Halloween

The Thursday before Halloween we went to a neighborhood party with Kyle, Shadolyn and Mr. James. The boys basically never got off the play ground :)


Daddy and Ryan

Mr. James

Ryan the Tiger


He LOVED the swing


Can you guess what happened after Jacob beat Dylan to the play ground?
About 10 minutes of this!

On Monday for family night we went to a Pumpkin Patch. The boys jump in a bouncer, went through a corn maze, went on a tractor ride and decorated a pumpkin!

Dylan in the maze


Thanks Uncle Kyle for recommending this totally awesome tractor ride. We owe you :)

It was a beautiful night!
The boys even got to pick out a pumpkin to decorate!

After this we jumped in the car and headed over to Cafe Rio for dinner.

On Friday Jacob had a Halloween party at pre-school. Jacob talks about this party all year and it is a big deal in our home. Well Jacob came home with the biggest smile on his face. He had a GREAT time! In his own words "it was awesome, mom!"

Daddy had the day off :)


On Saturday our ward had a trunk-or-treat. We made some chili at my parents house in the morning while the guys watched football. It turned out great, everyone had a blast!

My mom and I passed out candy while John, my dad and the boys went trunk-or-treating!

Grandpa and Ryan

Ryan slept most of the night!

Getting ready to go trunk-or-treating
Jacob was a cowboy and Dylan was a turtle. (On a side note, I promise you Dylan that next year you can be whatever you want to be. NO more of Jacob's old costumes. If you want to be a skeleton/airplane/whatever then I will not rest until nana makes you one or pottery barn kids carries one :)
This pictures just makes me laugh :)

On Halloween we had an awesome party at my parents house. We played Halloween games and Minute to Win it games. So much fun. The boys had fun playing for prizes and the adults got really competitive knowing QT cards were at stake :)

Not sure, but I think Dylan is about to cheat!

One game we played was we had to unwrap paper and quickly decorated someone else. Well Shadolyn quickly claimed Ryan and dressed him as a hula dancer. Super cute!


Dylan was actually really good (or lucky) at bouncing the ping pong ball into the pot.

First person to get an Oreo from their forehead to their mouth without using their hands wins! Jacob and Dylan cheated and John won!

Here is the pumpkin that John and Jacob made. Super scary!


Great party guys!

This picture is kind of old, but here is Ryan at about 7 months tasting green beans for the first time. I don't think it was love at first bite :)


If you made it to the end of this post then you are an all-star. I would love to say my next post will be shorter, but seeing as we just got back from Disneyland, I wouldn't count on it!
