Thriller

I know this is what you all have been waiting for. Well, wait no longer.

Halloween Take 2

Here are cute pictures from our Trunk-or-Treat, which was such a perfect evening.
You wouldn't know it by the way Brandon behaves around Bill, but he idolizes this guy. Brandon has been obsessed with BSU lately and it just so happens that one of the famous Elvis fans is a friend of ours. He dressed up in his Elvis outfit for the Trunk-or-Treat. Brandon was so excited. I was so bummed that the picture was a little blurry, but it still makes Brandon's day.
The kids insisted on spider rolls for Halloween. But not just spider rolls, they also wanted a web for the spiders. Well, what you see is what you get.
We made "mummy" pizzas for dinner.

And eyeballs/deviled eggs:

Halloween Take 1

Ryan and I looked pretty creepy for Halloween this year. We got to dress up for two parties already. Between the face make-up and the black hair spray, I think I might dress up as something simpler for Halloween day. It is just such a mess.Here we are all dressed up.



Brandon's class party:

Ryan and I made this really cool brain out of watermelon.

Pumpkins?

I know, it has been a while since I last updated my blog. Sorry. Well, here is what we have been up to:
Ryan and I went to a Halloween party and danced the Thriller. We were awesome (maybe a little crazy).
Kathleen has been begging me to teach her how to sew. We decided to start with a cross stitch. But I don't really know how, so it is interesting to watch us try.
Here is my super cute family with our pumpkins before we carved them.
Cody made this fun mask at school.
And our annual chili/pumpkin carve night with friends.


Yes, Ryan did carve a 60 pound pumpkin. He decided to put the scream guy on there being scared by a werewolf. Pretty creative.
And yes, that is Cody with his shirt off. Naughty boy.
Brandon made this cute pumpkin at school.
Cody got some silly bands and some fun necklaces at school. He looked so cute with all of them on that I had to get a picture.

Busy Fun

Ryan and I ran the autism awareness run. I stole this picture from my friend we ran with just for you to see. Aren't we hot?Ryan read to the kids at school for "Read Night". He didn't just read, he had a power point to go along with it. It was super cute.
We went to the corn maze with the kids. The weather was beautiful.


Ring, ring. Hello?
Cody and his friend Autumn are so cute. Here they were just hanging out on the trampoline.
We picked up a friend of Cody's and went to the zoo this week. It was tons of fun.




Ryan and I made salsa.
Time for Halloween decorations.
Elder Nelson said a few years back that his wife always made homemade donuts while he was at the Priesthood session of conference. So it has been a joke at our house that I should do that. Of course, I never have. Well, last night the kids and I decided to surprise Dad.


They were the best donuts EVER!
Ryan is a cute soccer coach.
