Costumes...

Did I mention that we really like Halloween? Because we do and this is one of the reasons we do...our costume party at my sister house Halloween night! Shane and I always have been good sports and dress up and trry to be creative and have fun with it. This year my sister decided to give out awards for the top 3 costumes. The challenge was on...
Shane dressed up as a beautiful, bustful blonde chick (if that's possible) and I dressed up as his manly partner. We were in rare form. We both decided that we should stick to our own sex because we really aren't that attractive as the opposite. We had fun though! Shane brought home the winning 1st prize, an iPOD shuffle.

Leslie and Ryan came as caveman and acavewoman with thier little Millie as a pig. Ryan LOVES to dress up, can't you tell!

WOW! What more can I say but keep your eyes upward! Shea and Mindy were Adam and Eve- they were really funny! I just can't help my eyes...haha...

Here's a few of the kids.. Coop was Spiderman, Ryder was a pirate, Sage a rockstar, Shelby was a vampire and Asher was a rockstar too. Great costumes!

Here's a couple of my cousins and their friend. They were a reindeer, mad scientist and Kelsy pulled off the Little Mermaid costume, my girls all loved her and said they voted for her to win. It's fun that they come over for the excitement. It's just a great time to be able to laugh and make fun of each other and to be able to get away with it!

This is my mom and dad! That's right, Bruce and Jean. They are such good sports! They come dressed up every year and they did not let us down this year! They took 2nd and 3rd place. They looked great! They were my personal favorites!

Here's our cute little family. We are such an UGLY couple, don't you think!

And my cute little girls sitting on the porch after trick or treating. Halloween was great this year- no snow, a light sprinkle, but warm enough to not have to wear coats. The kids ran from house to house and we have TONS of candy here at the house. Now we'll wait a day or two and then in the garbage it goes, but it was fun while it lasted!!!!

More Halloween fun...

Libby was a puppy for Halloween. These are the best costumes- easy, low maintenance, and not much stress for mom. She loved having her little nose painted with whiskers and asked for it every day whether she was wearing her costume or not. She was so cute!

So one day she asked Sage for her nose and so Sage took her into my bathroom and got my make up and went to work. This was the end result. Not a cute little puppy nose but the entire puppy drawn on her forehead. Isn't that great! I was laughing so hard- love those moments!

Halloween kick off party at the Jensen's

(I can't figure out how to stop the underlining...anyone know how?)

We love Halloween! We love to dress up, eat candy and all the parties that come with it and it always seems to get kicked off with a great party at Nanny and Poppy's (Shane's parents) house! They are so great to have the kids over and play games, decorate treats, and trick or treat to different rooms in the house. We love it! Shane's sister Kendra and her husband and little Macey live in Arizona. We miss not having them close and especially miss them when we have these fun get togethers.

This is a picture of the girls going for the donuts on the string. Notice Shelby's tongue- she

wants that whole donut and she got it!

Here's Lexi the Devil and her cousin Batman (Henry)! These two are a riot together- it's all about throwing and hitting or kicking a ball. They are great cousins!

This is the result of the Mummy Wrap game. Lexi was dressed head to toe in toilet paper and looked so cute. These are games that we play every single Halloween and the kids love it! Thanks Nanny for a great party!

Of course the guys didn't want to miss out on the fun...

This is for you Macey. Blow up the picture Kendy and show Macey what Shelby made for her. We miss you Macey!

I love this next picture!! Nanny is notorious for her treats and all the kids learn at a really early age where Nanny hides all her treats. And Libby goes for them every time we are over there. This is Libby trying so hard to reach those green bins where she know there's something good inside!
