The best part about Halloween to my kids is that there are parties at school, at church, then they also get to go out and trick or treat in the neighborhood. Which means pretty much a WEEK of living in your costume!! Mady was the first one to decide what she wanted to be this year. She said I want to be a tiger, not a cute tiger...a MEAN tiger. Well she was the cutest mean tiger I saw at the party;) Ashlyn wanted to be a hot pink and black leopard kitty cat. Well who wouldn't want to??? Look how stinkin cute her hair is all crimped!!! She loved getting her hair done. Then there is Zach. The man that puts so much thought into his ideas every year. This year he was a vampire...but if you asked him, he was a vampire bat! He wasn't too happy that his white dress shirt didn't have black buttons, but you know I am doing the best I can right now so the white buttons just had to do! The kids had such a fun time at the church party. Mady was also SO EXCITED that aunt Deanna came and brought baby Ezra who we all love to hold! Wil ended up getting stuck in traffic in LA and didn't make it until the last 20 minutes of the party.
Last Saturday we took the kids to the park to play, then over to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins. My kids LOVE going to the pumpkin patch and look forward to it every year. Ashlyn and Mady picked the little pumpkins that are in the wagon with them. Zach however always looks for the biggest/coolest pumpkin he can find.;)
Every year the kids get SO excited for halloween. They start planning months in advance what they are going to be and everything. It is so much fun to see them so excited. This year we bought a haunted gingerbread house at target to put together for family night. Zach is my I'm serious...don't bug me while I'm creating my wall. Ashlyn and Mady are more like the more sprinkles and candy corns I can put on this thing the better.;)
Wil's little brother Tom and his wife Deanna had a sweet little baby boy on 10/1 and my kids have been so excited to see their new cousin. Tom is working close to where we live, so they drove over today to let us see their sweet little boy. He is definitely a little bradshaw boy. We all LOVE him! He is very cute and tiny and makes lots of fun little facial expressions. Here are some pictures of the girls just helping Aunt Deanna feed him and of Uncle Tom holding his little boy. So glad that they came over to let us hold and love on their sweet baby boy! Uncle Tom and Aunt Deanna were very sweet to let Ashlyn and Mady crowd all over that cute little boy...they even helped Uncle Tommy carry baby Ezra in his car seat out to the car!
Well usually we load up the car and all head up to UT for a family baptism or wedding...this time with Wil's work schedule being so crazy and Zach and Ashlyn in school I just jumped on a plane for the weekend. I flew into SLC on thursday and got to go spend the night with Wil's sister up in Ogden. We had a good time just visiting. Then Friday I got to go with my sisters and parents to my cousins wedding. It was fun to see lots of my cousins. Saturday I got to watch my nephew's football game, then go to Whitney's Baptism. It is kind of crazy because she is only a year and a half older then Zach which means we are getting close to that stage in life. I love Miss Whitney...she is such a fun girl that is just so sweet! Here are some pictures from her special day. So glad that I got to go be a part of her special day.
