I must say, in spite of the rain, the Halloween party was super fun. Above is Kyle and I.
The Stevensons
Kurt and his Krew...get it? ha ha!
Shauna and her kids.
The Coplens and a picture of Jeremy that Kyle promised to haunt him with for the rest of his life.
Skanky and totally hot Rainey and Jeff.
And their kids.
And here come the people with few enough children that they can all be named. Kory, Amy, and Axel.
Ashley, Brandon, and Ashdon.
Jerome, Kass and Story. (And Jerome did dress up--that name tag says "Joelle"). Isn't my mom the coolest? She actually got dad to play the couples game!!
Here's our look-alikes. I seriously confused Leisha for Dusty several times.And these two....
And the thousands of babies....
And the main event--the shoe game. It was Keri's idea. I forgot to give her credit. It was really fun and you could really tell who thought a lot of themselves with their answers. Notice how pissed Jessica is that they got this question wrong:
This was the after party. It ended quite soon after this picture:
P.S. If you want an actual disc of these pictures leave a comment or I'll just assume you are good with stealing them from this post.
I would love a disc please. We have lots of CDs or DVDs I believe if you want to come pick some up?
It was a fun party you did a good job. It seemed much shorter this year, but I am sure it is because we were well over an hour late. But I still had fun. Thanks again for all you did for it!
I love you guys' costumes! Ryan thought Kyle was "that squid guy from Star Trek" -- honestly, I don't know who he's talking about. But, luckily, you had just posted about "9", so all I had to do was scroll down and explain!
Happy Halloween! Be grateful for your fall weather. I'm dying of jealousy.
Great post - I loved the party. I do want to point out that you have hard evidence that Karen and Kurt cheated - they have the wrong answer in the last photo and they were supposed to get them all right!!!!!
Love it! I wished we wouldn't have been late. I missed out on taking pictures myself. But you took great ones, ones that I will be stealing from this blog, thank you very much. We had so much fun. I'm hoping that Jeff will eventually finish our Labrynth movie. Riley and Cole were so sad that we didn't showcase our acting chops.
I love your costume...you're so awesome! You'll have to teach me the shoe game. Your pumpkins rock, too. :) I love how much fun you and Kyle have together!
NBA 2k12 --- I know. I KNOW. I've probably played the NBA 2k series for atleast 350 real life hours. And yes, I KNOW that if I applied that time to any sort of constructive endeavor, I could probably boast actual abs, an add-on to the house, or a historical fiction novel. But I just don't care. The 2k series is the best sports simulation series ever made. And I will probably play it until I die.
Madden 12 --- Since the NBA is in a lockout, with basically no signs of ever becoming anything more than rich people personally spitting on me and my devotion, I felt I needed to find a new outlet. As the NFL is the country's biggest obsession, I figured I had probably get on board. I bought this game in large measure to relearn everything I'd forgotten about football since the early nineties when I last cared. And it did it's work well.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution --- Upgrading a bionic man while tiptoeing through warehouses? I accept.
Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword --- It seems at first glance everything you could want in a semi-tactical, mostly action-oriented historical battle game. You rouse troops, you train them, you arm them, you lead them into battle. You track looters and punish them. You try to navigate the political turmoil of 17th century eastern europe. But it's just so messy. It tries to be epic to the point where it seems unfocused. The interface is clumsy to me, and I got so sick of trying to learn the nuances of directing my troops that I always devolved into eventually abandoning them to their fates, while riding around lopping heads off. Cause that's where the fun was at anyway.
What Kyle's Reading
Nightlife by Rob Thurman --- Jeff introduced me to this author. After the density of A Song of Ice and Fire, it was nice to just jump into a light story with fun characters. Basically the story of what happens when demons make a baby, and the baby doesn't turn out to be that bad at being a person.
A Feast for Crows by George RR Martin --- He introduces a giant roster of new people. Some of them interesting, some of them not so much. It's kind of a grab bag of new information about regions not heard from before. But overall, the only book in the series that I had to force myself to read, instead of forcing myself to stop for the sake of sleep requirements. Still a good book, but one I had to just get through moreso than savor.
A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin --- This is my favorite volume so far. There were goosebump moments galore.
A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin --- Has one of the most intense battle sequences I've ever read. I can't wait to see it on HBO.

Good job Kelli, we all had a great time, even party pooper Dad. I want a disc.
We can't figure out what Jeff or Kyle is. Also, I can't believe that picture of mom-crazy. Looks like fun.
Jeff is Dexter from the show Dexter and Kyle was 5 from the movie 9 (look at my previous post for info on that one).
Love it! I wished we wouldn't have been late. I missed out on taking pictures myself. But you took great ones, ones that I will be stealing from this blog, thank you very much. We had so much fun. I'm hoping that Jeff will eventually finish our Labrynth movie. Riley and Cole were so sad that we didn't showcase our acting chops.
p.s. Jeff pointed out the hard evidence that Kurt and Karen got an answer wrong, as well. He was very upset that Sarah stole his thunder.
Sorry Jeff but I had to get it out!
you did a good job with the party. you always have great games. i would like a disc, please.
I love your costume...you're so awesome! You'll have to teach me the shoe game. Your pumpkins rock, too. :) I love how much fun you and Kyle have together!
