We're Angry (Birds)

For the first time in our ten year marriage, Steve and I dressed up for Halloween.  And in honor of the occassion, spray-painted each other's hair green.  For those of you who don't know, the kids are all angry birds (see here: http://www.rovio.com/en/our-work/games/view/1) and Steve and I are the pigs who build the fortresses to be safe from the birds who are constantly trying to kill them.  (that's why they're attacking me in the bottom pictures)

Seems fitting, am I right?  Special thanks to Auntie M who made the pig shirts.  I'm sure Danny the yellow bird will make an appearance over here: http://madams2008.blogspot.com/ at some future date.

Happy Halloween!!

Pinewood Derby

We had our first (of many, do doubt) Pinewood Derbies on Tuesday, October 25.  The boy in the pack who is the youngest of 12 and whose father has assisted in the design/build of 20 derby cars won the night.  But we were sure proud of our Sam!!  And Steve and Sam are already planning for next year...I see a pinewood derby track being built here at the house somewhere in  my future...

Pretty Curls

Here's Abby right before our family photo shoot...after we put in her "pretty curls" and in the new dress she and Daddy found out shopping together.  Here's a link to a preview of our family photos, taken by our good friend Laura: http://lauramorrisphotography.blogspot.com/2011/10/bunker-family.html

Uncle Stevie's Birthday

The candles make XXV - happy quarter of a century Uncle Stevie!!

with grampa

grampa came to visit!! we watched byu pull off a miracle victory over usu thanks to riley nelson's magical hair (only after we watched jj diluigi bash himself in the head with his helmet and curse on national tv.) we ate good food. grampa brought doughnuts. repeatedly. we played at the park. we watched conference. then mom, sam, and grampa went to slc to see the prophet speak for general conference. it was awesome. when grampa came back through p-town on the way to slc from st.g, will wanted to know where the doughnuts were. jake suggested later that since he has named grandma kay "grandma fun," we should call grampa "grampa donut!"

WE LOVE GRAMPA!! hurry back!

sam, jake, will, abby, luke, mom, and dad

and here's proof he was here -

Luke

By far, the happiest part of my day!

except for just now, as I'm posting these and he barfs on my shirt.

nice.

love, m

ps - yes, it appears he likes to be under the couch. probably to do with the fact that he "crawls" backward better than he does forward.
