Halloween Fun

I absolutely love Halloween, it is one of my favorite holidays. It is just so much fun, I love to decorate and dress up, and there are always some type of Halloween activities going on. This year it has been a very busy holiday, between family parties, school parties, ward parties, and neighbor parties we have had something to do with Halloween almost everyday the last two weeks. So much fun.
This week my family got together to carve some pumpkins at my parent's house. I usually ask Kylie what she wants me to carve on the pumpkin but this year I let her carve her own. It was a little scary, but she was able to do it with no loss of blood. I think I drove her crazy standing over her shoulder making sure everything was okay. It is hard to let my kids grow up and do things on their own.

The pumpkin heads!
Kylie's school has been celebrating red ribbon week this week and each day they get to dress up. One day was crazy hair day so this is how Kylie wanted to do her hair. Doing her hair was pretty easy, but taking it out didn't go very well, let just say she has chunks of hair missing. But the important lesson is I have learned from my mistakes so hopefully it won't happen again. That is if she will let me fix her hair again.

The next day was Super Hero Day
One of the Halloween parties was for the girls in activity days in my ward. The girls dressed up and looked so cute, we had a party with lots of treats and fun games.
Teagan and Hadley after their pre-school Halloween party. Teagan's costume is a little small for him. He wanted to be Mickey Mouse but the only size I could find was 24 months, so I had to get it for him. Oh well, he still is the cutest Mickey Mouse!! And of course Hads looks hot as a rock star or as she calls herself "Hannah Montana" or a "Ballerina" or whatever she is in the mood to be.

Disneyland in October



October has been a crazy busy month. We have moved out of our rental house in Blackfoot and have moved in with my parents until December. They have been begging us to move in with them because we are just so much fun to be around, at least that is what I am trying to convince them of. We will be moving back to Utah after Christmas, where, we are not sure yet. I will be transferring to BYU so either back into our house in Herriman or somewhere in Utah Valley. I am sure we won't decide until the day we are moving. On to the fun stuff now, we were able to go to Disneyland again this year with my parents and sister and her family. It was a lot of fun. You might notice Steve is only in a few pictures, that is because he had to leave after a couple days of vacation to go to work. But don't feel too bad for him because he had to go to Hawaii. Poor guy, what a tough job!!! On our way home my parents dropped me off in Vegas and drove the rest of the way home with my kids, oh how I owe them big. Steve flew into Vegas and met me and we were able to go to the BYU vs. UNLV game. So even though October has been very busy it has been a fun month!!
