Halloween weekend!

What a great Halloween weekend we had!! First Jaron had his school dance at Burkholder on Wednesday. It was his first one and I didn't think he'd want to go, but he was excited about it. Luckily he had a great time! He said his friends tried to get him to dance with some girls (Yikes!), but he didn't want to (YAY!! so excited that girl crush stuff hasn't started with him yet!!) (Bummer that I didn't snag a few pics of them after the dance ... took home a few of his friends and it was fun to listen to them all chatter away about it. haha)
Thursday was Emma's class party and halloween parade at the school. I love spending time at her school. She has a great class and a fun teacher so of course, the party was great and so were the kids! After school we stayed after and helped set up and decorate for the school chili cook off and costume contest. Emma dressed up as a police officer this year, which Clint thought was so cool! He was on his way back to the station when we were still at the school, so he stopped by and took a pic with Emma. She was so proud. :) Emma even won a costume prize from her category (superheros!). Jaron was the white ninja from GI Joe and couldn't stop swinging the sword around. I was waiting for someone to get hit, but alas, everyone was still alive by the end of the night. Carson hated dressing up (he was a honeypot), and cried when we got him dressed, but by halloween night he like wearing the costume and hat. haha. Lily was a cat and a sassy one at that! I thought she looked so cute!!

Emma and her 2nd grade class. They are all so sweet. Emma is standing next to her teacher, Mr. Wolsey.

I'm so lucky to have such a great husband who is the greatest dad!

Em and Lil have attitudes in this one. Jaron just wants to get to swinging that sword again, and Carson thinks his sisters are hilarious.

Haha. Lily is so funny. I think Carson is afraid of her.

Like I said, Carson didn't want to dress up at all that night. We are such mean parents!

Didn't Clint do an awesome job on these! Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato from Veggie Tales (in case you have no kids and don't know veggie tales at all. haha)

We have such a cool ward! Friday night was our ward Halloween party and Trunk or Treat. It was a blast! We combined with another ward and it was HUGE! We especially loved that Clint's brother, Kolby, and his wife Janine, and their family came and were right next to us. Lily and Bela had so much fun, and Carson and Talin played with a ball in the parking lot for forever. Everyone had a great time!

Brother Nelson getting caught by officer Campbell (that gun is actually Sister Nelson's who was a cowgirl. She let Emma borrow it for the camera moment.)

Can you tell Kolby is an Eagles fan! haha. Kolby was the coach... gut and all (can't remember his name and I know I'll hear it from my brother in laws for not knowing), Talin was the player, and Bela was the cheerleader. I wish I would've taken a pic of Janine and Kira. Janine was the fan and Kira was the football (she's only a few weeks old). It was so cute!!

Lily and her cousin, Bela. Oh, they are so so cute! Trunk or Treating is the best!

After the Trunk or Treat Kolby and Janine came over and we watched a scary movie, "1408". It was really fun visiting til late in the night.

Saturday (Halloween), we straightened up the house, and then watched "Hocus Pocus". That evening Clint took the kids over the Gma and Gpa Campbell's to eat chili and show off costumes, while I finished up getting things ready at our house for that night. Jeremy and Rachel and their kids, and Josh and Jody and Maddie, and my parents all came over for a little get together. We had some chili and grilled cheese sandwiches. Rachel and I took the kids trick or treating (Josh, Jody, and Mad met up with us later), while Clint and Jeremy and my parents passed out candy at the house. It was really fun to take the kids in our neighborhood (which we haven't done for several years). After trick or treating the kids decorated cookies and divided up candy. :) We put on nickelodeon halloween shows for the kids and the adults visited for a while and passed out more candy until we were totally out. :) LOTS of kids were out that night. After most everyone left, Josh, Jody and Clint and I watched Mothman Prophecies. It was a really fun weekend!

Clint and I lookin' sexy! That is my Grandma Mangum's dress (Really!). It's made out of a carpet/rug.

Eating candy.

Jody (a butterfly witch??), Maddie (a giraffe), Josh (a gangster). It was so funny to watch Josh trying to keep his pants up all night while trick or treating. haha.

Grandma loves those grandbabies! Madelyn and Millie

Maddie gets a little jealous so gma was trying to show her how to be soft with Millie. It was entertaining. haha

Emma grabbing her escapee before he can hop over the wall!

Get him Emma!!! (funny video!)
