carving pumpkins

Carving pumpkins!!! Tyler ate about..... 4 suckers.
Lauryn carved her whole pumpkin by herself this year and Brayden was the best little pumpkin scooper. He cleaned out his and my pumpkins:)As Brayden said "you did a great job, Dad" Bry helped carve Braydens pumpkin

Lauryn and me with our finished pumpkins:) No surprise mine is a happy pumpkin(Lauryn thinks mine is boring but I can't bring myself to make a mean one.

From left to right mine, Tylers, Braydens, Brys and Lauryns.

It's going to be a great Halloween!!

Halloween Costumes

Saturday we went and got the kids thier Halloween costumes. Lauryn is Padme from Star WarsII and we tried to convince Brayden to be Obi wan but we failed hence Brayden the clown:) My "tough" boy is a clown where did we go wrong??
Everytime I look at him I can't stop laughing he is stinking cute!!

I think Lauryns costume is perfect for her. She looks so cute too!!


Tyler didn't feel good so he wouldn't put on his costume. He is going to be a tiger:)

An afternoon outside with Brayden and Abby

This little stinker will never smile in pictures for me :) But he still looks cute!
This is my BEAUTIFUL niece Abby. Her and brayden took turns taking pictures. She took the last one and Brayden took this one:)
