Happy Halloween

Last Night we had our ward Halloween party and trunk or treat. It was a lot of fun. We got to dress up and enjoy Halloween for the first time in a few years. They had a lot of fun stuff going on at the party. We had a chili cook off, the young men and young women set up games for the kids to play, we had the trunk or treat, and a costume parade. I made us some Star Wars Themed Costumes. 
Timmy was an Ewok.
 Greg was a Jedi
 
I dressed up as Princess Leia
 
 When we decorated the trunk we went along with the Star Wars theme. We found some Star Wars cookie cutters on sale at Williams Sonoma and made some salt dough Star Wars ships. We hung them from the top or the trunk. We put some lights in the back and then we had a Death Star jack-o-lantern. a light saber jack-o-lantern and a Storm Trooper jack-o-lantern and had Star Wars music playing in the background. It was awesome! It was so awesome that our trunk took first place!
 
 


Grammy Came to Visit.

A couple of Fridays ago we drove up to Reno to pick up my mom from the airport and Surprise Grand Pappy came too. My dad was supposed to go to Moab and my mom didn't want to stay home by herself so she decided to come visit her favorite grand baby. Apparently my dad's trip was cancelled about a week before hand so he came too, but they kept it a surprise. We started out the trip with lunch at Denny's and then Grammy and Pappy got spend a lot of quality time with Timothy. ON Saturday morning I made some Caramel apples and while we let them sett we drove up to Carson so Pappy could have some In-N-Out and then we headed to the Corley Ranch and Fall Festival. The corn maze out here is ridiculously easy. It's only 2 acres and  caters to little children. We got to see a pig race while we were there. We took a lot of pictures and Pappy and Greg even won some pumpkins at the giant sling shot.  We didn't do anything else to exciting before my parents left on Monday which is okay because it was just nice spending time with them. So we stopped at Round Table Pizza for lunch on Monday and then dropped Grammy and Pappy at the airport. We had a lot of fun with them and it was great to see them.
We then kept ourselves busy for the rest of Monday up in Reno. We figured since drove up that far we might as well hang around and eat somewhere for dinner that we don't often get to eat. We started out the afternoon at  Deseret Book Store which is apparently like right next to the airport. We had no idea it was there, we just stumbled upon it looking for a gas stations. Then we walked around the mall and Kohl's and then went to Texas Roadhouse  for dinner. It was a good way to spend the afternoon.

11 Months

Happy 11 Month birthday Timothy! Or not the poor little guy doesn't feel so good today. He woke up around 7 this morning like he normally does so I got up an made a bottle and went in his room to get him and change his diaper only to find a large puddle of puke in his crib. He went strait to the tub. Then he drank his bottle and then puked again. Not a great start to the day.
 On a happier note, we found him an extremely adorable flannel shirt on clearance at Old Navy. It was perfect for a fall photo shoot so I took him in the front yard and snapped a few photos of him with our pumpkins. Adorable!
