Halloween 2011

We had a wonderful Halloween this year.  We usually don't go all out for Halloween, so when one of our friends (Mandy) came up with the idea to have our boys (Luke, Canon and Colt) be football players and our girls (Emma Everett, Tera and Addie) be cheerleaders, it made it that much simpler AND so cute!! 

Our first Fall party was at the park in our neighborhood.  Since Josh was still in the middle of football, he wasn't able to go, but I decided that I would try to take both kids on my own for the first time.  It went great!  Addie slept in the baby bjorn the whole time and Colt stayed right by my side (such a good boy).  I got a couple of pictures:)  He loved the hayride and thought it was so cool that we passed by our house. 

Here is Colt playing with the little scarecrows they had stuck in the hay bales.

The hay ride...he really did like it!



When it was time to go, I told Colt he could ride up front with me (since our house was just down the street).  While I was getting all the stuff in the car and finally got to see what Colt was doing, this is what I found.  What a good boy!

Colt had also had a little party at school with all his classmates.  It's so funny watching all these 2 year olds together.  They looked so cute!

From left to right - Preston, William, Mia, Presley, Colt and Gracie (Sam is missing)

It is a tradition to take pictures of all our friends kids together.  Since we couldn't all get together on the same day, we had 2 photo shoots.

First photo shoot:

We only got a few pictures of Colt...he was NOT into this!

Left to right: Addie, Colt, Collins and Harper

Leslie made Harper's owl outfit (except the hat).  So cute!

KK also came in town and helped us a lot!!  Love this picture with Ryder!

Rebecca and Ryder

KK and Addie

Kinley...cutest pig I've ever seen!

These kids were EVERYWHERE!  They did NOT want to cooperate but I did get this cute shot of both of them.  Ava was suppose to be a witch, but refused to put on her dress and hat.

Collins and Kinley...they stared at each other for quite some time.

Julia...she eventually started running around with the other kids.

And this is what they did...Alex, Julia and Colt.

Jordan decided that he would put Ava's witch hat to use:)

C-ya!!

They were so funny running around...at least they had a good time!

Second Photo Shoot:

Ok, here are all the other football players and cheerleaders.  This was a little more successful with the Toddlers...because we bribed them with candy!

Football players - Canon, Luke and Colt.  Cheerleaders - Tera, Emma Everett and Addie

One of the boys got close to Addie and Colt came to the rescue saying "my baby Addie" and "saved" her.  So sweet.

Bahaha!

Tera, Emma Everett and Addie

Halloween night we went to the Moss's house down the street to hand out candy and trick-or-treat.  This has become a yearly tradition and is a lot of fun!  The boys went around just our part of the neighborhood in the wagon and after that we just hung out and ate.

Our cheerleaders:

Ryder

Josh with Addie

We were pooped afterwards.  Colt slept until 8 the next morning...unheard of...and Addie only woke up once!
