My sister Stacy and I decided to be really domestic and try out our sewing skills on Halloween costumes this year. We made skunk costumes for Jane and Barbara Grace. It was so much fun to make the costumes that I think we might try it again next year! Jane LOVED her costume (and the candy). She couldn't believe that she could walk around and people would give her candy.
We decided it would be funny if Brig, Andrew, Stacy, and I dressed up like we were Animal Control to catch the skunks (homemade shirts, nose plugs, and nets included).
On Halloween night we went to the opening night of Mesa High's production of Charlie Brown. They had a trunk or treat and carnival to celebrate. My brother Carl was Charlie Brown and he did a great job! We all loved it, including Jane. She couldn't take her eyes off of her Uncle Carl on stage. We had a great time being in Arizona for Halloween.

So adorable! I love that you were pet control. Great to talk to you yesterday. Can't wait to see you in Feb. if not sooner.
WOW Barb! I didn't know you were such a good sewer (I know that says sewer like stinky place, but I mean it like one who sews;) What a cute idea!!! Oh and TAG! You're it! Look at my blog :)
What a fun idea...you guys did such a good job on the costumes! Next time you guys are in town, we'll have to get together!
I am so impressed with everything- it makes me sad that we were so lame this year and Brett and I didn't even attempt to dress up. All the lost fun potential.
I love the idea! I'm so impressed with your skills. What a domestic goddess you are! I bought Lincoln's Halloween costume for next year at Old Navy for $5 the day after Halloween. Can't beat that. I can't wait to talk to you again soon and plan a fun vacation!
I love Jane's cute hair! Great costumes too!

Your site is so cute! I wanted to say how cool it is that you went to Prague. I loved it of all the places my family and I went to in Europe. It is such a gorgeous city. Well, if you are in AZ at the end of April you need to let me know so you can come to my wedding. email me sometime laurenjpatty@hotmail.com and enjoy Florida.
Hola! I came upon your blog and thought I'd say hello. I'm Katy(Bell)Wassom, one of Brigham's old friends. Your little girl is adorable! She has the most perfect nose I've ever seen. I enjoyed reading though your blog and looking at the pictures from your trip. Wow! I'm so jealous. We would really like to go to Europe some day. Anyway, tell Brigham Hi and God bless you!
Barb, that's great you'll be coming to the city. Email me at marystewartporter@gmail.com, and let me know what your situation is as far as what amenitites, etc. you're looking for in a place, and I can help you figure it out. We'll be moving in July to D.C. unfortunately, but I can for sure help you until then. Congratulations on another little baby!
Barbara!
I found your blog from Stace's....The costumes you made are sooooo adorable. Stace told me you guys were doing that and they sure turned out cute!! Hope all is well with you, Jane is so big! =)
I just made a blog for me and my fiance, Drew....

Take care!
Wow, there are a million posts! The people must really love you! Hey Brig, this is Katie Merrill...now Young. If you don't remember me I will only be mildly offended, it's not like we didn't study for AP history for a million hours or anything! Just kidding. So, your cute family is darling. I love your little Jane and cute wifer. It sounds like you are doing wonderful! It is so fun to see all you are up too.
Barb I want to see some new pictures!! I love seeing what you are up to in Miami. Hope you are feeling well, and everything is good. I went to Staci's shower the other day and it was fun to see your family!
YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED! check out my blog! and I'm so calling you this week, we have so much to catch up on!
Barbara, this is Emily Taylor. My husband Greg and I hung out with you in Prague. I had lost your email address and always felt bad for not getting in touch with you. Apparently blog stalking works. Anyway, we live in Tucson AZ now. Greg is in school and I am a scholarship counselor at the Univerisity. I never did get to fully thank you for taking us in that Sunday. It really made for a great end of our trip. I just started a blog so I'm going to add you. I hope all is going well.
