Halloweenie!!!!!!!!!


From our house to yours!!!!!


 Our "mantle" decorations.  I love, love, love decorating...and especially for holidays!


We had a great Halloween this year!  We celebrated all weekend long.  Here is Sam chewing on the pumpkin stem he broke off!  Ha ha




Cute Sam and Daddy with 1 of our pumpkins our next door neighbors gave us!


On Friday night (before Halloween) Mark and I carved pumpkins.  We have never done that since we have been married and Mark wanted to do it this year.  It was fun!!!!












 Mark's friend from his mission, brother Winder,  visited us over the weekend too!  We had so much fun having him visit us!


The pirate clan going to the ward Trunk-or-Treat!


Our cute little pirate!  He kept saying "arrggghh" all night if you asked him what a pirates says...too cute!


 Daddy and Sam...the swordfighting buccaneers!!!!!


The Trunk-or-Treat was a ton of fun, but too cold for this AZ girl!!!


Monday afternoon Sam and I went to the botanical gardens down the street from us for a Halloween party they threw just for our complex!  It was fun, but Sam was a little too young for all the stuff they did.  I didnt let him get out of his stroller cuz I didnt want to chase him everywhere, and he did NOT like that!!!!!!




Eating his cookie.......now he is happy!!


Halloween night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


Awww, look at that adorable pirate!!!!!




Mark took Sam Trick-or-treating for about 10 minutes, but he was more into running around than the candy!  I stayed home to hand out candy and there were a TON of trick-or-treaters, I loved it!!!!!!  Here is Sammy all tuckered out!!!!!



Happy Halloween everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gone to Arizona


A couple of weeks ago Sam and I got to go home to Arizona for a week for my Mom's 50th birthday!! We had a ton of fun. We got to see lots of family, friends, go shopping, go out to eat, and my Dad and I threw my Mom an aweseome "suprise" birthday party (she totally knew about it)! Well, the day before we went home, my Dad and Mom wanted to take Sam to a pumpkin patch, so they took us to Mother Nature Farms in Gilbert. Sam LOVED it!!! Here are some fun pics before we went and while we were there!!!

 He is obsessed with rocks


Sam and GaGa












Sam kept moo-ing when we saw the cow!


There's Papa!







I think Sam was in heaven riding on the hayride and watching the tracter!


The awesome guy driving the tracter let Sam sit on it!!


Hay maze!




All tuckered out!  Maybe cuz it was like 100 degrees!!!




Decorating his pumpkin

We Love Aunt Allie!!!!!!

A few weeks ago, fun aunt Allie came to Omaha to visit us!  WE had a BLAST!!!  Too bad I didn't download the pics she took while she was here, so this is the pic you get!!!  Ha ha!!  We can't wait for you to come again Allie!!!

Sam's Toons

I'm pretty sure my child is obsessed with cartoons....because you seriously can't get his attention when they are on!!!

Mommy's little helper


One day Sam came in while I was cleaning the kitchen and he saw me wiping off the counters.....and he wanted to help!!!! 

Too cute!!!
