Halloween

We finally got around to carving our pumpkins this year.

Unfortunately they only lasted a few days on our front porch due to the warm weather.  So it's a good thing we procrastinated until right before Halloween.

Halloween is so much more fun with kids.  I mean, who can resist kids dressed up?  

3 week old baby Mason.

Miriam in one of her several dress up costumes.

Bone pajamas.

I think he makes a pretty adorable Mickey Mouse.

Jody hosted a Halloween party this year.  There was some stiff competition in the spooky food contest.  

Eliza representing my spider dip & chips. 

 Jeremy's hamburger-stuffed peppers won!  

We also played some fun games.

Digging for gummy worms in the whipped cream (way more fun than bobbing for apples).

Uncle Jared won for the adults.

Like father, like daughter.  Lydia won in the kids.

Eliza was not even interested in getting her face messy.  She waited patiently until I offered her a spoon.  Can't say I really blame her, but it was fun to watch everyone else get their faces messy!

Trunk or Treat

We had our annual ward Halloween Party.  

Miriam's wig lasted all of 5 minutes before she wanted to take it off.  She thought she looked funny.  Well maybe, but she was so cute too!

Eliza made a cute Tinkerbell.

And what would princesses be without a frog prince?  

He takes the cake.

  

At the party one of Miriam's friend's mom was dressed just like her.

They did some coloring,

and games.

But their favorite part was, of course, the trick or treating. 

Farmland Adventures

We went back to Farmland Adventures again this year.  It was perfect weather, not too hot and not too cold.   

The girls had a great time riding the ponies.

But their favorite activity is the corn pit.

The pig races didn't excite them this year.  

I still think it's pretty entertaining.

They enjoyed the hay ride to go feed the cows.

 

We met up with our good friends, the Quinns.

A new addition this year was the pedal bikes.  They were a big hit.

Eliza was excited to lead the way through the corn maze.

This year they tried feeding the animals.  At first they didn't want to feed them out of their hands because they didn't like getting them licked (can't say I blame them).

But then we reassured Miriam she could wash her hands and she decided to go for it.

Pigs are only cute as babies. 

Even Dallin was a champ, hanging out in the baby carrier for most of the afternoon.  It was a fun day at the farm!
