A WEEK of Halloween!!!

So the week of Halloween this year was just that. An entire WEEK of Halloween. It all started on Tuesday night for our Ward Halloween party and Chili cook-off (no I didn't make chili this year, the word is Laziness) They had a Trunk or treat before dinner. The boys loved it. I think they made two rounds before I said stop. Dani was content with her suckers she stole out of my bucket for the other kids. Dani was a cute Ladybug, Triston was Batman, and Zack was Thomas the Train (shocker I know right) Chris dressed up in his High School baseball uniform (yes it still fit, at least the pants did ) :) I decided on a witch at the last minute. Don't you just love the red hair :)

I went with Zack's class to Pumpkin land. He had a lot of fun.

He loved these mirrors.

House of Hay bales.

This wasn't actually the pumpkin he went home with. He kept changing his mind.

Ivy Hall celebrated Halloween with a costume parade. It was fun. There were so many creative costumes. Zack's teacher was Tinkerbell and Triston's teacher was Cinderella.

Namifiers celebrated too. Chris added the Zombie to his baseball player. Dani wasn't even scared. Then that afternoon we went back for the party.

 Yumm frosting!!

 Triston was out on the middle of the floor dancing all by himself to the music. It was so cute.

 She loved my hat. It fit her a lot better than it fit my big ol head.

 You love the hair right!!!

 On Saturday, the kids and I went to Gunnison for a party at my mom's to celebrate Halloween and Chloe's 1st birthday. It was fun.

 Yep that's my grandma all dressed up.

 Ruthy the football player.

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween now that it is almost Thanksgiving :)

Triston and Raking leaves at the Farm

 

I finally got some one on one time with Triston so I could get some fun shots of him. I have felt bad because it seems like I get more of Zack and Dani since they are here more while Triston is at school. He is such a silly kid. He LOVES to pose. Most of these are his creations. Love ya buddy. 

  

After I got some shots of Triston, the kids went outside to play and help grandma rake leaves. Little did they know they were actually working :) They had a blast. Even Danika got in to help. 

 Grandma was throwing leaves at Danika. She loved it. She just stood there and let it happen.

Zack turned 4!

Poor Zack, this year we had a party planned for him and we actually had to cancel it twice because the first time Dani was sick and the second time, Zack was sick. So I just called it off. He wasn't very happy with me, but I didn't want anyone else getting sick. We did take treats to his class the week before though. 

The kids in Zack's class.

 The treats!  Funny enough. I thought the kids would think they were fun, but some of them were actually scared of the Zs :)

 

The day that Zack was supposed to have his party. . .

 Spencer had had a birthday the week before, so he got to open a couple presents from the boys as well.

 We had planned to make Zack a Mario cake and I already had the cakes baked, and then Dani got sick and we had to cancel his party. So Zack helped me decorate this cake to have that night since Grandma and Grandpa Jensen, Sheri and Spencer and Mark and Camille were going to come over.

~Helpful Dani~

Danika was helping me get ready for a photoshoot with Chloe for her 1st birthday. She was being so cute I couldn't help but take a million pictures of her :)

~Baby Chloe came to visit~

Emily had some errands to run so she brought Chloe over to play. Danika was in heaven with a real baby to play with, even though Chloe is no longer a little baby. :)

Cheese!! it's her new favorite word when she sees a camera. She doesn't even have to be the one in front of the camera :)

Danika was so fascinated with Chloe. She played with her feet while she ate. She followed her around and shared her toys. And of course she had to give kisses.

Little miss Chloe, how I love your chubby cheeks! kisses!
