Happy Halloween Everyone!!

My oh my Halloween definitely is one of my all time favorite holidays. I don't think I've missed a year without going to a haunted house since I was like 8 years old. Not to mention carving pumpkins, dressing up, loads of candy and Halloween parties. Gotta love it!

My little monkey at our ward Halloween party... so cute!Thomas hiding between the curtain and the wall at the church.
Michael with the boys strutting their costumes down the stage... cutest monkey and engineer there by far!
Henry getting familiar with Mr. pumpkin while we were carving pumpkins.

My Pumpkin... Thomas picked out the pattern! He loved this whole pumpkin carving idea!
Michael's scary pumpkin!Thomas making pumpkin cookies... he "lubbed it!" He liked to make faces with chocolate chips, though I could never really tell where the eyes, nose and mouth was.

This year we went to 2 haunted houses! It's always interesting to look around and see the types of people that go to a haunted house.

As for costumes we had a little monkey this year and a little engineer. They were pretty dang cute.


When my sister cam out we were able to take pictures of the kids... my cute nephew, Lincoln wore Thomas' pirate costume... they all looked adorable!

Halloween night we went trick or treating with the boys, it was so much fun. Out here people sit out on their driveways around fire pits and hand out their candy. Thomas got a kick out of the fires. He was so funny, we taught him to say "Happy Halloween" to everyone. And they first few houses we went to he wanted to give candy to the people instead of take it. They were so confused why they were the ones receiving candy. He soon got the hang of it and come home with two full bags of candy!!
After trick or treating, love them so much!!

Happy 25th Birthday to Me!!

Turning 25 kind of was a big deal to me. It's funny, but it made me REALLY feel like an ADULT... I'm getting closer and closer to 30. There isn't alot restrictions on me anymore.

At 16 I could drive and date. At 18 I was considered an adult. I think it's 19 you can buy tobacco (not that I do). And 21 you can buy alcohol (not that I do.) And at age 25 you can rent a car without an extra charge. Sweet!! I guess the only thing I have against me is a senior citizen discount!! LOL, I can wait for that.
Michael made me this yummy banana cake with cream cheese frosting. He made me one of my favorite meals, Chicken Enchiladas and took me out for the night. It was a wonderful Birthday. I think one of the best parts was sleeping in!! Meg watched the boys that morning. I LOVE sleeping in! What a great day!
