not this cute anymore!Millions of pictures.. I am going to try to keep the explanations short.. if I can.
Friends Party in Vegas. Way to throw a crazy party, Kelly! It was SO much fun.. and so insane! These weren't ALL of the kids in attendance.. whoa!
Painting Pumpkins with the YW. I don't think I officially announced (last July) that I was called to be the first counselor in the YW Presidency. Love these girls.. and the ladies I serve with.
Meeting Kennedy. We headed to SLC to see my newest niece (#25.. with two more on the way!) Tim and Rachel welcomed little Kennedy to the Clawson compound. They live in Michigan and we were so happy to see Little Bo Peep and the cutest little sheep for Halloween! She's got the famous Clawson blue eyes and long lashes!
Cousins party at my parents. Throwing leaves were much more exciting than carving pumpkins or playing Halloween charades. These kids just love to be together! Rach, will you send me that picture of Luke in the leaves? Aaron spent the day playing golf with my sister's hubbies and everyone was happy.
Trick or Treating with the Kimballs. My sister Kris was Dorothy (and her husband actually wore the Tin Man costume! Way to go, Randy!) My brother Kev came dressed as Mr. Incredible. He looks like him without the costume. The kids aren't in the pictures because they were too busy running from house to house to get candy. We were lucky to keep up. After Trick or Treating with one set of cousins, we headed to Debbie's and the boys went for another round while Aaron and I went to a party. Uncle Brent was a SCARY monster and had little kids in tears. Ben and Luke loved it. I wanted to take a picture of cute Deb in her florescent witch costume, but the battery died on my camera.. boo hoo.
These are my two fave pictures while trick or treating. Kris snapped this of Han and Leia.. it's not the best quality, but you can still tell that we're in love. and we are.
And during all the busy, crazy candy collecting, little Yoda slept in a stroller. *notice his hand still tightly gripped around his light saber.*
Party #3. Fran threw an awesome party on Halloween night.. she made homemade bread bowls shaped like pumpkins AND threw together family spider costumes. They were the hit of the night. It was fun to see old friends and prove to them that my white snow boots are still getting some good use.
GNO. We also had a girls night with the ladies in my family. So glad that Grandma June could join us. She even got her eyebrows waxed like the rest of us (except for Katie who is a baby :)
The car ride home was exceptional. The kids were awesome. We blasted Christmas music, played several rounds of "I'm thinking of something" (which always ended up being something from Star Wars) and overheard Ben tell Luke, "Well, I am sorry to rain on your parade, but it just ain't happening." They grow up too fast! Thanks everyone for a FAB Halloween extravaganza! Can't wait to do it again next year!

Holy Cow that is alot! I bet you are tired! I would be anyway! Glad that you all had fun!
you guys have WAY too much fun!
good thing you like halloween because that was non stop! It's always fun to see you for a sec! You look beautiful in that picture with cute new Kennedy. Were your hair extensions in? And my favorite conversation your boys had while you were driving was about who they are going to marry one day and what they are going to look like. They do grow up so fast!! By the way... you BETTER have voted for McCain today but I have a feeling you went with Obama.
I'm always jealous of your Halloween experiences. Mine just never measure up! Maybe that's because it's a one-day holiday for me, but a month-long celebration for you. Holy cow! Super fun. Oh, and you look H-O-T in that picture with your sister-in-law. Love the hair, love the lady underneath it.
Looks like you guys had a wonderful and happy halloween! I loved looking at all the pictures of your festivities. Go Grandma June for waxing the brows!
WOW. You didn't let that holiday get past you. I'm a little intimidated to see how you party at Christmas!
I love the picture of you and Aaron walking with your arms around each other- so in love. Cute cute pictures. I'm glad you made it up for Halloween- you know that party was all for you! I would never have done it if you hadn't been coming to town- so you're welcome. That's just how much I love you. I have to admit that I was looking for an excuse to wear a costume and also a reason to learn how to make bread bowls. Thanks for your recipe.
So many fun Halloween adventures. I'm certainly glad Yoda got his green light saber back after leaving it at our house. Joshua had serious plans to keep it.
Cute! Love the cinnamon roll hair, it's perfect!
people said you look so gorgeous in that photo with your new niece...i had to scroll back up and take a look-sey. they're right...work it.
i'm glad you love halloween. i'm glad it's over.
Looks like you guys had so much fun! We were in Vegas but you were in SLC-go figure! (We flew in to visit Brandon's parents for the week, and I thought we'd stop and see you on our way back home, but then I saw your post that you would be out of town! We were bummed to miss you this time around, but we'll be sure to catch you next time we're there!)
I LOVE your costumes! Brandon won't dress up, so I don't usually either. I think next year I just may do it without him. That way I don't be "lame" (your word, I believe :)
