All Hallows Eve

FINALLY...So you know how this blogger upload goes and I am just now getting pics up from Halloween! We had MANY different costume ideas for the girls, but with Mae and her obscession with "HOCUS POCUS" and witches, we finally decided on a witch for Mae and a black cat for Lucy. On Halloween we went to our rec center where they had a carnival type thing with a little path for tricker treaters and then we went to our ward's Trunk Or Treat, which they do down a street where a lot of our ward members live, so the kids get a little bit of actual trick or treating feel, but the cars of other ward members can park along the curb, too so it is a really good idea! The Fam dressed as: Coby as a Benglas fan (real creative), me as Deron Williams---our's were makeshift costumes if you can't tell, Mae as a witch and Lucy as a black cat.

This is Mae doing her witch cackle...don't worry, her dad doesn't think she is funny at all!

Don't ask me what's she doing here, but whatever it is--it is CUTE!

Let's just all say what we are thinking...she IS the cutest witch in the world!

...and Lucy's gotta be the CUTEST cat, sorry mom--she even beats Abby!

Just in case you're wondering, Nope, I did not make this costume--thank you Ebay!

You have NEVER gone Trick or Treating, til you've gone with a 1 year old!

The carnival was not so exciting for Lucy...

BUT it was for Coby!

At the end of the night, Mae finally got to eat a piece of CANDY!!!

...and Lucy went back to sleep!

We had a great time with our girls this Halloween! Next year will probably be even CRAZIER with TWO of them running around---and I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Witches Night Out!

The night before Halloween, Vernal decided to throw their first annual "Witches Night Out"--Yes, they copied Gardner's Village and No, it was not that cool..., but with Mae LOVING witches like she has, we decided to get her dolled up in her hat and venture over to see what the fuss was all about. There really wasn't much to do besides drawings and all the witches were dancing around, but we still had a good time with our Mae-Mae! This is her realizing there were WITCHES there...that is the face she makes when she says "witch", although I really can't describe what it sounds like when she says it.

We are SOOOOOO excited for the witches--just look at our faces, you can tell...


Mae with all the grown up witches...and Nana. She really wasn't so sure about them when she was actually surrounded by them, or it might have been the picture. She does not do so well with group pictures for some reason...


I'm happy to be with my little witch, whether or not it was pretty lame!

Mae the "Witchy-Poo!"

And don't you worry, Lucy was not left out, but she did sleep the whole time all bundled up--that's right no witch hat for her just yet!

Oh, and P.S., Mae BAWLED when we decided to bail on the witches!

1st Snow! and randoms

A few weeks ago, we woke up to it snowing. Mae was fascinated watching it out the window, so when Baby Sister went down for a nap, me and Mae went out to play.

At first she wasn't so sure it about, but it grew on her pretty quick!

Trying to catch the snow

And now she is LOVING it!

And here are some randoms from that same day...

This orphan child with the bangs in her face is showing you her "new funny face!"

And here is that same child, don't worry, just picking her nose...real lady-like! She NEVER does that, but with the camera out that day, it was in full force.
