Happy Halloween Ya'll...


Well, there's nothing like Halloween to kick off the fall season. Rylee dressed up as a black cat this year. As you can see in the pictures we made sure that she was barely visible to anyone looking out for a tricker treater on the road. Those are some awesome parenting skills... Seriously, what were we thinking. Good thing I was walking with her. But the fur on that costume is slightly reflective...maybe. I'll be smarter next year. But she does make a very cute kitty.


The night before Halloween, we have a tradition of carving a pumpkin. Next year Rylee is going to attempt her own pumpkin... and I'm moving on to carving 3-D pumkins. After carving teeth all day, this was a nice break.


It took a while to convince Rylee to get her hands dirty, and even when she finally did, she kept going to the sink every five minutes to wash her hands. Every one who is close to me will completely understand where she gets this from.



This year she still wanted my help, and this is what we ended up with. She picked out the pattern, scooped out the guts and complained that it took me too long to carve it out. Typical.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!! :0

It took some convincing to get Emma to stick her hands in the gross goop. Your pumpkin turned out awesome! I just whipped out the knife and ended up with some fast cheesy pumpkins. As for your parenting skills at least she kept her clothes on while she carved pumpkins... (check our blog) Have a Happy Halloween.

You know, we bought a pumpkin, and haven't gotten around to carving it. Unfortunately I don't think it will get done tonight either! Oh well. She sure is a cute kitty!

Hey Rylee, You make such a great kitty. Jack would love your costume.Hope you had a great Halloween. Rylan what a great pumpkin a lot better than the 1440 pumpkins that I got to play with on Halloween Day. I think everyone in Kaysville had soup on Halloween. Wish you could have come trick or treating here. We have lots of candy left.
