It's the most Wonderful Time of the Year!


So at first, Jack begged me to let him be Mickey Mouse this year for Halloween (even though I had already bought a vampire costume on clearance last year). So with a few adjustments to a store bought costume and the addition of some awesome Mickey Hands (from our friends Emily and Anthony) I thought Jack made a great Mickey Mouse! His first Halloween experience this year was at his school's Halloween Party. We saw some of the cutest Halloween costumes (people around here are much more creative then I am!) We saw a spider, pirates, firefighters, superheroes, a hunter in camo, another mickey mouse and his teacher dressed up as Ariel from The Little Mermaid! Once he saw the other kids costumes and found out that his cousin Trae was going to be a pirate for Halloween he informed me that his costume was not scary enough! He said that he wanted to be an "umpire" (vampire) for the Annual Nephi City Trick or Treat. So on Friday I hauled out the face paint and back-up vampire costume so he and his cousin could go Trick or Treating with Great Grandma Kayle. We went around to almost all of the businesses that were participating and Jack and Trae brought in quite the candy haul!



After dealing with the black spray paint in his hair, smeared face paint everywhere and a black ring around the tub after it was all said and done, I decided that he had to go back to being Mickey Mouse for the final Trick or Treat on Halloween. We went as a duo, I was Minnie to Jack's Mickey. We met up with Grandma Ann and hit all of the houses in her neighborhood. I can't believe how much candy Jack got.. tons for a three year old! We'll be eating candy for a month (Jack would eat it faster if he could).. so now every thirty minutes or so Jack asls "Can I have some candy?"

What a great holiday!

October 2011



We've had a VERY fun filled month! I had a great birthday weekend. Jace surprised me with tickets to a country concert (Jason Aldean) that I really had wanted to go to! It was great to spend some time as a couple! Then we continued my birthday celebrating with a trip to the Nephi Golf Course. Jack loves to practice his putting on the green and soon we'll have to get him his own clubs!

We also had a great visit from Emily, Barbara and Logynn in October! We had so much fun (at least I did..) catching up, crafting, shopping and going to the Witchfest at Gardner Village. Jack got his face painted for the first time!

We also spent some time at Jace's family farm in Meadow, Utah. Its such a beautiful place.

And last but not least Jack got to have a dress rehearsal for Halloween, this year he wanted to be Mickey Mouse and he can't wait to go trick or treating!
