My Two Punkins

I've never enjoyed Halloween as much as I have being a mom. There's nothing cuter than dressing your kiddos up in costumes! This year we had Spiderman (who is actually a frequent in our house) and a dragon.

The parties started Friday night with a FABULOUS church Halloween party. They really knock themselves out every year. Dinner, games, costume parade, jumpy house, trick or treating, and the most amazing decorations you've seen. Dallin loved his face painting: (well, everything but the 'trying to get it off' part later that night!)

Due to Evan being a bit under the weather, I was solo at the party so not too many pictures! On the actual day of Halloween we headed down to Gilroy Gardens. The rides that scared Dallin a year and a half ago are now a blast. Those goldfish on the kiddy ride really get moving quick you know! Here he is on the carousel:



Cousin Wyatt's Blessing

Wyatt Gilstrap was blessed last weekend in Pasadena and we were so glad we could go! First, a shot of the cousins (not including the newest babies) Jeffrey-David-Ryan-Owen-Dallin. What a great crew of guys!

Thad sleeping, tie and all. I cannot rotate this thing!

In the backyard..Couldn't help ourselves.

The whole crew! (notice Thad sleeping in the front in his carrier!)


After the blessing, Evan dropped me off at Kates for a visit. They just bought a great house and we were there to check it out (well, or avoid the construction workers). The boys didn't mind eating at McDonalds and heading to the Pumpkin Patch. Dallin drove the car and had a great time. My great stroller managed to fit 3 kiddos too!

We couldn't get Billy to smile with his momma..

Thank goodness for Jetblue's inflight entertainment. The $2 headphones were worth their weight in gold for a smooth flight home.

Thanks for the visit Kate, Jim and Billy!
