Happy Halloween!

Ok so it's not Halloween yet, but we have been having fun getting ready for it! We went to the pumpkin patch and farm to get in the mood with Tim's parents, Uncle Mel, Amanda's Mom and Tim's sister Sarah and her family. Shyler and her cousin are finally starting to like to play with each other and have a good time! We are happy for them and can't wait to see if they will be good friends as they grow up. We are also excited for our little guy on the way. We just found out Tim's sister who is only 6 weeks behind us is having a boy too! We will have two little guys running around that will also be best buds! We hope that the other 2 sisters are able to have one so we can have a round of cousins within a year of each other, that will be so fun!!!

The two farm boys so excited to see an oliver, bringing back so many memories for them!

Why is Shyler squating like that? We're not sure but she does that a lot lately for pictures, she is so silly!
Shyler got to try out her costume early at the Trunk or Treat for Tim's parents ward. I was at a baby shower so I didn't even get to see how cute she looked and I also had the camera, thank goodness for camera phones. Shyler also discovered the joy of the trunk or treat and the candy that comes with it! She loved her glow in the dark braclets one car was passing out.

What happens with Shyler in the bathroom while mommy is getting ready for the baby shower... somehow she slipped them under the lid. Didn't know that was happening I thought they were just on top of the toilet... needless to say we are down a few hair elastics and barrettes.

After her fun time at the Trunk or Treat she was so excited she didn't want to go to bed, and like most nights tries to procrastinate... well Sat night she found her headband and we couldn't stop laughing at how silly she looked and the cheesy grins she was flashing.

On Monday we braved a rough cranky morning and took a trip to Colorado Springs to visit Shannon and Travis and Dre and Lexi met us down there. It was fun to visit with old friends and to watch the little ones interact. I think Travis is afraid of Shyler and all of the hugs she tried to give him, and Lexi wished Shyler would stop following her and getting in her space. Shyler has a problem with personal space sometimes. I wish they were more cooperative while I took pictures, but they loved giving hugs goodbye

And Lexi waved goodbye to her too

Last night we had a chance to carve our pumpkins! This is the first year we actually both carved our own! We had Tim's sister Karen over to carve with us. Shyler wasn't so into it, but maybe because she had an upset tummy. Mine is on the left with Tim's in the middle and Karen's on the Right. We have learned that we like the templates but we are not smart enough to follow our dots that we poke so we outlined the dots with marker so we would know where to carve. It worked out great and will have to be something I do from now on!


Happy Halloween! We hope you all have a great weekend!

I LOVE that she squats for pics. I think I would laugh every time I took a pic. I really don't think that would get old. Well, maybe when she got old it would get old. I guess it wouldn't be so cute if she was 16 and still doing it.
