Halloween fun!

We have been having way too much Halloween Fun this week, and we haven't even had the traditional trick or treating door to door yet! Here are a couple fun highlights:

Blaine's Preschool had a little Halloween program...it was so cute. Here is his picture of
FIVE LITTLE PUMPKINS!!


Here is his class...lots of different costumes!


Me and my cutie Buzz Lightyear.


Blaine and Ms. Shirley


Then we had Jake's annual work party! Blaine decided to switch it up and went as Woody and Bullseye. And can you guess what Jake is??

Yep...Jake was DWIGHT SCHRUTE!!! from "The Office"...the resemblance is a little scary! I just slapped some wings on and that was my costume...and Aaron went as a cutie little penguin!


We also were able to make it over to Disneyland this week to enjoy the Halloween decorations one more time! Blaine had one more costume change back into Buzz! We don't even know for sure what he wants to dress up as tonight!

We love when the Haunted Mansion is decorated for "nightmare before christmas!" it's fun! we are having a great week and we hope all of you have a
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

SERIOUSLY!!!???!!

So i was driving to work this morning and i was stopped at a light behind this guy!! he put this on his car!! "Me drive fast? Ok Buy my gas!" so of course i had to take a quick picture...i was cracking up. and then when i passed him (because YES he was driving slow) it was this old asian guy...which explains the awesome grammar! I love people who made me laugh!

PuMPKiN CaRViNG

Fun family night carving pumpkins.

**first we had to scoop out all the seeds...(well, i scooped them out, blaine wouldn't touch them...they were "too oozey") **Next we cut out our design
**then we lit the candles..daddy did an awesome dinosaur. Blaine and i did the silly face!
WE ARE READY FOR HALLOWEEN!!!

BaBY aaRoN

So for those of you who have been wondering, or don't know...i started watching a new baby boy and i LOVE IT!!!! His name is Aaron and he is almost 3 months old. His cute mom NATALIE had to go back to work, so i have been watching him while she works. It has been so much fun and it helps that he is THE BEST baby! he is so mellow and his mom has him on such a good schedule, that it is pretty much like clock work. we love having a baby in our home. we love that we get to play with him and feed him and all the fun stuff without the late nights, breast feeding or labor!! we kind of got the better end of this deal! and blaine LOVES baby aaron! he sings to him and is always trying to make him laugh or smile. and he is always sad when aaron has to go home. Blaine truly will be a great big brother some day!
So CuTe!!! i LoVe THiS BoY!!!

Last Monday we made our annual trip to the Laguna Hills Mall Pumpkin Patch! and of course it was a Blast!! we were able to go with My sister and her kids, which is always fun! i swear it was FHE night at the pumpkin patch last week because we saw so many friend and other Morman families there, and that always makes for a good time!

What goes THUMP in the night.....





...apparently BLAINE!!!

Jake and i were getting ready for bed last night and i heard this loud "bump" noise. it sounded like Blaine had hopped out of bed and was going to come running into our room (like he does in the mornings)...but when our door didn't open, i started to wonder what was up. so i sent Jake to go check on Blaine and this was what we found! POOR LITTLE GUY FELL RIGHT OUT OF BED!!!! it didn't seem to bother him because he was still fast asleep..it was actually the flash of the camera that woke him up! :)

The newest addition to my collection!

I love my husband...last week for my half birthday, Jake surprised me with the Patrick Dempsey-Robert from Enchanted-Doll. Of course i love it!...and i've been asking for it for awhile! What a great man my hubby it...he puts up with my childish collections!

Aquarium and Cousins!

My sister was in town last week and we were able to do lots of fun things...thanks for all the fun! Blaine LOVES playing with his cousins!!
We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific

I loved the sea lions...they are so cute! can i keep one and take it home with me?!
and of course the sharks...sorry i couldn't get a good shot of them! But surprisingly the sharks were blaine's favorite. he's usually scared of big animals with sharp teeth!
