Halloween Cookie Party

In celebration for Halloween we decided to have a cookie party. We had the Krahn's and the Ramey's over for some sweet fun. Anne, Kerri, and I have been friends for a long time and it is so good to catch up every once in a while. Anne and Kerri both have three beautiful children. It is so great to be in this stage of life with the both of you. Thank you for your friendships.
The kids frosted cookies and topped them with lots and lots of candy and sprinkles. You can also see that Kerri and Lizzy were festive with their costumes.
This is Rylie (Anne's oldest girl)
This is Miss Chloe (Anne's middle child)
And Kerri's sweet Lizzie (she and Avery had a wedding today)
This husky guy is Jack. He is Kerri's also. He is only 9 mo. old and is very big.

Halloween Preparations

This was Henry's first year as a master carver. And as you can see we also let Avery carve his own pupkin.
Henry ate a lot of pumpkin last night. I should start serving it to him more for vegetables.
Last night we got together with family to do some pumpkin carving. Although Aunt MeMe(Jaime) had a bad attitude again this year, we still had a fun time.

Capitol Dental at Tamarack

.

This weekend we were fortunate, our doctors gave us a treat,

Our Annual planning meeting was a Tamarack retreat.

The weekend was full of good friends and good fun,

And even better yet, our bronco team won.

We talked about the years, our rears, and drank beers,

and the car ride to the lodge almost brought Vicki to tears.

Suzy sat in the hot tub for the very first time,

We had lots of good food and Petre's good wine.

Thank you Capitol Dental, you have answered my wish,

I get to work with great people and I get to throw fish.

Little Hegstead Blessings

We had the opportunity to go out to Caldwell to visit the Hegsteads last night. It was so good to see how well they are doing. They have four beautiful children now and seem happier than ever. Pam is such a wonderful Mom and Heggy, he is alright too(if you all remember Heggy was the one dancing on the tables at our wedding. He has now retired from those sorts of behaviors. Kind of). The twins Jack and Gretta were born over six weeks early and are very healthy little babies. Spencer and Charlie have a great bond with each and you can tell they really care about thier new siblings. Thank you Josh and Pam for dinner and the pumkin painting.

Yeah Broncos! The Boise State Bronco pulled another one off tonight. We went over to the Nilson's house and shoved our faces full of high calorie apetizers. The kids settled for cookies, brownies, and juice for dinner. Anyway everyone had fun and here are a few cute pics. For those of you who don't know the babies from left to right are Brennen, Henry, and Dillon. Brennen and Dillon are my two cute as can be nephews. And of course another picture of Avery and Carson being Avery and Carson.

Hello There! Welcome to the Downey Family Blog. I guess I am going to jump on to the bandwagon and start a blog page for our family. What does Blog stand for anyway? Whatever it stands for I can tell you it is a website for our family that our friends and families can view at any time and post comments or note to us. So let's see how this goes! I posted this picture of Avery and Henry because I think they look so cute together. I can already tell that they are going to be great friends and also great wrestling partners.
