opps...forgot these Halloween pics

My cute and very creative friend Andrea, has a adult Halloween party every year. Each year she has a different theme and this year's theme was dark circus...what do you think.


Trevor...aka bearded lady, me and Jess... Siamese twins, and Keith... ugliest women in the world. Eric...Reno 911 and Keri... dead tight rope walker


And our host, the Leavers. Andrea and Scott... Ringmasters. Aren't they awesome!!!

We made a very scandalous music video to Lady Marmalade from Moulin Rouge. Very funny but let's just say it was not exactly PG-13. Luckily our hosts and friends weren't too offended by our off color humor. Don't worry guys...next year will be PG for sure!

Long weekend


Don't you love those marathon weekends? It's fun being so close to Cali and being able to drive down for the weekend. Our cousin Luke got baptized Saturday so decided to head down. But we ending up cramming way too much into one weekend (like we always do) and when we head home this is what happens.







Disneyland


I think these pictures pretty much speak for themselves. My kids had so much fun at Disneyland. Big, happy, smiley faces all day long. I know it's totally cheesy but...when I go to Disneyland I feel just like the commercial where the mom and daughter and holding hands, laughing, having a blast. Do you know this commercial? Then the mom looks at her and her daughter's reflection in the window and sees herself as a kid. I'm tearing up as I write about it. I know... I'm lame. I just love Disneyland. So many happy memories of me and my family when I was little. It's such a magical happy place and I love sharing that feeling with my kids.






















This is my favorite picture of the trip. Our cousin Jack, climbed up the tomorrowland sign and was hiding from us. Kim, Trevor's sister was like "Jack....Jack...WHERE IS JACK!" And then we hear him snickering up above us. It was so funny




















































Happy Nevada Day


Who knows why we have Nevada day off but... no school means fun day!


That ball a little heavy Addi





Morgan's class party

I was so lucky to help in Morgan's class for their Halloween party. I loved seeing Morgan's friends that she always talks about. It was fun to see her interact at school.


Morgan loves her 1st grade teacher Mrs. Dwyer.


After posing for a class picture, the class went outside to do the monster mash and Halloween parade walk.





Mr. Shankburger is a very popular P.E. teacher at Morgan's school. Any guesses why???

Halloween Recap




The girls designed their own pumpkins this year. Morgan did the whole thing herself. I was quite impressed. Addi of course, had help from mom and Sydney told uncle Keith how she wanted it and he went from there. Can you guess who's is who?
(Morgan, Addi, Sydney)






One of the mom's from preschool made these cute spiders. There just pigs in a blanket with pretzel legs. I thought they were so cute and the kids loved them. I made them for dinner for my kids the night before Halloween.




I tried to get a shot of the girls current personalities. Morgan is such a goof ball. I don't know where she picked up the "bunny ears" but she likes to do them in every picture now. Sydney is always glam. She changed her Halloween costume for every Halloween event we attended. Let's see....first it was a fairy flower, next sleeping beauty bc she wanted long blond hair, not pictured was Hannah Montana for preschool and back to fairy flower for Halloween night. Addi is growing before my eyes. I can't believe how big she is. She is such a stinker and keeps me on my toes. I love her to death!!! She does not photograph well however i did manage this super cute pic with her daddy.












We had so many Halloween celebrations this year. 2 ward trunk or treats, play group party, preschool party, friend Halloween party all before Halloween night. By the time Oct 31 came I was so sick of Halloween! I started packing up the decorations before the night was even over. It was fun though....happy Halloween...until next year.
