Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!

We had so much fun this year for Halloween. We spent it out at Matt's parents house. I have to warn you, there are lots of pictures on this post, but this is pretty much my scrapbook for the time being because I can't seem to find the time to really scrapbook. So Enjoy!!!!

Halloween is also Matt's Birthday, so there are a few pictures of him opening some presents and just being a cheezer.

Do you think this is why Eli is so hyper all the time? Yep, you see it right, 3 red bull colas. Just kidding, what do you take me for?

Wyatt and Buzz, arn't they cute? This is John and Eli just before we were heading out trick or treating.

Wyatt off of Super Why. This is Eli's best friend John.



Eli's first time REALLY trick or treating. Last year he was just a little young, but this year, he was all about the candy.

The sweet innocence of a child.


Buzz flying off of pretty much whatever Uncle Justin would lift him up onto.

Sorry about one of the video's. I couldn't figure out how to turn it.

My Cute Little Stink Bug

Nothing really significant about this picture, I just thought it was a really cute picture. And wanted to share my cute little boy. The way he sleeps sometimes? I don't know if I could sleep like that.

Buzz and Tracy... What A Pair?

So this year Lara wanted to be Tracy Turnblad off of Hairspray. Not quite sure were that one came from. But she did turn out pretty dang cute. And she definitely has the personality to go along with it. So this post is mainly just some picture of the kids in their Halloween costumes.






Eli was Buzz Lightyear this year and he loved it. He would put his costume on any chance that he could get. And let me tell you, when he had the wings on, this kid could fly. He would jump off the couch, off the chair, run around outside, basically anywhere we would let him. He was crazy, and I absolutely loved it.

Who Put There Hand In the Cookie Jar

For a family activity, we decided to make a Halloween Gingerbread house. Lara and Eli had so much fun doing this. Eli helped put the candy in the front yard. I think he was actually eating more then he was putting on the house. But he still had a lot of fun.





Don't mind the black smudges all over Lara, Eli and my face. The black frosting was really hard to not to get on things, and even harder to get off.

Love, Love, Love this face. He looks so guilty, doesn't he?

The finished project

Pumpkin Carving Party

So the weekend before Halloween we went out to Grandma Gaye's house to have a Pumpkin Carving Party. It was so much fun and Eli loved it. I mean last year he really got into it, but this year he was able to help so much more. He wasn't even really scared about the pumpkin insides but no way,

Some of the friends that were there as well. Sarah and John, although you can't see John because he is sitting on the chair next to his mom. Chris and Justin, and Eli and Matt.

Eli has such precision. Look at the detail.

Lara working hard on her pumpkin as well.

Eli, John, and Grandma Gaye coloring on the sidewalk. I'm so glad the weather was so great this day so we were able to do so many things outside.

Just another cute picture of Lara.

Who thought this would be a good idea?

Okay, maybe not a good idea, but sure made for a cute picture!

One of the activities that we did later in the day was to eat doughnuts off a string without your hands. Man, I really wish that I would have got a video of this. 5 grown adults eating doughnuts from a sting. I have not laughed so hard in my life.

Heather, Chris, and Justin

This is how Eli ended up eating his doughnut. Isn't it about the cutest thing ever?

All the completed projects over the day. It was so much fun.
