Pumpkin carving at it's best!!

Some people may be fortunate enough to have friends that are artists, but few have friends that are actually pumpkin carving EXPERTS!!! On Sunday I decided to settle the score once and for all between these highly competitive carvers, and have an official "carve off" to see who can take the title this year, it was a tough call.

As the competition began it was very intense. The competitors did not speak so that their early preparation secrets were not discovered by the group. You could have cut the air with a knife!

The Competitors

Although it was a tough call we all decided for safety reasons it was best to declare a 5 way tie, because Riley, one of the competitors, runs with a pretty tough crowd.

The finish line.......

Hooray for Hollywood

As many of you know my mother works for Colorado Make a Wish Foundation. Last Saturday night Make a Wish had their annual Gala "Hooray for Hollywood". I thought I would post some pics of the event, so you can see what Mom was working so hard on for the last month or so. Both the event and the silent auction seemed to be quite successful. I walked away with a private wine tasting for 10 people at a private winery in Colorado and Pat won an autographed Joe Sakic hockey stick, which I guess is worth a lot more then he paid, WOO HOO!!

This was definately a red carpet event, Joan River's was even there to welcome the guests.

She pulled me up to interview me about my upcoming projects.

What would any red carpet event be without the paparazzi?

Guests came in either blacktie or in costume as an actor/actress or character from a movie. Here are a couple of pictures of people who really got into character.

The true celebrities at the event were the Wish Kids. Here is a photo of Abigail one of the Wish Kids. She is pictured with the gala chairs and the event emcees, Mariann Curan and Bob Goen

Although my mother was running around all night we were able to grab a couple pics together.
