It's Halloween and the Ghouls are Out!

I have to admit that I haven't done nearly as much leading up to Halloween this year with my kids as I have done in years past. However, that said, I feel like I'll catch up and make them walk around neighborhoods until their little legs fall off. Michelle can stay at home and relax while passing out candy.

Here's some pics to catch up from the last post and get us in that Halloween spirit.

Ella and Peyton at the pumpkin patch for pre-school.

Michelle and I before our Halloween party last weekend.

Our kids and the Hagen's kids at the same party place the next night. This place was an empty house in Alpine that the hosts were selling, and filled with Halloween decor everywhere. Very cool.

Conner carving it up.

The kids posing in front of the finished products. I chose the Berlin coat of arms this year.

Easton getting slimed in Ella's pumpkin.

Ella and Grandpa hanging out.

Tonight should be lots of fun. We're having a little eat before you treat with our neighbors out in our garage. Last year it went well, so Michelle and our neighbor decided to do it again. They're such go-getters. ;-P

ATTENTION - There are A LOT of new posts!

For those of you complaining that I haven't updated in FOREVER, please feel satiated that I've gone through and updated the blog with the newest, most relevant events in our family over the past month or so. August was boring... nothing there. But September and October are thrilling.

Surprise Kids!... We're going to Disneyland

We decided to surprise our kids with a quick trip to Disneyland last weekend. We got all the rooms and tickets, and then Michelle went and checked them out of school while I headed home from work. It was fun to do it like that.

Wait... who's that in there with us? Grandma! Yep, she flew down Saturday afternoon and surprised the kids for a second wham-o.

Ella and G-ma.

Me, Conner, and Grandma on California Screaming right before it takes off. Awesome ride.

Grizzly Rapids with the boys and Paula. East got soaked.

We're here to @#($ stuff up.

Cheez!

Brent and Sara had the reception first, then the temple the next day. Here we are at the Provo Temple.

Brent's Wedding

My nephew, Brent, got married this last weekend to a great girl, Sara. It was fun to get together with my family for the weekend and hang out.

Boys monkeying around...

Ladies doing weird things in the photo booth they had set up. This was a quick shot through the curtain.

The girls...

Deer Valley & Park City Trip

Michelle and the kids went to Deer Valley with her parents while I was in Europe. Looks like they had a fun time together.

Here's Ellie-bellie with her brothers on her first day of preschool. Let's not forget Mr. Rocko either.
