Trick-or-Treat

On the afternoon of Halloween my friend Amy and I went out to a nearby neighborhood to do a quick photo shoot of my boys in their costumes. Baylor was Russell from the movie UP and Wesley was the bird, Kevin. I love how these pictures turned out. The leaves look gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your talent Amy, I just love you!

These are snapshots I took on the 29th at our ward Trunk or Treat, and on Halloween. We lucked out with the best Halloween weather! There was a little mid-day rainstorm on Halloween but it cleared up just in time for trick or treating!

Before trick or treating we went to a friends house for an amazing Halloween dinner. Her decor was over the top and the food was so yummy! We started out trick or treating with some friends... but couldn't keep up. It may have been because Baylor was lugging around that big backpack. He didn't complain though! Trick or treating was a blast this year! We live in a neighborhood filled with friends and family. It was fun to run into everyone throughout the night. We ended up running into the Baldwins and so Cody and Baylor ended up trick or treating together. Wesley tagged along to most of the houses. It was so cute, he even held out his pumpkin bucket! He did so well! It turned out to be a perfect Halloween. 

As always, I'm already excited for next year!!

We love October!!

There were so many fun things going on in October.

We loved every minute of it!

At the beginning of October Oliver had these cute skeleton jammies on, I thought they were so cute Hailee told us where to get them we ran and got them that night. They are so cute cause they glow in the dark.

We went to Joes Place a couple of times in October to pick up cider and play at their pumpkin patch. Baylor couldn't stop talking about the scary witch. This was super fun for a quick activity for the kids. They had a small hay bail play area, corn husk teepee and a corn maze that wasn't actually a maze but more of just a path. That's perfect for the little kids.

Logan and I did hosted a Halloween party with some of our friends from our ward. We love having an excuse to get dressed up. We did a 'Monster Mash' Just Dance competition on the wii. No party is complete for me anymore without Just Dance!



On Halloween day I did a little Halloween play date with Baylor and Wesley and their friends. It was pretty cute having them run around and dance to Halloween music in their little costumes.

Bizi Farms

On the 29th my parents treated us to a day at Bizi Farms. This year and last we made plans to go, rain or shine. Last year we went in the rain, and this year we went in the sunshine! I took a gabillion pictures because there was just so much to do. We could have spent the whole day there! Next year we need to leave time to stay longer.

Hay Pyramid

Corn Pit. This was seriously so much fun! Last year we didn't even go in it. The kids loved it so much, they probably would have been fine if this was all we did.

Us adults loved it too!!! It felt like a foot massage.
Who needs a snow angel when you can make a corn angel?

Petting Zoo. Wesley was fearless! He wanted to touch all the animals he had so much fun.

We didn't even know they had pony rides until we stumbled upon them. I was so excited! This was Baylor's first Pony ride. He and Oliver did great! (That's Oliver behind him)

Logan doing the Pumpkin Launch. Everyone gets to do two.

Corn Maze. Logan used the map, which to me seemed pointless cause it just looks like a giant maze but Logan used it and let us through without taking a single wrong turn. The nice thing was, it didn't take too long... but I felt like we cheated. I was impressed that Logan was able to do that though!!

Hailee and Oliver

Baylor found this fuzzy caterpillar in the corn maze. When I was little we played with these all the time, but now they are hard to find. Why is that? Baylor carried it around the whole time and walked very slow.

We had to skip the hayride to get back for our Trunk or Treat. We were bummed we had to leave early... but we still had SO MUCH FUN! Thank you Mom and Dad for the best day!

Pumpkin Party

Every year we look forward to Grandma and Grandpa May's Pumpkin Party. This year they did dinner in a pumpkin, krispy 'skreme' donuts (that's what the box said) and my fav, Joe's Place cider. They decorate the barn with hay, lights and ghosts. They even provide us with pumpkins to carve from their garden! Grandma May went all out this year, dressed as a witch!

We love this tradition!

Thank you Lori and Verne, we had a blast!!!!!!
