Halloween Fun!

Our Halloween fun started off with our ward Trunk or Treat:

Trena A.K.A Lagoona Blue made cupcakes.

Ava playing games.

The next stop on the Halloween train was the parade at Katrena's school. Trena's school doesn't allow you to dress up for Halloween so the week prior to Halloween is the literacy parade where the kids dress up as their favorite book character.

Trena was Lagoona Blue from Monster High, I didn't want to have to come up with a second costume and thought maybe since this internet show had become so popular there was a book now. As luck would have it there is, 3 of them! The little girl behind her is Hannah from our ward and she was Judy Moody.

And then it was Halloween Night!!!

Ava our adorable "Pirate Princess"

I had so much fun making her costume. Obviously a pink and black tutu for the skirt with leggings and black boots. For the top I sewed together black and white knit and lined it with black knit. I put a grommet in the center front and down the two sides and then crisscrossed with ribbon, making a halter style in the front and tying in the back. My friend found the idea on etsy and I LOVE how it turned out.

October Visit to Utah, part 2

Sunday after church we went to my parents for dinner and my grandparents came over too.

Brent and Kenzie

Grandpa and Ava

Grandpa and his "wiggy" girls

Of course Brent couldn't miss out on the fun.

The girls then played dress up with my moms awesome dress up clothes.

Then we took pictures of my mom's favorite sugar toes. My mom always pretends that she's going to eat all the kids toes and calls them her sugar toes.

We then went back over to Grandma and Grandpa Norths:

Where Ava and Trena picked a pumpkin

And dug up potatoes

We then went and told Grandma Hanson goodbye.

I then ran the girls back to my parents house later that night so they could have a sleep over on our last night. And then we were there to pick them up at 7 the next morning and we were off to home sweet home, but thankful for the 2.5 days that we had :)

October Visit to Utah

In October we were able to go home for a long weekend. We left Thursday night and spent the night in Mesquite and then headed on the rest of the way Friday. We met my family (minus dad) at the scarecrow festival first thing. They charged for a general admission and then all the games and rides were free.

Here is Kay and Tay and their cute babies Kaden and Kenzie.

My brother and his fiance Stacey

Our family

My cute mama and her grandbabies.

Me and my siblings

Kaden and Kenzie got to go in their first bounce house, our family had one all to our selves.

Kenz was a little un sure!

We took turns racing down the bounce slides and Kaden and Kenzie had their first experience going down the slides.

Taylor and Trena climbed the tower

Ava and Aunt YaYa (Karey) We all won these hideous hats and Ava declared that we were the "Ladies of the Earth"

The next morning we woke up and my parents came and picked up me and the girls from the Norths and we headed to my favorite breakfast place: Einstein Bagels

Complete with Kenzie pooping on Katrena!

After Breakfast we went to Gardner Village to walk around and look at all the Witches.

Here is Grandpa with his favorite witches and a warlock too.

We then had dinner with the North's, and Brent and his sister and her family headed to a Haunted House while the rest of us just hung out.
