Halloween

Spencer's class asked me to come in and help with his class Halloween party! And you know me I jumped all over it! I put together a fun game and the kids had a great time! It was SO fun to get to see him at school and be involved!

These are some cheesy boys! Don't you love them? We hit up the ward trunk or treat! Spencer and Coop loved picking the EXACT candy they wanted out of everyones bowl! They KNOW what they want! And Graham couldn't get candy fast enough! He would bight through the wrapper just for a taste! Silly boy!

Isn't he the cutest Ewok EVER!!!!!

Their costumes turned out GREAT! Graham was an Ewok, Cooper was Captain Rex and Spencer was Commander Cody! They have been excited about these costumes for months and it was funny once I finished them they wore them around for days! I think we washed them 3 times before Halloween! :)

There helmets were so big Cooper only wore it for these pics! Spencer was a true Storm Trooper and wore it pretty faithfully!

Main Street in Logan does this really fun activity for trick or treaters. A lot of the shops along main have candy and decorations out and families can come in the afternoon and trick or treat!

We had a great time, it sprinkled (BJ would say rained:) but the kids loved it and it was fun to just hang out and get some candy! WAHOO

We had a great time this Halloween! Next year I am going to get sewing early so I don't run out of steam before I finish the costumes for me and Beej! :)

Fall Festivities

So here is the big long catch up! Feel free to just browse the pics its a LONG BEAST to read!!!October kicked off with the most important day of the year...

My 27th Bday! One year older and wiser too...Happy Birthday to.......ME
Am-DAWG and I went to St George for our last BIG yard saleing trip of the season and then went to RED ROBIN (sing the song with me) with Jenise!



Then Bj's fam came over for cake (root beer cake yummy yummy) and presents!And as you all know I get SO excited about presents! Here I am in a moment of bliss....
Later in October Amber Jenise and I went to Krumpets (a great decorating store) for a Witches night out costume contest! I made all the capes and we got all decked out hoping to win the 50 dollar gift certificate! I think we looked spectacularly spooky! Unfortunately out of the 3 Hocus Pocus sisters only Jenise own! But we are so proud of her for representing!
Mom and Abby came to visit for Jenises Bday and Halloween
We got J up on the saddle at Texas Road House for the Big 2-5!

Gramzie and J teasing Spenc at the restaurant and Spencer hating EVERY minute of it! :)

A rare picture of me and the hottie who calls me his wife! What.A.STUD!

We had or first snow at the end of October! And it was good thing because Spencer had been begging and praying for snow since August!They got all bundled up and just soaked it in!

Until... Coop got a little too much to soak in.... luckily Spencer was there to give a "feel better hug" so they could get back to enjoying the snow!


Halloween arrived along with lots of family to dress up with! Sommer and Chris came down from Rexburg. Chris was Max from "Where the wild things are" and Sommer joined the witch sisters! Mom and Abby came from Mexico and we all went trick or treating in St George!

The stars of the night we my 3 scary Halloween boys! Spencer was a Skeleton (made my MOI) Cooper was a bat and Grahamy was a black widow spider(made my me too!) Oh and we cant forget my knight in green armor.... BJ was Frankenstein!November kicked off with our last craft fair! We all drove up to Gunnison Utah, a small town where Allison grew up! IT WAS A BLAST! We all had a great time just us girls! To top off a great time we all made more then we ever had! SO YEA!!!!
We had a small booth so we had to crawl under the table to get in and out! It made for a lot of laughing!!!
We celebrated a big birthday in November, Kristys 50th! She didn't want a big to-do so we all surprised her and took her to her favorite place.... IN AND OUT!
And our most recent event was Thanksgiving! We had it early again this year but it was great! It was over and Mindy's house and she did a beautiful job of decorating!I was on the kids table decor! I made a place-mat to color and a cute crayon envelope and napkin ring! The kids had a great time coloring! I cant forget the SWEET turkey hats the boys made for the big day! They looked so FESTIVE, is that the word?There were lots and lots of people who joined us!
BJ, Cadie, Lance, Kristy, Brent, Bristie, Matt and MOI
Matts Brothers Girlfriend, Matts Brother, Matts Mom, Matts Dad, Aunt Liz and Uncle Jess! Whew I am so sorry I don't remember Matt's families names!!
We all brought different things for dinner, and Brock made a fried turkey!
It was a great holiday!
SO wow that was A LOT! I am committing that I am NOT going to fall THAT behind again! And I am going to get some pictures up of all the crafts I have been working on! It has been SO much fun to try and do a homemade Christmas! All the craft blogs have been so helpful! I am addicted to stalking them and finding all the GREAT EASY ideas!

Trick or Treat

We went down to St George this year for Halloween! Unfortunately BJ had to work but the kids and I had a great time going around to to Trick or Treat with all our family and friends!

We stopped by Jenise's apartment first! Cooper fell asleep on the way their so he was a little groggy but as soon as he saw the treats he woke right up! He kept taking handfuls! And then he would put them back in the bucket! :) Silly kid, you have to hold on to those treats!
After visiting with Jenise we went out to Hurricane to trick or treat with the Hanks and the Steele's. Megan's neighborhood was perfect for walking around with the kids and we knew they would all love to go together! Spencer was a bit grouchy before we got started but warmed up and was great at saying "trick or treat" and thank you (phew) Cooper wasn't really into walking all over so I ended up carrying him while he bit THROUGH the candy wrappers to get a taste! He wasn't really into waiting!
We ended up back at BJ's parents with all the cousins! By then I was completely WORN out but the kids had a great time running around! The buzz from the candy didn't wear off until 11:00!
We had a great time, next year I think the kids will be a little more into it! When we got home on Saturday Spencer asked if he could go around and go trick or treat at home?
