Tempe Kiwanis Park Halloween Bash....

Every year, I keep hearing about this massive Halloween Party in Tempe-- 10,000 people. I've kind of dreaded going. This year we finally went. I have never seen so many ghosts and goblins in one place before. Lots of games, booths, prices, dances, singing, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts... even the mayor of Tempe was there with whom Jazzy spoke for a few minutes. Of course... lots of candy. I told her that we were definitely not going trick or treating this year, so this was it.... as far as "trick or treating" goes! Playing "Pin the Face on the Pumpkin".

Peoria Polar Ice....

Today was Jasmine's first official ice skating competition at Peoria Polar Ice- Desert West Championships. She entered the Artistic Light category where they are judged on expression, drama, costume, dance... and not technicality. Her program was to "These Boots Are Made for Walking" by Nancy Sinatra:) She was great! We'll make a couple improvements for the next competition in 2 weeks, then start on the Christmas program. She won first place!! by a hair. The only reason I know that is because after the performance, the competitor can get a printout of the placing from each of the five judges. It was really close. I ordered alot of photos from the photographer since it was her first official competition. Will post them when they come in. Good thing they videoed it also, because my video was blurry. Practicing with Coach Jaime before going on the ice.

Goofing around with her friend Katie.
