October was a great month filled with many fun things. It started out with Grandma T bringing over a fun Halloween gift for the kids. She found these cute pillow blanket combo packs and gave a different one to each of them.
Macie picked the all ghost blanket.
Carter picked the spider blanket.
And Landon got a really cute ghost, pumpkin, and spider blanket.
We got our first snow early in October this year. The kids were so excited that they had to get all dressed up and head outside to play in it.
This was Carter's first snowman that he built all by himself. He was very proud. But he came in very cold because he gave his snowman all his clothing. I was glad that they went out to play in the snow because from the look of this winter it may have been the only snow that we get.
All the kids put on their Halloween shirts on and I was able to get this really cute picture.
This is all the grandkids on a day that we met out at Grandma's house to do our annual popcorn ball making party. It is really fun having all the kids get together. They have really a lot of fun when we do things like this.
HURRAY!!! What FUN!
Macie and her Best Landon. That is what she calls him all the time.
Dave went hunting this year with my dad, my brother, and our nephew Collin. They had a great time. Dave shot his first Buck. He was so excited. He called me right after to tell me all about it. My handsome Mountain Man! Dave was the only one that shot a deer this year.
He was all prepared too. He bought these gloves that went clear to his shoulders so that he could gut the deer and not get anything on his hands.
For his birthday this year I gave him a new hunting knife that he was so excited to be able to use. I am so glad that he was able to go this year. He had so much fun.
Looks like a lot of fun.
Carter and Macie were really excited to see their daddy again. They thought the deer was really cool too.
Two very curious kids.
This is one of my favorite pictures. What fun.
Carter lost his first tooth. He was so excited. And right after that one came out the one right next to it got loose and came out within the next week. Now we call him Toothless.
Macie absolutely loves her dance class. The week before Halloween they could wear they costumes to class. She had so much fun.
This was a random night that Grandma T and Grandpa came over with a special cake for Carter and Macie. My mom was in the store and saw these cute Angry Bird cakes and knew how much the kids loved Angry Birds so she bought one for them.
A week before Halloween we went to Grandma Jan's and Grandpa's house to have a Halloween Party. It was fun to get together with all the cousins and see all the costumes. This is a game that Grandma put together for the kids.
Carter loved this because the donut kept hitting him in the face. He was laughing so hard.
Macie was pretty good at getting the donut in her mouth. But boy was she a mess afterwards.
A few nights before Halloween we went trick or treating at The Gables to see my grandma. The kids were having so much fun going to all the different Halloween parties.
Grandma loves the kids so much!
Carter's school had a carnival that we went to. It was the first school carnival that we have been to. The kids had a blast.
This was Macie's favorite game.
This was just a random picture that I thought was really cute.
Carving pumpkins is one of my favorite things about Halloween. The kids love it too.
It is fun as Carter gets older to have him be able to do more things on his own.
Landon's First Halloween. And his very first pumpkin.
My silly boys.
Here was the inside of Landon's pumpkin. Cute Boy!
Carter cleaned out his own pumpkin. He thought it was cool and felt really funny.
Macie loved helping with the things that didn't get her hands dirty. She is such a girl.
This was as close as she would get to touching the yucky insides. Notice how far back her hand is on her daddy's arm.
Landon kept hitting his pumpkin.
Very excited!
Her hand got in a little. But not enough to touch anything.
The finished product. We let the kids draw whatever face they want on their pumpkins and then Dave and I cut out what they drew. It is fun to see how they turn out.
They look great!
My cute Witch!!! She was so excited to be a witch this year.
Carter had a Halloween party at school. This is his best friend Alex. We had to alter Carter's costume for school because they couldn't wear masks. So instead of being Davey Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean, he was just a pirate.
Fun Carnival games.
This is his whole class.
Here is the clan trick or treating.
Carter and Macie getting their bag of treats from Grandma T and Grandpa.
Landon was Baby Jaguar this year. Here he is with his bag of treats from Grandma T and Grandpa.
Halloween 2011!!!
