Halloween 2010

OK, So I know my photo skills are nowhere near many of my other relatives talent (they shall remain jealously nameless), but everytime I get the camera out near Leighton now, she smiles and immediately starts to crawl towards me! It's a "get it in one shot Rach, or the moment is over" kind of a thing. Even though this is kindof fuzzy, this photo basically starts off our Halloween. The Monday before All Hallows Eve - we took to our pumpkins with knives, scoops and lots of patience (with 5 kids - we need it)! Garrett found this seedling INSIDE of his pumpkin. Wonder where it would be in the spring if we hadn't of found it! We took it as a good omen of a great things to come!


Addison telling McKenna with great care exactly how just to carve that special pumpkin just to her specifications! Thank goodness McKenna is a great listener!
McKenna took about as long a break as she could afford. With state volleyball championships comming up in a couple of days, McKenna had a bunch of homework to do before leaving for a couple of days to cheer. Notice the scriptures! Couldn't be more happy to see those sitting out with all her homework too!

The end result! Addison has an A carved on the back of hers and couldn't decide which side she really liked the best. By this time - Leighton had given up the ghost (so you could say) and was sacked out in her bed fast asleep.


Again I found myself with a little one in tow to watch the annual Elementary Halloween parade. Thank goodness we had good weather this year again!

Finally after waiting for what seemed like eternity to the kids, Halloween night arrived with costumes, smiles and buckets (or in Garrett's case a pillowcase!)
Leighton the butterfly:

Addison the medival princess and Kimber the witch:

Garrett as Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black from Twilight). I've heard him called Garrett Lautner by a few of the girls here around town. Notice the full pillowcase! Now that the kids are getting older and going more with their friends, our Halloween night had several beginnings and endings.

Baylee the spy, Frecia as BamBam, Katlyn as a fairy, and McKenna the spy as they headed out the door to the costume dance:

Happy Halloween!
