Some of my favorites!

So it has been an extremely long time since I posted anything on our blog. Three hundred and fifty pictures downloaded from the camera tells me that there is no way I can reasonably catch up on the blog. I decided just to post a few of my favorites! We have been very busy since the last post, Christmas 2011, Monster Jam and a trip to California and Disneyland!

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!
