ones that love these apples - rumor has it that people have been coming in the wee hours of the night to pick these delicious apples!


Brody and Warwick love to make apple stew from all the apples that have already fallen to the ground at Grandma's house. Don't these two look like trouble?

Brody and Warwick on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin to carve. These two boys are great little buddies...well, most of the time!

Oops, we lost one!

They found the last pumpkin.

I love this picture! Cute kids.

I saved the best picture for last. This is the new favorite fall activity for Brody and Warwick. Doesn't this look fun? They strip down, fill up the sandbox with water and have a party! The neighbors must really think we are a strange bunch!

Football Weekend

This post is way past due and doesn't have many photos, but it was definitely a highlight of our fall so far. We planned a weekend getaway to Utah to watch 2 football games (OSU vs. Utah and BYU vs. Utah State) and to see family. In true Bushnell style, the trip was totally put together at the last second, but trips like that always end up being the most fun, right? We loaded up the car with luggage, food and kids and headed for Utah at 10pm at night. I know, we were totally nuts to leave so late, but we were so excited for the weekend planned and it was the earliest we could sneak away and still get to the first game on time! OSU played an exciting game against Utah, but left us disappointed as they lost within the last few seconds of the game. BYU killed Utah State, though! Go BYU! We had a great time seeing Mark, Emily, Tasha, Carlos, Lori and Tanner. The kids LOVED seeing all their cousins...Rivers, Kelly, Tanner, Ryan, Connor, Dwight, Owen, Natalie and Emily. It was great to see everyone, next time we'll have to come for more than 2 1/2 days! I know, pretty lame that I don't have any photos of all the cousin fun, but I do have 2 photos from the weekend.

Here is the mass of people that we had to walk through to get to the OSU game. Look at all that red!

Here we are proudly wearing our Beaver attire.

We miss Madison while she is at school ALL day! These are pictures of us patiently waiting in the front yard for our favorite girl to come home!

BYU vs. UW

A bunch of my siblings met up for the weekend in Seattle for the BYU vs. UW football game. It was fun to go in such a big group. It was an exciting and close game. BYU won 28-27. UW almost tied it up with seconds left in the game, but luckily they were unsuccessful. GO BYU!

Here is part of our entourage before the game in Scott's front yard.

Brady and Blake on the bus. These two are identical, but as you can see Brady(right) got all the brains.
Amelia, Keri, Emily (my smokin' hot sister-in-laws)
The Bullock Gang. The group includes my brothers (Scott, Dave, John, Mark), my brother-in-law (Bruce), my sister-in-laws (Keri, Amelia, Emily), my nephews (Jake, Brady, Blake), Jason and I. Missing from the Bullock clan get together: my parents, my sisters (Lori, Kelly), brother -in-law (Derek), my sister-in-law (Suzi) and the rest of the wild grandchildren.
Walking through all the UW fans to get to the game. Go Cougars!
Jason was so excited to FINALLY pull this flag out and wave it proudly at the game. Too bad it got confiscated before entering the stadium. I guess they were worried that he might get rowdy with the flag pole and use it as a weapon when fighting with the UW fans.

My kids had a great time playing with the Lewis' while we were at the game. If you want to check out what they did during the game, visit http://jakeandvickilewis.blogspot.com/.
They also had the best time getting to know their cousins. They played all weekend with
Trey (3), Warren (1), Kelly (4), Jake (9), Owen (1), Jamie (19), Kacie (15), Brady & Blake (15). We swam in the lake, rode bikes, raced in Lightning McQueen, played b-ball, went on walks, played in the sand, threw rocks in the lake, canoed, jumped on the water trampoline, relaxed, watched lots of football on TV, went out to dinner, and ate lots of food-including Kacie's out-of-this-world chocolate/butterscotch cookies & shaved ice!

Madison's favorite part of the weekend was her makeover. Jamie was so nice and gave Madison a makeover and a photoshoot. I swear the makeover transformed Madison into a 16 year old. It was freaking me out how old she looked and how old she suddenly acted!

Here are the photos, doesn't she look pretty? Trey wanted a part of the action. Look how cute he is copying her as she poses for Jamie!


Trey and Brody. Brody hasn't stopped talking about Trey since we got home. He and Trey rode bikes, raced up and down the driveway in Lightning McQueen, played with cars and played basketball. Trey is amazingly good at basketball - Brody had fun catching basketball fever from him.

More beauty shots. Here is Madison and Kelly. Kelly had a makeover, too.
Madison requested this pose. Isn't that funny? Jamie is good at this. I told her she should be a photographer.
This is my favorite. I love the bare feet and the skirt. She looks so sweet.
Thanks, Jamie! You made her day. She keeps begging me to make Jamie her big sister!

Mark & Emily

My brother, Mark, and his wife, Emily, came for a few days and it was GREAT! They have 2 cute kids named Kelly and Owen and they brought their ultra amazing babysitter, Katie. We spent a lot of time at the park and taking the kids on walks through the nature trails by our house. It had been 3 years since I had seen them last, so it was extra fun to spend time with them.

Kelly is 4 and was a great playmate for Madison. Emily teaching the kids a thing or two about soccer. I think they had more fun watching Emily score on Katie than actually playing themselves.
Brody polishing his skills.
Warwick liked throwing the ball more than kicking. Must be the wrong sport for him!
Gotta love that tongue!
Wild Warwick - I swear he is going to kill himself with all the wild stunts he tries to pull!

Brody begs to go to this playground everyday. He loves the slide.
Emily and Baby Owen. Owen is the calmest baby ever.
Kelly and Katie. I am still trying to figure out how I can clone Katie. She is too perfect.
I am predicting Kelly is going to be a gymnast OR on American Idol. She has crazy monkey bar skills and can sing out of this world.
