Halloween 2010

We started our Halloween on Saturday and good thing we did because we all ended up sick on Halloween! I thought I could push through Saturday when in fact I should have heeded the fever and stayed in bed but didn't want to miss Halloween!

So Saturday morning we painted and carved pumpkins. I love to carve pumpkins, but alas my children are two of the only kids in the world that don't like to get messy so they were given paint and brushes.

So Preston and I carved our own.

This year we decided just to blindly carve without drawing it on first, Preston did a great one with hands and all!

I decided mine needed something extra on the sides so I gave her ears and earrings.

Then when it got dark we went to our wards "Trunker Treat"--Without the trunks though, we were on the ball field in a big circle with chairs.

Kya was the cutest butterfly princess!

And Baden was the best looking cowboy!

Press was an ASU fan and I was a Pirate!

The whole dressed up family!

Then we went to my mom & dads ward shindig. It looked like the spooky fair got dropped in someones backyard... I'm not joking! It was amazing!

Swing the eyeball to knock the skulls.

A graveyard to dig in.

Spin to win a prize.

Monster Toss

We had a fun night! Minus the fact that I came home with the chills and felt like I was going to die!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Festivities

We have been keeping busy with lots of treat-filled Halloween festivities!

We got together with some friends and let the kids pig out on candy decorate cookies and cupcakes. All the kids were enjoying themselves and were super entertained... and so were the moms!

The kids carried all of the candy corn around with them everywhere until they were all gone!

Then we had a little party with some cousins.

And last night we went to our ward festival.

I love Halloween time, you get to be outside (and not die), plus you get to dress up and eat candy!

Baden is a Big Boy

A few days ago Baden went to bed without his binkie. When he got up in the morning he found it and put it in his mouth. I told him, "You don't need that, go throw it in the garbage." Surprisingly enough he did! Every once in a while he'll ask for his binkie but I just tell him he's a big boy and he doesn't need it and he smiles and moves on!

He smiles, and makes the funniest faces... and talks a whole lot more!

Such a big boy

My kids are so fun!

Lately

I have a week or two that I need to catch up so here is what we've been up to for the last couple weeks.

Some friend had a big slip-n-slide, our kids didn't go down it much! They just enjoyed the food and friends.

This was a couple of weeks ago, we went swimming at Grandma and Grandpa Greats. It's starting to cool off here now so this was probably our last swim.

Baden is in a big boy bed and he knows he's not supposed to get out... but this is how I found him one day!

One of the nights Preston was gone we went and played at the park with cousins!

Today we made some Halloween decorations and the kids had fun helping.
