Happy Halloween 2009

We had the never ending Halloween this year! On Thursday the kids wore their costumes to school. Braden and Kaylee Nicole and I went to watch the costume parade at school and then went back to both Brookie and Jessie's class parties that afternoon. Friday there was no school for Nevada Day and we had Trunk or Treat at the church. There was soup and salad and bread and then we played Bingo and then went outside for the Trunk or Treat. Saturday was actually Halloween and we got dressed up one more time and headed to the Safe Zone at Line Drive U and did some put put golf and then we went Trick or Treating at Nana and Grandpa's neighborhood. Now that Brookie and Jessie are getting older one or two houses doesn't cut it. We trick or treated FOREVER! But it was a geourgous night with a full moon. We didn't even wear jackets. Braden stuck right with the girls until the very end. Brent did bow out early with Kaylee Nicole. (The Ducks AND the Yankees were on!)The kids at the Trunk or Treat

Brookie was a LadybugJessie was a Vampire

Braden got a Power Ranger costume to wear this year but he decided he wanted to save it for the Trunk or Treat so he wore his Spiderman costume (from the previous year) to the school parade.

Kaylee Nicole was Snow White...she was definitely the hit of the school!

Wow...this is a big pumpkin!

Pumpkin Carving with the Woods

Uncle Jared and Auntie Bean Woods! They offered to take out three oldest for the night. They took the kids to the corn maze and then they went on the bounce houses and then to the petting zoo and then home to carve the pumpkins, eat pizza, and watch a movie. The night ended with a sleepover! It is sooo much fun to have Uncle Jared and Auntie Bean living so close! We love them!Auntie Bean and the three kidos.
