Spooky Decorating!

While visiting Grandma and Grandpa, we got to help them decorate! Here is a peek at what their decorating includes:


We're calling this Grandma and Grandpa's "9th" child...

You would think the Headless Bride would be scary for Blake. Nope. She made him grin.
Here is a chip and dip holder. Grandma and Grandpa thought we should put candy in there. But the picture on the front of the box says to put salsa and guacamole in. So after a special trip to the store, Grandma helped me put the guac in so it would be just like the picture!!!
Some of the decorations were confusing for Blake. "What is this?"
" A ball?"
" A toy to pound on the ground?"
" I know! It's a glass to drink out of!"
And what would Halloween decorating be without the bubbles in a finger-shaped container?!

It's Autumntime!!!

We're discovering the fact that there are actually four seasons instead of just two...and with this Fall season comes a whole bunch of leaves!! So us boys got to work!

Well, Dad and I worked while Blake sat on the steps and played "manager." He also helped spread the leaves out more!

And what's raking leaves without jumping into the big pile once or twice?!

Happy Halloween!

We started the Halloween festivities early this year. The Fox cousins came to town the same weekend as Tabby's church halloween party so we all tagged along!

Goldilocks, Dragon, and Superman...together at last?!

Goldilocks with her 3 bears!

Ally and I thought it was fun that I could hide under her cape and jump out and yell "Boo!"

And Blake thought it was fun to eat everyone's candy when they turned their back. Too bad he left a trail of peanuts behind him! Apparently his 4 little teeth couldn't chomp those up fast enough!

We're pretty sure if you poke this little guy, chocolate will come out!

The annual ward Trunk or Treat. Do you feel a little safer with us on the scene?!

Blake found his friend Libby. (Please ignore his chocolate drool.)

And Dad set up a ring toss in the back of the car.

For the ACTUAL Halloween, we took Dad to the airport and then went to help pass out candy with Tabby!
What does that giant sign say?
Oh yes. Dad made their house the "coolest house on the block." They had the Snickers PB Squared which doesn't hit stores until winter. Don't you wish this cute little ballerina (who is giving a funny face...sorry!) would have been able to give you one?!

Happy Halloween from our house to yours!!!!

It's the Great Pumpkin!

Dad and Uncle Brian started off the carving by cutting the pumpkins open. I so excited to what was inside! I had been telling my parents that it was full of bugs. It was nice to know that it was only slimey guts!
Then we had a pumpkin cleaning party out on deck.

Please notice that I am not afraid to put my hand in the pumpkin!

This is Tabby's "Hey Utah Cousins...man up and touch the pumpkin guts!"

What is this bowl of stuff?

While the Daddies finished cleaning out the pumpkins, Tabby and I planned what we wanted our pumpkins to look like!

Time to carve! Tabby and Brian...

Daddy and me...
And then I helped Mom carve her pumpkin also!

Where were Aunt Heather and Blake during the carving? Making a delicious pumpkin milkshake for us all to enjoy! I think we know why Heather is Blake's favorite...

And now we are ready for the big day!

Choosing a Costume...

It's been Halloween around our house for over a month now. Look at all the costume choices!!

Superman...
Batman...

Spiderman...

"Ironman"

And the exhausted superhero in disguise!

Are you waiting on the edge of your seat to see which costumes made the cut for Halloween night?!
