1st Haircut Wow! We finally did it. His hair was so long, and it still kind of is. I told the lady to trim it. I guess I thought she would cut a little more on top. He looks like he has a bowl cut. I took him to Cookie Cutters, which was really cute. He loved sitting in the car and watching a movie.

OCTOBER has come and GONE! I can't believe we are already in November. October was filled with fun Halloween activities, and I'm so far behind on posting anything. I thought I would post only a couple of my favorite pictures. That turned out to be a lot. CORNBELLY's This was my first year going but my sisters go every year. My kids loved it! We went on opening day, which is only $4. I thought it was going to be crazy busy, but it wasn't. It took some time in the corn maze, but we eventually made it out. And they had this awesome 3D spook ally that wasn't to scary for the kids. I think that was my favorite part. Looks like we'll be going next year. My Grandmas 80th birthday was on the 17th. We got together for a home cooked breakfast, and cake, hee hee. She was really happy to have her grand, and great grand-kids around to help her celebrate. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grandma Harri!
Putting up Halloween is always fun, taking it down sucks! Kids like to help decorate, but they hate to help put it away. Oh well! They had a blast putting up these window stickers. And Trevin had a blast ripping them off! Finally, with some of them ruined, we got them up.
Usually are tradition is to go to the pumpkin patch in Springville and scour the fields for the right pumpkin. This year since that road is closed we went to the RED BARN for a Hay Ride, and different shaped pumpkins. It was really fun, and the kids thought it was cool riding behind a tractor. As we got on, the wind picked up and it started to get dark, so not so many great pictures.
HALLOWEEN COOKIES! I love making, and decorating these. They are fun and you can do many different things. But I swear, every time, you can't wait to be done. And wonder why you began in the first place. But they are yummy and fun, so that's why we keep doing them.
We grew are pumpkin patch again this year, and just like last year we come out with a bunch of small pumpkins. Daddy gutted all of them, and Mommy carved most of them. The kids did their 1 or 2, and so did Manny. It's sad that they don't last for very long.
My mom's FAMOUS Halloween party! This year we didn't go all out with the SPOOK BARN, but it was still really fun. She had a treasure hunt, and a swinging doughnut thing, where you try to eat the doughnut without touching it with your hands. It was so funny watching the kids, and some adults, going round and round trying to catch the doughnut between their teeth. I wish I got pictures of everyone, but there's some it missed.
HALLOWEEN night was awesome. We went up to my sisters house for trick or treating, and the kids had a blast. Gavin was running from one house to the next, and we were barley able to keep up. Of course that didn't last for long. About an hour later they were all pooped out, and ready to head back home. Her neighborhood is great. A lot of them really haunt up their houses, or dress up for the kids. I wasn't planning on it, but when I got to my sisters house and she was, I decided to throw on some things she had.
