Halloween 2013

Payson knew what he wanted to be for Halloween for months, Dillon changed his mind every 10 minutes.  I tried to encourage matching costumes, or a dual theme, but they both had very different ideas.  First we needed to decorate.  Payson was bummed that the neighborhood squirrels made a buffet out of our pumpkin!

 Costumes were finally decided on - Dillon would be Batman and Payson would be Darth Vader.  I few days before Halloween we attended a Trick or Treat Street with our friends Hannah and Jack.


















 Then the party got really crazy when the Rooney Family arrived - Payson was thrilled to see Hudson!




Next up was Boo at the Zoo, and Dillon decided he wanted to be Buzz Lightyear.  Poor Payson came down with a 24 hours stomach bug (that we all caught over the next two weeks), so he was not able to come to the zoo.















Finally on the Halloween, Todd was able to take the day off.  Dillon was back to being Batman and Payson decided to be a Jedi at school and Darth at night.  The day started with attending Payson's school parade. 

 Payson and his buddies - Josh and Sam.











 Jake and Lila have become our Trick or Treating Buddies and we were glad they came this year!










 After a few fun hours, we were cold and ready to go home to check out our loot!


October Photo Dump

With birthdays, anniversaries and Halloween, October is a FUN-FILLED month - so much craziness but a lot of laughter!



Dancing in the car is the best.


 It has taken 3 months, but Disney has finally made an appearance out of the basement.  She is not thrilled with Brewer, but she is getting closer to accepting that he is not going anywhere.
One of our favorite bed time books has turned into a song.


On a great fall day we made it down the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo - the giraffes are the best.




Cousin Fun TIme

Big NEWS - Cousin Owen is moving to Colorado.  The boys are so excited.  While Owen was out visiting and looking for a new house, it was perfect timing because Payson was off for Fall Break.  We did a TON of fun things!  First up, time to introduce Owen to Chuck E. Cheese.




 Next - time to try out a new pumpkin patch.















 Finally - playing was a ton of fun at Lollipop Park.





 Looking forward to December when they move back for good!
