Our Halloween

Halloween was full of fun this year. Colten had a fun fall parade and a fantastic Halloween party at school this year. This year Colten wanted to be Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe, one of his favorites!!!

The night before Halloween we carved our Jack-O-Lantern...well Daddy did the work and Colten, Cambry and Mommy supervised and inspected the work.

the finished product, great job Daddy!!!

walking a little in Mommy's shoes (a new favorite)


We were so fortunate to have our good friends the Whitesides come down to SA for Halloween this year...oh how we miss them!!! Halloween morning we got ready, had a few fun treats and then met the Whitesides at Sea World for a morning full of more fun!!!

waiting for the trick-or-treaters to come

our turn to go out, what a cute bunch!!!

Cambry absolutely loved wearing her costume and walking the neighborhood. She followed right behind the big kids and went up to every door she could, not wanting to be held and toting her own pumpkin.

and her brother's as well

one tough "Storm Shadow"

getting lots and lots of goodies...

going up all by herself


The kids were anxious to get back home and pass out candy. They loved watching all the kids come up in their costumes. It was almost a race to see who could pass out the most and the fastest. Ashlyn even enticed some trick-or-treaters with glow necklaces and bracelets!!


We had a wonderful time Whitesides and enjoyed every minute of our visit. You guys are the greatest and we truly miss our times together. What a fun Halloween weekend!!!
Later in the week we celebrated my birthday with my parents coming to town for dinner. Thanks mom and dad for making my day extra special, love you both so much!!! And a special thanks to my mom who stayed a few extra days to help with sick kiddos and one tired mommy!!! You are the greatest!!!
