Halloween 2011

This Halloween was a lot of fun! Pax was able to go trick-or-treating for the 1st time and we actually went "all out" for it. My mom bought Pax a lion costume and i knew right away that the theme would be Wizard of Oz. We made Marc's scarecrow outfit and my Dorothy costume is a little girls costume we FINALLY found at a store. Of course, trying to get costumes the day before our Halloween parties wasn't very smart! We also made my ruby red slippers! I left a trail of glitter everywhere i went! 

First stop, our ward Halloween party at our Bishop's mansion! 
Second stop was at our friends clubhouse. Thanks Meekers!

See my shoes!
Earlier that day, we went to a corn maze. We had a coupon but unfortunately it was a bad coupon. So because it cost an arm and a leg, seriously, we took pictures out front and left! Next time we are definitely going back to Cornbelly's.
Nikki and Ivan joined us!

Finally, on actual Halloween. We went over to the Shield's house so that Pax could trick or treat with his cousins, Tay and Tanya
We taught Tay how to pick up Pax and how to put him down!
Off we go!


Paxton collecting his candy!

Big ole' Frankenstein!
He carried his bag like this all night!

Then it was Daddy's turn!

Love my family!!

My Best Friends Bridal Shower

On October 15th, we celebrated my besties engagement with a bridal shower!! It was so much fun and I'm so glad we had such a good turn out. She got some amazing gifts and it was nice to spoil her!! We love you Cort! 

 Lemon poppy seed cake from Michelle's
 Fruit tray
 Table decorations




 The bride-to-be!!


 While Cort opened presents, i made sure to write down everyone's responses and compiled them on a list and read them out loud afterwards explaining to Cort that this is what she would say on her wedding night!! Either I'm extremely perverted (which i am) or the people there were!! Either way, it made for some good entertainment!



 I made these veggie cups!
 Chels made the chicken salad
 Gabby made this pasta
 Auntie Snorkle and Pax

Oak Glenn's Pumpkin Patch

While i was in California for Cortney's bridal shower, I made plans to hang out with my bestie Jen Parton AKA Gangsta. We decided to take the kids to the pumpkin patch. We got there just in time to have like an hue of fun before they closed! Afterwards, we went to dinner at the Pizza Chalet on Yucaipa Blvd. It was so nice catching up with my Gangsta and her dad. I call him Papa. Here are some pictures from the night!
