Halloween and things...

The pictures in this post are not in order at all! I tried but oh well! We had a fantastic month of October and Halloween! Although Josh has been extremely busy with school, we were still able to go to Santa Rosa for a quick weekend to celebrate Paula's birthday and see our cousins that we hadn't seen for awhile. Jackson of course loved it and I wish we lived closer to his cousins. He is still talking about playing with them. We also went to the pumpkin patch, the ward Halloween party and then trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. It was so fun to watch Jackson this year get so excited about the candy! He is growing so fast, such the little boy! Now for the pictures!!

 Jackson of course wanted to be a dinosaur (he's obsessed with them). In this picture he is trying to catch crickets! Always on the hunt for a bug!

 Katelynn was our little butterfly...she celebrated zonked out on the floor! I did wake her up since she had to come around the neighborhood with me to take Jackson trick-or-treating.

 Although Jackson doesn't look thrilled (he hardly ever will smile for me in a picture), he was so excited!


 In front of the "Halloween" house a couple houses down from us. We tried to take him by it daily to prepare him. He did just fine!
This picture is far away, but it's an action shot and if you look closely you can see the excitement on his face! Love it!

The gang at the pumpkin patch

Josh and his sister Arianne

All the cousins (and Jackson being a dinosaur)

Josh had to go to a thing in San Diego for his school. He got to work with athletes with prosthetics. It was actually a really cool experience and we will be going again next year!

Katelynn  tried to eat the grass

The same weekend we went to Newport to attend the blessing of our good friends, the Recalde's baby boy


We took Jackson to the pumpkin patch that is close to our home

Always loves the petting zoo







 On our way up north we stopped in to say hello to my grandparents and also my aunt and uncle


 Although Katelynn is crying in this picture, I think it is sweet of her and her aunt Arianne

 Didn't realize these were rotated until now, oh well! :)

 More pics from the pumpkin patch with cousins


 Our ward Halloween party




 We carved our pumpkin on the back porch. Jackson was so proud of the finished product!

He wouldn't help me clean out the pumpkin. I made him touch the gooey insides and he gagged to the point I thought he would seriously throw up!!
