Trunk-or-Treat

After treat-in-the-park, Nate's parents met us at our house and we all walked over to the church for trunk-or-treat.  The kids looked SO CUTE in their transformers costumes!
Saxon wore his mask and gloves the whole time, and Bridger didn't wear his at all.
A family picture.
Rare, right?
Brittany took it for us.  We rarely get a picture all together because one of us has to take it.  I love getting one of all of us together.  Nate's shirt had a glowing circle in the middle that flashed between a happy face and a skull.  It was funny.
Baby Prime loved his treats:
He kept digging in his candy to see what he had :)
Bridger's cute smile...
LOVE this kid!
Saxon's a popular kid in our neighborhood.
He met up with a few friends and ended up doing 2 laps around the parking lot.
Smart kid!

It was a really beautiful day out!
We were really lucky because it Utah, it could have been snowing.
Last year it was pouring rain!

After trunk-or-treating, the kids sat down in the grass with Gm and Gp Gailey to check out their candy.  After hanging out for a while, Gm & Gp went back to Heber to pass out candy at their house and we went up to Brittany's neighborhood to go trick-or-treating.  I thought we could get away with calling it a night, but Saxon reminded me that "we didn't even get to go to any houses yet!"  He was a champ at trick-or-treating too!  He led the way and loved every minute of it.  At one house, a lady made them spin the wheel and do what it said.  Saxon had to dance to get his candy.  He did it without even hesitating!  He rocked out for a minute and then held out his pumpkin bucket.  It was so funny!  Brittany's neighborhood is perfect for Halloween too!  There are so many houses and they were all decorated and TONS of kids in the street.  TONS.  It was so fun!
After trick-or-treating, we went to Chili's because they had free kids meals :)
It was such a fun day!!!

Treats at the Park

This year for Halloween, we did A LOT of trick-or-treating!
The morning of Halloween, I dropped Saxon off at school and then Bridger and Dalton and I went trick-or-treating at the grocery store.  Bridger was so cute because he was very worried that Saxon would be sad that he didn't get to go.  So, Bridger picked out a donut and brought it to Saxon when we picked him up from school :)
After we picked up Saxon, we got everyone ready and went with Brittany to Pleasant Grove's Treats in the Park.  A bunch of local businesses set up tables and the kids get to trick or treat to all of the tables at the park.  There was this huge pirate ship set up there with "Captain Jack Sparrow" handing out candy.  It was really cool!  Apparently you can rent the pirate ship for parties :)

And here is Bumblebee, Bumblebee, and Optimus Prime:

It was so fun!
I think it will be a new tradition for us :)

Carving Pumpkins

Since we were lucky enough to have my mom here over Halloween weekend, we all got to carve pumpkins together.  It turns out...Grammie is a pro!  She had all the pumpkins opened and cleaned out in only a few minutes.  Then, Saxon carved his own, and I carved Bridger's and Nate carved Dalton's.
And after...we roasted pumpkin seeds...yum!

Halloween Carnival

Grammie was in town for Halloween weekend and came with us to Saxon's Halloween Carnival.  It was so fun!  Even Uncle Gregor met us there and Aunt BB came too!
The kids did a Halloween program and sang a ton of cute songs.
I was so glad that Grammie was there to see it.
Last year, Saxon didn't really sing because he was feeling shy, but this year, he belted it out!  It was so cute!
Here he is getting ready to sing...
Can you spot Saxon with his green hair LOL?
Gummy worms on a string...

Uncle Gregor with Baby Gregor:
Saxon and Ms. Nettie...we love her!

Funny story:
I invited Gregor to the Halloween Carnival since my mom was in town.  I invited him but somehow he heard that we were going to the park, and naturally he assumed that it was a soccer game.  He was less than excited to discover that it was a 2 hour carnival! :)

Phineas and Ferb

So, I am way over due on some of these post so I have to backtrack a little...

A few weeks ago we decided to let the kids be Phineas and Ferb and Perry the Platypus for Saxon's Halloween Carnival.  But, the lighting at the Halloween Carnival is terrible, so Brittany and I went to the park to take some Phineas and Ferb pictures :)

PHINEAS
Perry the Platypus

Dalton's hat kept falling off so Bridger was being a good helper :)
