This is Halloween

For Halloween this year Griff had to work so the girls and I went Trick or Treating at his job. Blakelee made a haul just there. All the departments gave her handfuls of candy and cookies!! She was in heaven!!

Afterwards we went to my parents house and put Blakelee down for a nap. When she woke up it was time to head to Lindsay's house for her Halloween party. But we had to take a few pictures of Blake in her cute Bee costume!!!

"Blake what does a Bee say?"

B- "SSsssss" I guess Buzzz and Sssss sound alike haha!

We had White Chili, pumpkin seeds, apple cider, and pumpkin dessert! It was Delicious. After dinner all the kids got into their costumes to hit the neighborhood!!!

These 3 girls were so excited to go get their candy on!!!

Last year Blakelee went trick or treating but didn't quite get it.. this year the girls showed her the ropes. It was so cute!!! She wanted to keep up with Laryssa and Jae so badly but couldn't go as fast as them. She kept saying "aiitt" (wait!!) Once they got to the door Blakelee would say "tank you, bye!" it was adorable!!! She couldn't say trick or treat but she was at least polite!!! There were a few older guys dressed up kinda scary looking... they were right behind us. As we were leaving the porch they were coming on the porch. Blake would get scared and start reaching for me to help her while pointing and saying "eee scarueee!!!!" (eee Scary!) She had a blast!

There was a Halloween Ally just up from Lindsay's house they were giving everyone full candy bars, hot chocolate, home made donuts, pop corn, and just having a party. It was so cute!!!!

Then just down from my sisters house they have this house that goes all out. They do Halloween dances to raise money to benefit Huntsman Cancer. They do a Thriller Dance that is always fun to watch. I put Blake's in the stroller so she wouldn't run around while we were watching. And she would pull the sun shade down when ever she was scared or the dancers got close to her. They are dressed up like the thriller zombies.

Always a good Holiday for sure!!!!

Cornbelly's

On October 29th Lara and I had a girls night to Cornbelly's. It is a Halloween Tradition, so it was a must. It wasn't as awesome this year. I feel like it was much smaller, and they didn't have the haunted section going this night. Which is really odd being so close to Halloween. 

But we still had fun. We did the corn maze, hayride, sat around a fire, and got hot chocolate. Afterwards we went and got some dinner at JCW's. It was a much needed girls night out!!!

Carving Pumpkins

On Sunday October 26th we invited our friends out to have dinner, carve pumpkins, and watch Walking Dead. Becca and Stefan couldn't make it but Steve and Lara came out. We had Navajo Tacos, scones, and apple pie!! Such a yummy dinner. 

We then started to carve our pumpkins.d Blakelee found a crayon and decided to color on hers!! When we started to pull the guts out she kept making a disgusted face and sticking out her tongue. She had a spoon and would just move it around inside in the pumpkin but wouldn't get any seeds out. Such a silly girl. I tried to put her hand inside and she started to get mad and pulled her hand out. I guess she finds it nasty!!

Griff bought a tool that you hook up to a drill and it carves out the guts for you. So the boys did that! It was pretty nifty. I will have to try it out next year!! Since Griff had the drill already out he decided to drill holes in his pumpkin instead of carving. Steve made a scary face, and Lara glittered hers. Before I started to carve my design I wanted to get a picture of Savvy in the pumpkin. My pumpkin was just a tad to small but it ended up working out. Good thing she has good head control!!! I then carved a Dracula in mine. After carving the boys played some computer games while Blakes went to bed and Lara and I watched Hocus Pocus. We then watched the Walking Dead. It was a great Halloween filled night.

Blake really wanted to sit in the pumpkin too haha! But it was much to small for her. But I love those pouty lips!

Birthday Fun

October 25th is my mom's birthday as well as my father in laws birthday. So in the morning we all went out to breakfast at Denny's. Afterwards the girls and I went over to my parents house to cut my dad's hair and to spend the day with them. 

It was such a great fall day. My parents have the best fall backyard with all the trees. There were tons of leaves on the ground so I showed Blake and we all played in the leaves for awhile. Blakelee had a blast, she loved it when we would toss the leaves in the air, she would just giggle!!

Seriously!!! I think she had the time of her life.

Fall is the best season ever!!! As much as I love summer I love Fall!!!

"Look Mom!!" Loving all the crunchy leaves.

Papa tossing leaves at her!

After playing in the leaves we had some lunch then Blakelee went down for a nap! While she was sleeping my sister came over to have me do her make up like a fairy for their ward Halloween party!

Then I finally decided I better cut Blakelee's hair. Everyone would tell me how much her hair looked like a mullet... Yes it did but with a bow it was long and cute. She has hair just like mine when I was little. She doesn't grow hair on the sides just above her ears. So if she grew hair there then it wouldn't look like a mullet haha. So I cut off about 1inch. It looks so much better but still need that side hair for it to not be a mullet!

That night we went out to dinner at the Chuck Arama with Griff's family for Scott's birthday. It was a nice night out and very yummy.

Happy Birthday you two!!!
