It is not really drawing names, but we would rotate families each year. That is this year we would buy for Nick and Jen, Nick and Jen would buy for Eric and CJ and Eric and CJ would buy for Ron. Then Ron would buy for us. We thought that this would allow us to get better gifts for everyone. But we will also go with that you guys want. Jared
Zach, I would have to say that I think Marvel has more heros, because of their whole "mutant" problem, developing people with abilities. They have several different Xmen comics and sometimes characters only show up once. That is my assumption. Although I do prefer DC.

Our Movie List and other random thoughts of nothingness
Basically we don't buy movies. The two newer movies we have are Ratatouille and the new Barbie movie. And guess what they came from Grandma. Thanks for your list Paco! Jared you can see the response in the commentsof yours.
Zach says:
Uncle Jared, Which has more super heroes Marvel or DC?
By the way Jared, my three boys are crazy for comic superhero guys and stuff, and I have said that you were the extreme authority in the family on the subject, so they may have a lot of questions for you.
Oh yeah, Thanksgiving was good. I had a Motions hearing today and got robbed by a judge who found against me without even telling me why. Oh that makes me mad. Because I am wrong a lot, but I at leat would like to know why I'm wrong.
Anyway, thanks for the blogging guys.

Christmas Questions
We were wondering about how we are doing gifts this year. Are we still buying for everybody or are we wanting to start only buying for one family per year? Let us know your ideas. Thanks Jared.

After Thanksgiving!
Well, first of all I hope that all had a wonderful Holiday! We missed you all and thought of you over the break. We had a great time here in Utah with CJ's family! Now that Thanksgiving is over we now can focus on Christmas. We got a new Christmas tree, doubling the size of our former one. (We went from a 3ft to a 6ft). Anyways, the point of this entry is to encourage each of us to post what movies we already have (recently released movies, that is. I don't think we need Jared and Becky's comprehensive list--:) ), and maybe list some that we wouldn't mind (not saying that a present has to be that, or even a movie at all; I've just noticed that that is often a common theme.) So we'll start, but I also would love to see lists from Jared/Becky and fam, Nick/Jenny and fam, Mom/Dad and Grandpa Glen, and our brother Ron!
Already have, or will have (so you wouldn't need to get these)
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Spiderman 3
Meet the Robinsons
Santa Clause 3
Ratatouille
Pixar Shorts Vol. 1
High School Musical 2
Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End
Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix
Don't have yet, and won't be buying (so if you wanted, these are possibilities)
Peter Pan in Return to Neverland "Pixie Powered Edition"
Shrek the Third
Live Free or Die Hard
Cinderella II "Special Edition"
Walt Disney Treasures: Disneyland Stories, Secrets and Magic
Stardust
Bourne Ultimatum
I think that this will be valuable for us to know about you guys; kind of the reason why we did it. So I hope to see lists from all of you as well. And if you don't know what will be out it's easy to search Disney DVD releases on Google and you can see there what will be available (or other non-Disney movies too can be found by searching DVD releases...). Our list is actually comprised solely of new releases, but if there are some others that you've been dying to have, go ahead and put them on your wishlist.
Thanks

Halloween
Hi all,
We are finally getting our Halloween pictures posted. We had a fun Halloween. Molly was a corpse bride, Emily was Aurora, and Tim was a pirate. Jared was Obi Wan Kenobi. I was the great pumpkin (at least that is how I feel). Anyway, we went to downtown Ellensburg and went trick or treating at the shops. Papa Murphy's was giving out free personal size pizzas to the kids. It was cool. We also went the the stake trunk or treat. It went from exactly 6:00 to 6:30. We had to be out of the parking lot by 6:40 so that the youth could come and have their dance. Then we went to about a blocks worth of trick or treating to houses on the hill and the kids were done. It was cold. We then went to a pizza party at a friends house. After that we went to another party at another friends house. It was a full night, but we had fun. The kids have waaaaay to much candy. Tim would eat it non-stop if we would let him. Anyway, here are some of the pictures from Halloween and also some of us carving pumpkins.
Tyler, what is going on in level two of Jedi Knight? What part are you struggling with. Our disk got stepped on and broken so we can't look it up.
We hope that everyone is doing great. Have a great day.
Jared, Becky, Molly, Emily, and Tim
The pictures are not uploading right now, so we will try later.
The kids say Hi to everyone:)
