Longest Halloween Post Ever

Okay, so this might not be THE longest Halloween post ever, but it is long. I just wanted to do one giant post about the last couple weeks. We had a fun Halloween and hope you all did as well.
We went to Cornbelly's for the first time and had a blast

Train ride

Little haunted monster

Sandbox type thing made out of corn kernals

Horse races

I realized that I really don't enjoy corn mazes. After a little while I made my family walk straight through the corn to get out.

This is what happens when you don't put the seatbelt on and then try to go past something that looks fun

Wooden bus

I took the kids and went with my cousin Jenae to Pumpkinland. Of course we got there at the same time as several school buses. Just our luck.

Evan's favorite thing about Pumpkinland.......chickens

Carving pumpkins at home

Shawn carved this pumpkin by himself. Jon cut off the top and Shawn did the rest. Yes, we let him use one of those pumpkin knives all by himself. I think he did a great job.

This is Shawn's pirate face

Mary Poppins and the chimney sweep. What is that guys name? Bert maybe? We had a Halloween party with my family at J.P. and Jessica's house. We ate a yummy dinner and played minute-to-win it games.

Outside for the pumpkin bowling

My dad took pumpkin bowling very seriously. He was not happy that he totally missed the "pins" the first time. In the bottom right part of this picture you can see the broken pumpkin thanks to my husband for throwing it so hard it hit the fence behind the pins. :) Hence, the next pumpkin was covered in duct tape.

One of the games: try to knock the cups off the chairs by twirling around

Evan didn't have a nap that day because of church and the party. He spent a lot of time just cuddling with Grandpa.

Game: try to eat the doughnuts hanging from a string without any hands

The group (at least the ones who dressed up)

The grandkids (Captain America, tiger, pirate, Bumblebee from Transformers, Girl Frakenstein, and Captain America again)

Getting ready to go trick-or-treat

Evan wasn't totally understanding what was happening, but he would go up to the door and just hold out his bucket

Cute little guys. Evan always just follows his brother around

Fall Family Photos

We had our family photos taken a couple weeks ago. I love how they turned out and I am excited to get them printed and up on the wall. I am trying to decide which family photo to get enlarged and framed.

Evan would only give a real smile after we gave up and let him play in the dirt

Witches Night Out

A couple weeks ago I went with some girls from my neighborhood to the Witches Night Out at Gardner Village. It was a lot of fun spending time with these ladies. They are hilarious.

Dancing at Gardner Village

We went out to eat afterwards. We are the only ones that wore our hats into the restaurant

Apparently this is the diet Coke witch and apple witch

The whole group

Witches Beware

While the men were at priesthood the girls in my family went to Gardner Village to see the witches and then hung out together until the boys were home.

Shawn asked me to take a crazy face picture of him, but I didn't hear him. When he told me again and I went to take his picture this is the sad face I got. He couldn't stop whimpering.

Now that's what he wanted

I don't love it when Shawn decides to carry Evan

My cute little boys

The group

Shawn would not sit any closer to this witch

That boy and his new favorite pose

BYU

We went to BYU with Jon's mom to check out all the new landscaping they did at the South end of campus. It looks awesome. I wish it had been like that when I went to school there. I would have studied in that area every day.

Hanging out with Grandma at the duck pond

The boys were sad that we didn't have anything to feed the ducks

One of the many new waterfalls

Watching Daddy mow the lawn like always

Sometimes I feel like I live in a zoo

A few weeks ago we went to the zoo with some friends. We only go about once a year so Shawn feels like it's his first time there every time we go. They had dinosaurs set up all around and Shawn had a love/hate relationship with them.

Shawn showing me how tall the giraffes are

and what their tails look like

There is not very much glass standing between my son and those tigers.

Evan was not afraid to get really close to the tiger swimming under water

But this is how Evan spent most the his time at the zoo
