Halloween!!!!

This year we got to have a whole weekend of Halloween fun! It has been wonderful seeing Halloween through Aubrey's eyes this year. She has been so excited!
Here's our little Trick or Treating cuties:

Friday night we went to Zoo Boo at the Zoo. It was so much fun and got Aubrey all ready for the Halloween weekend.

We went with some friends. This was the best picture I got of the girls. They where very excited to be in their costumes and to be together.



Aubrey did very good saying "Trick or Treat" and going up to some really scary costumes. It was cute because I told her it was all pretend before we went just in case it was scary so when she would get scared she would keep telling herself, "all pretend, all pretend"

Saturday morning We had Halloween doughnuts and carved our pumpkin.


Can you guess what we carved?

Snow White!
Saturday night we had our friends Wendy, Mike and Carrie over for pizza and then we all went to Trunk Or Treat at our church.

Our little monkey had a great time watching all the kids around him.

We met up with my friend Murun and her family. They had lots of fun activities for the kids. They did a Halloween costume parade and the limbo.

Aubrey and Ethan.

There was also lots of dancing.

Spencer and I had fun making all Aubrey's meals look like Halloween. Aubrey and I thought the hard boiled egg was awesome that Daddy made.

We finished our Halloween weekend with some good old Trick or Treating in the neighborhood.

Aubrey rang almost every door bell on her own.
Now that all the hard work is done Aubrey can sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor.

We had a wonderful Halloween this year!

Halloween Party

On Friday my friend Jessica and I put together a Halloween party for some of our MOPS and church friends. We had an awesome turn out, 8 moms, 11 toddlers and 5 babies. Jessica provided the very cute festive food and I hosted it here at our house and did the activities. All the kids had a blast. When we were decorating Aubrey keep thinking it was her birthday and when everyone left she cried. It was a fun day!


The kids could not get enough of the jump house.

Enjoying mom time while the kids played.

Decorating Halloween cookies.

Then we made candy bracelets.

Guess what Aubrey was for Halloween.......

Ever since our trip to Disneyland last year Aubrey has loved Snow White. She was the only character that didn't scare her. When we said good bye to the beautiful princess Snow White said "Ta ta" and that has stuck with Aubrey ever since. That is how she said good bye for a while then all the princess names where Ta ta. Slowly she has started calling them princess but Snow White has remained Ta ta. She has a huge collection of all the Disney princess but she always goes straight for Snow White. So of course Aubrey wanted to be
Snow White.

This is Aubrey's Snow White collection:


Look how happy she is:

This year Carter is a Monkey. This is perfect for him because when we are holding him he tries to climb up to our shoulders. His costume is very cute and it keeps him nice and warm.

PetSmart Halloween Party

The weekend before Halloween Aubrey and I took Deuce to the Dog Halloween Party at PetSmart, I know kind of a silly event but I thought Aubrey would like to see all the dogs and it was a fun activity for just her, Deuce and I to do. This year we bought Deuce a new costume, a frog at Old Navy but I thought that since there wasn't a lot of new costume to choose from this year that might be a popular one so I pulled out the bee costume which he wore 3 years ago in hopes of being unique. When we arrived to the party there were about 10 other dogs and 7 were bees! One even had the same bee costume, oh well. It was fun and Aubrey got a yummy cookie and had a great time exploring the store and checking out the hamsters and mice.

Del'Osso Family Farm

We went on our annual trip to Del'Osso Family Farm for our family Fall celebration this last weekend. The whole family went, Papa, Nana, Titi Laura, Uncle Scott, Aunt Pat, Daddy, Mommy, Aubrey and Carter. We had a blast! It was a bit of a rainy day but we didn't let it rain on our parade. We got to do so many fun activities. It was wonderful being with family and seeing Aubrey run through the pumpkin patch. We think that she must have picked one of the biggest pumpkins. Carter had a great time being carried by someone all day and seeing all the kids running around. We took a couple snap shots before we left.


Aubrey rode the pony this year! Yay! Last year she was a little scared but this year she jumped right on. This picture is very special to us. My mom has one of my grandma, herself, me and my sister on a pony all when we where about 2 years old.


Aubrey LOVED getting her face painted. This was her first time and she was so excited. It is a pumpkin with Tinkerbell

Our traditional picture in the corn. We have one of Aubrey from the last three years now. Carter gets to start now.

After the pumpkin patch we went out to dinner to celebrate Papa, Nana & Uncle Scott's Birthdays.



What in awesome day! Thank you everyone! We can't wait for next year!
