Halloween 2011

We had a fun Halloween this year. Oakley went as a mermaid and Kix was a dinosaur. We went to a truck-or-treat at the church, and then hit a few houses. The kids loaded up their pumpkins and brought home lots of treats!

Even I decided to dress up this year. About an hour before we left I threw this "rocker chick" costume together. My kids thought I was pretty funny!

Pumpkin Carving Contest

We had our annual pumpkin carving contest again this year. I think this is going to be that last year we do it for a while though. Everyone seems to be getting burned out since we have been doing it for 10 years this year. Next year I think we will just be doing a regular Halloween party. We had a lot of fun though, and once again my pumpkin came in top 3! I think I have placed in the top 3 every single year!

This was my pumpkin this year

Carving Pumpkins

We had a fun time carving pumpkins this year. Oakley did almost her whole pumpkin all by herself. She did an angry birds pumpkin. (she is kinda obsessed with that game.) She only need a little bit of my help. Kix liked helping me carve his. He did a frankenstein one that turned out really cute!

 I was surprised that Oakley actually cleaned hers out this year. She always thinks that it is so gross.

The finished product! Very very cute pumpkins!

Corn Season

Well corn season is underway, so that means lots of working hours for Cade. He had to chop a bunch by the house, so Kix and I would walk outside and jump in the chopper with him and ride for most of the day. We love being able to go ride around with him all day!

Kix loved finding corn cobbs and would carry them around!

Las Vegas

Tiffany and Dan were blessing sweet baby Gemma this last weekend, so most of my family drove down to Vegas to be a part of it. It was so fun to see Tiffy and her awesome family!

Saturday we went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. It was really fun and the kids loved it! After that we went and watched the twins play soccer. It is seriously funny to watch kids that age that play sports! Later that night we went to a free movie in the park where they also had free carousel rides. We spent alot of time on the carousel!

We had a little birthday party for Zaylor and then everyone surprised me with presents. I have the best family ever!  I had so much fun hanging out with you guys all weekend!

Every time we do any sort of family pictures there is always one with something like this going on!

Sometime I feel huge around my sisters!

I thought this was cute of the kids with their arms around each other.

We had a great time, but I was excited to get home to my cute hubby! Thanks Brooks Family for letting us invade your house. Thanks Morgan for riding down with me. Thanks mom and dad for letting me follow you guys so we didn't end up in California or something! And thanks to all of you for the great birthday presents! Love you all!
