Halloween!!

(Sam-Batman, Josh-"piderman", Maurie-Pooh Bear dressed as a pumpkin, Becca - yikes:))

We had so much fun this Halloween! I was reminiscing how last year I was flat on my back (pregnancy issues with Maurie) during Halloween and how I missed walking around with the boys. So I took advantage this year and Ted and I took the kids around the neighborhood for trick-or-treating! They were so excited about every piece of candy that they received.

These guys are perfect ages for this kind of stuff!! It was great!

Poor Maurie!

Maurie has been subject to a lot of dress up this halloween. She is definitely a good sport!

(And these were the only ones I took pictures of!)

Sam chose to be a fire fighter this year!

JACK-O-LANTERNS

We had a fun family night and carved pumpkins!

Dad helped Josh with his "happy" pumpkin and I helped Sam with his "scary" pumpkin. We followed their instructions to make these pumpkins just perfect. Both Sam and Josh were brave enough this year to touch the pumpkin guts!

Doesn't each pumpkin reflect the personality of their maker?!

Nintendo Bonding!

It is rare to see these two this close to each other without them being on the attack!

Cowboy Bopper

Isn't he too cute! Josh is enjoying this season of dress-up!

Sugar Cookies!

Decorating Sugar Cookies

Rachel and Scott brought a bunch of halloween shaped cookies for the kids to decorate!

Mark and Taneil came with Landon, Luke, and Lily to join in the fun!

We had a lot of fun even though our house was torn apart (downstairs remodeling)!

Kindergarten Trip to Vineyard

Pumpkinland

I volunteered to help out with Sam's kindergarten class on their exciting trip to Vineyard (west of Orem). Everyone had lots of fun and no one got lost! :)

Sam and Josh

Joshie in his true form!

In the corn maze! Sam, Nicholas (from Sam's class), and Josh.

Maurie endured the adventure!

The boys had a lot of fun playing on all of the fun setups. They were also able to pick out a pumpkin to take home!

Snicker Doodle

My toothless wonder!!

Maurie received her nick-name "Snicker Doodle" because she always wrinkles up her nose into a snicker! I was just now able to capture it on camera!

Three of a kind!

Even from behind they look the same!

(Josh, Maurie, Sam)

Ted's brother Kyle Just had their first baby!

Isn't he cute!

Way to go Liz and Kyle!

Maurie Nine Months

This is the expression that we get a lot of lately!

Our Quick Trip to Georgia!

Ted and I (and Maurie) were able to go to Georgia to take part in Tonya's baptism this last Saturday! Thanks to my parents for taking the boys for a couple of days!

(Ted, Becca with Maurie, Tonya, Devin with Allyson, Elliott, Barrett, Nicole)

It was great to spend time with family!

Our Hummer!!

We got some sweet wheels at the rental shop since they were short on stock!

(I will never own a vehicle like this, it was pretty much awful in every way!)

Devin and Tonya took us to a Mexican Restuarant following the Baptism!

Maurie having fun during conference!
