October fun and Halloween night!

 Brandon did a great job of carving his pumpkin this year. It is always MY job to clean it out...he gets too grossed out! :)

These "brain" cupcakes were SO fun to make! We "booed" a couple friends with these. Brandon would take them to the door and drop them off, ring the bell, then run. :) He loves doing this kind of thing!!

 I honestly LOVE making holiday treats. I'm actually a little obsessed with finding cute treats on pinterest! 

My little butterfly flying around the police station while brother had a tour with the cub scouts. 

I got a ton of pictures of Brighty looking in her pumpkin! She loves that thing!

Just before we left to go trick-or-treating! Brandon's hair was supposed to be yellow...not sure why it turned this color!

I am so grateful for our wonderful friends that kept an eye on Brandon (and even brought it home afterwards!) while John and I slowly walked the neighborhood with our little bee. 

Brandon stayed out till 8:30 with his buddies while John and I went home with Brighty after an hour of collecting candy. They both had a fantastic time! Brighty learned how to walk up and take candy from strangers...so glad we taught her that! Ha! Brandon came home with some major loot and the biggest smile on his face, EVER! What a great night!!

Trunk-Or-Treat

We had such a great time at our wards Trunk-Or-Treat! What a cheesy flower I make, but my kiddos are cute! :) My handsome Thor and my little Busy Bee. Brighton makes the perfect bee because she does NOT stop moving, ever!!

Brighty ate every piece of candy that went in her "trick-or-treat" (her pumpkin) and then she threw up. Darn! 

I got this smile when she was on Brandon's shoulders. Her happiest times are with him. Oh how she adores him! 

There were lots of fun games to play, bouncy houses to jump in and too much food to eat. We were all sick of treats by the end of the night! 

My girl LOVES Elmo!! She stared at this bouncy house for the longest time! She didn't even want to go in, just wanted to look at it! 

Spooky Meal!

We had our annual Halloween spooky meal the other night. It was SO great to have Nana and 

Papa John here for it! 

Brandon helped out a ton, and he made all the signs and the band-aids! 

Here are the "Monster Patties" 

"Ghost Mashed Potatoes"

"Used bloody Band-Aids"

"Eyeball Eggs"

"Eyeball Pretzels"

"Toothy Grin"

I have this exact same picture from last year! Love it!!

Trying to take a bite with fangs!

She was NOT going to put fangs in no matter what!! (Don't mind the food all over her!)

 Why are fangs so much fun?! Can't wait to do this again next year! 

Dad and Mary visit!

It was so much fun having dad and Mary visit us for the first time! Brandon and Brighton loved having grandpa play the piano every morning! Fun memories. I am bummed out that I only took two pics. :(

Orange Belt

We are SO proud of Brandon! He earned his orange belt in Taekwondo! He works hard each week and really loves going to class. 

Way to go Brandon!

More Halloween Fun

We were so lucky to get a quick visit from the Milius family. It was a GREAT weekend! Lily is showing Brighty how to ride her old bike. :) Thank you for letting her have it Lily!!

Halloween bouncers are always a blast! 

Not sure what they are doing here? All I do know is that Brighty was NOT going to sit for a pic! 

Too much to do!!
