Halloween 2011

All ready to go and looking gorgeous!

So excited to show off his costume to Season!





The only picture I could get of them together! They were such an adorable duo.

Stopping in at Grandma's to say hello and run around for a little while.

Stockton: "I'll figure this out and get us a drink Rusty!"
Rusty: "I'll take a coke!"

Stockton: "I think if I push this it will work for sure..."
Rusty: "Hurry up! She's coming!"

"Maybe there's a coke in the garage..."

This is how the cheerleaders dance!

At the end of a fun night checking out her candy! Her eyes look so sleeeeepy  :)

Halloween was an awesome day! Josh had left the day before for a 3-week business trip, so I had the kids by myself this year. I got the kids ready in the morning, stopped by the Bryson's house to show them their cute costumes, then headed over to Mimi's work for some serious trick-or-treating through Sandy City Hall. We were so sad not to have Olivia and Brody with us this year; Liv was in school  :( The kids had a blast and got TONS of candy--double and triple helpings from the Ute fans! Haha. Mimi was so kind to introduce them to everyone, and take time out of her day for us--we LOVED it!

Following Mimi's work, we headed over to Grandma's house to show her the cute costumes and play for a while. I tried to get more pictures of the kids in my mom and dad's photogenic yard; Annabelle posed great, but Stockton had to be photographed on-the-go! Luckily, we scored some pretty darling shots of each of them. Little Rusty the Cowboy was there too, and he and Stockton were so cute together! They walked around and tried to get drinks from the Coke machine. I hope they will be best buds one day!

To cap off a wonderful, fun-filled holiday, we headed over to Nikki and Eric's house for some dinner and trick-or-treating. Dinner was delicious. My sister-in-law, Nikki, makes the BEST cider you'll ever taste! She hands it out to the parents when they come trick-or-treating with the kids--so nice and thoughtful. Eric and his friend were so nice to take the girls out; Annabelle had a blast hanging out with Liv and her friend, Angelina! Stockton was SO TIRED and was done for the day, so I worked on getting him to sleep while the the guys took the girls to get started. Stocky had a rough time and didn't want to sleep in the pak-n-play, so after about 30 minutes of trying to get him to sleep, Mimi, Papa, and Nikki helped to watch him while I went and caught up with Annabelle. THANK YOU!

Ohhhhhhh I am so glad I got to spend a little time with her out there! She was absolutely, completely adorable, and looked so little compared to all the other kids running around. Eric and his friend took the girls all over! It was awesome. Annabelle filled her bucket to the brim...again!  :)  She was so cute going up to all the doors! There was one boy, about 10 years old, who was dressed up as a big ice cream cone--Annabelle didn't like that at all! She kept on talking about "it" and if "it" were at a house, she wouldn't go up to the door until "it" was gone. It was cracking me up! I really loved being there with her, being able to devote all my attention to her. She is such a unique and precious little girl and I love her. Stockton was still awake when we got back, but happy nonetheless--Stocky is such a happy little guy most of the time. Annabelle and I were happy to see him again and we headed home soon after we got back. It was a peaceful ride home with my two little snoozers in the back. What a GREAT Halloween! Thanks for a wonderful time everyone!
