Pumpkins and Halloween

We decided to PAINT our pumpkins this year instead of carving them. The kids had a great time being creative. We had our family night and then carved our pumpkins. It was a fun night.



Let the painting begin!

Cooper was concentrating very hard. He wanted to paint a green and brown pumpkin.

Of course Tren painted a BRONCO pumpkin!

Bailey's had to be pink! She wanted to do a "scary face" so we went with a VAMPIRE!

Ryann's is just plain CREATIVE! I'm not sure what it is...but it's pretty CUTE!

Mine is a SCARED pumpkin!

Here are all our creations out in front of the house! We had a fun time!

HALLOWEEN

Ryann was baptized today! (Pictures to come) After her baptism we went home and got in our costumes and headed for the church. We had a big dinner with friends and family, and then the kids went Trunk-or-treating. Cooper and Bailey went as a cowboy...I mean "Outlaw" and Cowgirl. Cooper wanted to be a "mean" cowboy...should I be concerned?

The three cow-people!

It's pretty scary, but Tren does the NERD thing a little too well! He was so cute!

NERDY!

Ryann and Lexy wanted to be a two-headed girl! They call themselves "Twisted Sisters" They were so stinkin cute!

Mark made homemade root beer with dry ice! This is my Uncle Ben's recipe and it turned out DELICIOUS! We made root beer floats for dessert. What fun!

For dinner we had several kinds of chili ,cornbread, and salads! All our friends and family made this Halloween/baptism celebration GREAT!
