Halloween In Utah


We ended up going to Utah for Halloween for my Grandfathers Funeral. Grandpa Hatch, we sure miss and love him so much. We were so glad that we live so much closer that we could just get in the car and be with family. 

I love this picture of Jackson. We went to Cornbelly's Halloween fest at Thanksgiving point and this is him in one of those metal tubes. 

 I love my nephewPeter and his Mom Jane so much. How cute are they by this bull ride. Peter is sure loved by everyone around.
 Okay this isn't Halloween but the older boys had picture day so Matthew wanted to have picture day as well. Since I am home pre-schooling this year we did our own. Cute or scary you decide. 
 Okay Cute!
 Jackson wouldn't stop saying cheese. Its really funny to take his picture.
 Our Halloween display the kids wanted to make it look like we like Halloween. Most of you know I don't. But I am not about to stop my kids from having a good time. So I found some fabric, grocery bags, and string. And wal-la Ghost. Luckily Pumpkins here are super cheap. I got all those for 20 dollars. Everyone got to carve their own pumpkin this year. 
 I debated putting this picture in but its so much cuter of the kids. Me not so much. What is it with baby chub that just isn't flattering.
 F.H.E. Pumpkin carving time. I am not sure what Christopher is doing but ya. 
 My cute clown. He was set on being a clown for Halloween so I was thrilled when we found this costume for $8 dollars. He loved it!
 Jackson wanted to be doggie but when we went to Walmart and he saw this Car's Pitcrew driver he was set. He would pretend to drive fast in his costume so classic. 
 I am both kids home room parent so we had a fun time having a NOT a Halloween party but tasting pumpkin and using those scratch art pumpkins. Its so weird how kids can't have parties these days but everywhere else we are looking for the next big excitement. 
 Oh! to get older and feel embarrassed that your mom is taking a picture of you. He loved it! Once he got home he told me so. 
 back to Utah and corn belly's fest. Jackson saw this old fire truck and asked for a picture. Of course he had to say cheese the whole picture long.
 Loving being on the Cow tractor ride. He thought at first was going to be able to drive on the drivers lap. He is always wanting to take control. He loved this ride.
 Only in Utah would they have a head thing like this with FIVE heads. But don't they look like the cuties corn belly's
 GIGANTIC rocking chair with Grandpa Durham. 
 Well, if you look close someone is missing. We didn't notice for about ten more minutes. Jackson was just wandering the park eating his candy with no care in the world. Scary! But I do love my family and that Kirk and Karen were there to enjoy in on the fun.
 Halloween at Meghan and Marks. It was so fun to see all the kids dress up.
 Oh ya Jackson again!
 We made these incredible candied apples.
 Had Mummy dogs that were totally discusting. I can say that cause I made them and got sick of waiting for them to brown so I just took them out. They were a soggy mess. Oh, well.
Christopher won the contest at Scouts for the best decorated pumpkin. Way to go bud!

Thanks for all the well wishing on our baby. I am feeling a lot better thank goodness. Second trimester is going a lot smoother.
