We always love carving pumpkins. This year we did it on Monday night, so by Saturday night they were looking pretty sad. But I think it added to the halloween spirit. Surprisingly, Talan didn't like getting his hands all gushy this year, but rather wanted control of the knife..surprise, surprise! Jaeden on the other hand was all over it!


The weekend prior to Halloween was our church ward trunk-or-treat. Here we all are: I was a southern belle, Chad was "Rich" (his dad), Jaeden was a cheerleader and Talan was Indy! We had a great time and the kids got their first of many doses of candy. I took second in the costume contest (thanks Aunt Esther!).We had a great Halloween with friends and family. The Tibke's and Magsamen's came over bearing food! Pizza, salad, pizza and more pizza! We fed the monsters and we were off! It was a great night for trick-or-treating, the weather was perfect! Talan was the infamous Indiana Jones. He loved his drawn on shaggy beard and everyone got a kick out of it. Jaeden was a cheerleader with pink hair...just in case you can't see it! She had been dying to have pink hair, and didn't seem to matter if it went with her costume. You couldn't miss her. Good looking group!
Aunt Jordyn and Jaeden Thanks for Aunt Robin and Uncle Dave, who stayed at our house to pass out candy. It was so nice for both Chad and I to go with the kids. I think they had more fun than we did...those poor trick-or-treaters, so sorry!
