Halloween

We tried and tried to talk Alex into dressing up for Halloween to no avail, so I finally just made a t-shirt that said "this is my costume" He wouldn't hold still for anything! He was adamant about not going trick or treating as well. (I guess I can't blame him he doesn't really like candy.) We did convince him to go outside and take pictures with Zach and then talked him into going for a walk with daddy and Zach.

Zach was a monkey and a cute one at that!

Shawn said that by the time they got to the first house Alex was already into trick or treating and didn't want to stop when Zach got tired. After they got home Alex counted his candy and then had fun each time someone came to the door. At the end of the night he said to me "Mommy, I wish I had a monkey costume like Zach's"... of course...

Twilight Birthday

For my niece's 16 birthday my sister planned a surprise family party for her. They ordered a twilight cake which was so cute! One of my sister's coworkers got one of those cardboard cut outs of Robert Pattenson as Edward. It was a lot of fun!

Funny Faces

I was downloading the pictures from the camera and I found these pictures, I had to laugh apparently the "boys" were playing while I was gone...

Pumpkin Patch

I went with Alex to the pumpkin patch with his preschool class, as always it was a lot of fun.

They have a "hay ride" that takes them to the pumpkin patch where they get to pick pumpkins.

Alex picked a perfect shaped little pumpkin.
This year they also let them pick apples which Alex thought was the greatest thing.

After pumpkin picking and apple picking the hay ride took us back to the barn where they give the kids coloring books and apple doughnuts (which are SOOO good if you ever have the chance to go to the Red Barn in Santaquin you have to get some).

Big Boy Bed

Here is a picture of Zach in his big boy bed. He is so cheesy...
