Wicked Halloween!

This year for Halloween Makenna gave out all of our assignments and we dressed up as characters from Wicked/The Wizard of Oz. She was Glinda, Kason was a flying monkey, Brynn was Dorthy, I was the mean witch (Elphaba) and Weston was the Scarecrow (Fiyero). But Weston wouldn't dress up so oh well. And Kason didn't like his wings. But it was to all dress up together. We had a very busy day that started with Makenna's parade at the school, then lunch with Shellie, running past my moms work and Weston's work. Then we headed to Main Street to do the trick or treating there. Finally when Weston got home for work we went all around the neighborhood then we stopped by his parents and my parents houses. It was really a busy day but fun. Here are some pics.

All of us minus my boyfriend Fiyero!  Maybe next year I'll get him to dress up!

Decorating Pumpkins

In the past we have always carved pumpkins but with the kids so little its just Weston and I doing all the hard work while they watch so this year I thought I would let them paint their pumpkins.  That way they got to have all the fun and I got to watch!  And I think they did have fun.  Here are some pictures of their cute pumpkins!

Cute family night activity!

The fun part was when we got out the finger paint!

Happy Halloween!!!

This year was Kason's first year trick or treating since it was raining last year and boy did he have fun!  He would walk up to the doors and say "Treat!"  It was pretty adorable.  Makenna was shy as usual but they both had so much fun they didn't want to stop.  They just kept wanting to go to more houses.  I'm glad they had so much fun!  Here are the adorable cuties!

Pumpkin Patch Field trip

Today Makenna got to go on her first field trip.  They went to the Vineyard Nursery down in Orem and Kason and I got to tag along.  It was really cute the had a corn maze and big play area and a little light alley and then at the end they all got to pick out there own pumpkin.  We were able to get a cute class picture of all the kids and then they were off.  I really didn't see Makenna again until they were picking out there pumpkins.  She is such a social butterfly that she was off and playing or talking to someone the whole time. 

This is Makenna's class.  She is on the bottom row in the middle

Kason just had to have one too!

Halloween Part 4

We had a fun weekend loaded with activities to celebrate Halloween. It started on Friday where we went to my mom's work and my sister's work and trick or treated around everyones offices. They had so much fun and got a ton of candy, treats, and prizes. Then that night we had a trunk or treat in our ward. This was the first one I had ever been to and next year we will be more prepared with food for dinner and our trunk all decorated. It was lots of fun. Then on Saturday we went to my friends parents house who had done a spook alley that was so cute for the kids. They had lots of games going on too. Then we hit all the grandparents, great grandparents and a few houses in our neighborhood. It was raining and Makenna just wanted to go to a couple of her friends houses so Weston took her around while I stayed at home with Kason and Shellie. It has been a fun weekend and thanks to everyone who spoiled the kids!

Isn't this the cutest Belle you have ever seen?!


I had to get a picture from behind. He was just so cute and cuddly!

Look at that handsome dragon!

Halloween 2010 Part 1,2 and 3

Last Monday we went and picked out our own pumpkins for family night. It was lots of fun to go walk around and look for the perfect pumpkin. Although we were a little late picking pumpkins and they seemed to be really picked over. That's all right though because we still had tons of fun.

Looking for the perfect pumpkin

Makenna looks just like a model here. I think we might be in trouble when she gets older!

Then yesterday we went to my parents house and carved our pumpkins. It was lots of fun! Makenna picked the castle to no surprise and Kason got a smiley face because he is always so smiley!

Here's our handy man cutting our lids off for us

Makenna wasn't hesitant at all to put her hand in and start pulling everything out. She loved it!


Kason wanted to help us too!

Then last but not least the Halloween festivities wouldn't be done until we made sugar cookies and frosted them. Makenna loved cutting them out with the cookie cutters. I should have cut the recipe in half. We still have a ton of cookies. We need to get rid of them or I'll eat them all!

Cutting out the different shapes

Makenna loved putting chocolate chips for the ghosts eyes


Kason liked eating them!
