Happy Halloween..

Our Halloween was fun but so busy! On the 30th I was up until 3 in the morning (so I guess on the 31st), so I could finish making Kade's costume. Because of this I had a very difficult time getting out of bed. We had to get up early though because Aaron's costume had yet to be decided upon... We had decided to be Mario and Luigi, but then our plans were foiled when we couldn't find overalls for Aaron. So we got up as early as we could manage. We went to a costume store and we decided Aaron would be Michael Jackson. Let me tell you, it was amazing. I will be the first to admit that he wasn't a clone of MJ but the costume was incredible! So we got the hair, the hat, and the glove, then we ran to DI to get the pants and jacket, then we ran again (not literally, but we were trying to hurry!) to a fabric store so I could buy the necesseties to finish the MJ transformation. We finally got home and I had like an hour before we needed to go so that we could get to my aunts house and Aaron's job interview....

I hurried my fastest, finished Aaron's costume, and we took a few pictures of Kade in his costume before we left. We got to all the places we needed. We also went to Target to get some sun glasses just to complete Aaron's comstume. We went into Target, all in our costumes, and I had a hard time standing up because I was laughing at Aaron so much! It was hilarious. He kept doing signature Michael Jackson moves as well, which didn't make it any easier on me. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. There were tears....

Finally after Aaron's job interview (yes he got the job! hooray!) we headed to Eagle Mountain to Colin and Sarah's house for some trick-or-treating with the children, and yes we took our 6 mo old trick-or-treating. No he can't eat candy yet, and yes we will be eating it for him!!!

P.S. on Halloween, never take Main Street in Lehi to Eagle Mountain. It took us 2 hours to get to Eagle Mountain, it is usually a 30-40 min drive, yesterday it took us 2 hours!

We finally got there ate some pizza, hit some houses, and then Kade was exhausted and hungry so we left so we could put him in bed. When we got in the car we gave him a bottle, which he ate quickly and then fell asleep. Yay! We then decided to stop by Erin and Chris' quickly because they were having a halloween party that we had been invited to, and Kade was asleep so we wouldn't have to deal with an unhappy child.

We went to Erin and Chris' for a little bit, Kade woke up, so we got a picture with Kade and Ryan. It was pretty cute, except it looks like Kade is eating Ryan's arm, and Ryan is crying. It's hilarious. I love it. We didn't stay for very long at either house but we had fun. When we got home I finally got to sit and relax. What a day!

Aaron and I had a fun photo shoot with Kade yesterday. We were joking that every time I have a studio shoot, Kade has his pictures taken too....but it isn't a joke, it's true. Today in his "photo shoot" I took almost 200 pictures. I need to quit. This kid will NOT be able to complain that we don't have any pictures of him as a baby.... Anyway, we were looking at the pictures we took today, and we were reminded of another picture we had seen in the past. Obviously they aren't exactly the same, but they are pretty similar. Aaron wanted me to post this because he said it was too freaky not to share. Enjoy!

Scary

I promise we are better parents than this....


We were taking family pictures last Saturday for my cousin Lisa, and we decided to do some on the train tracks. Madie kept saying, but what if a train comes, all while we were walking to the tracks. So I told her, I don't think that trains use this track very often. Less than 1 minute later, no joke, we hear the chimes warning us of an oncoming train. Aaron grabs Kade's carseat from out of his stroller (note picture) and we move as quickly as possible to a safe spot just next to the train tracks. It was frightening, that's for sure. You could see the tracks bow while the train was going over them. I was sure it was going to derail and kill us all right there... Poor Madie tried so hard not to cry after that, she was so scared, but we ended up getting some pretty cute pictures there. Here is one for a preview...

Pretty Campus

Aaron and I were at school yesterday and campus is so pretty! I had to get a couple shot!!!

Pumpkinland

Some of my friends and I decided it would be fun to take our babies to a "pumpkin patch". We had Marisa with her little boy Corbin, Kathleen with her little girl Lucy, and then Kade. We also had honorary mother Erin. No child yet, but still just as fun. We missed our friend Ana and little Alex, but the little kiddos got to have play time while we had fun talk time. I took a lot of pictures, and realized tonight that I am a retarded and forgot to take one of all us girls. I guess we will just have to have another play date....

We liked these ginormous pumpkins and wanted to put the kids next to them to show just how ginormous, it was too sunny and they didn't want to look at the camera, but you can still see just how huge the pumpkins were....

Lovestruck.... It's actually hilarious because a lot of the time Kade was reaching for Lucy, and he tried giving her kisses, and then when we were taking the picture in front of the Pumpkinland sign he was laying on her shoulder.....

I liked this one because they are in order of age. Corbin 1 year, Lucy 10 months, and Kade 5 1/2 months.

We picked out a cute little pumpkin.

I love this shot, courtesy of Gerin.

Happy Birthday Mees!

Today is Marisa's birthday and all of these pictures are ancient! They are all from her wedding or right before her wedding almost 3 years ago! Anyway, we don't see each other very often, but I love her guts! I hope you have a great birthday!
