Oh Baby!

Babies Babies Babies.

Seriously EVERY one I know is either pregnant or just had a baby. And that is not even an exaggeration.

Here's proof:

Megan had Kole Travis on August 7th, 2012

(And Erin also pictured had baby Bennett in July)

The other Megan had Zoey Lynn on September 18th, 2012

Baby Girl Hunt is due in January 2013

And baby boy Hoffman is due in February 2013.

Believe me when I say that's just a few of the many babies that have recently been born or will be making their debut soon. I love it!! It's so fun to see so many people I love so dearly embarking on this new adventure!! Keep 'em coming :)

Halloween 2012.

It is no secret that Halloween is my favorite holiday. Well, I might just have a few favorite holidays but that's irrelevant. I absolutely love Halloween! I love the change from summer to fall. The traditions that begin. And especially dressing up!

Here's how we celebrated Halloween this year:

While up in Utah one weekend we went to Cornbelly's Haunted Corn Maze at Thanksgiving Point where we went through a few kid appropriate haunted houses, a haunted maze, and on a few fair rides. it actually was a lot of fun and the perfect way to kick off the season!

My work had a pumpkin decorating contest for the month of October. I was on that motorcycle trip the week they decorated the pumpkins so I wasn't going to participate, but last minute I put one together and was super happy with how it turned out. And apparently everyone else agreed, because mine ended up winning!! I was so proud. 

We went to the annual cookie decorating party over at Christy's house. 

My parents were invited to a costume party with some friends, and since I've never seen my dad dress up for Halloween I figured I better document it ;)

Don't know exactly what he was. He said he was a soul taker.

Matix had his preschool Halloween party, and loved it! It also happened to fall on picture day so his class pictures were taken in costume. I'm sure I will be sharing when I get them! 

And then the best part of Halloween was finally getting to wear our family themed costumes that I spent almost the whole month making from scratch.

Happy Halloween!

Murder Mystery: Fairy Tale

We also planned another murder mystery dinner while we were in Utah with a bunch of Devin's friends. Sean's mom offered to make everyone dinner so we figures a murder mystery dinner party was the way we should go! We went with a "Once upon a time" theme this time, and it couldn't have been more perfect. Everyone dressed up perfectly for their part...

Here's the Cast:

Sean's mom's dinner was amazing. It was like being at PF Changs with how many options she had made and it was seriously so delicious. She went all out. It was pretty amazing. We could not thank her enough. 

Kelsey won best costume.

Rachelle won most money.

Sean & Katie guessed the murder.

And Brandon won best performance!!

It was such a fun night with such fun people!!

Zombie Chase 5K.

Last weekend we headed back up to Utah for the 2nd time this month! We love Devin's family and like to spend as much time with them as possible. Some of Devin's friend's wives had decided to run in a Zombie Chase 5K that Saturday morning and invited me to join them. Best. Decision. Ever. It was seriously so much fun. The first thing I thought when they told me about it was that we had to dress up like zombies. I live for dressing up as anything, really. But zombies are especially fun. So we went all out...matching outfits, extreme makeup. The works. We even woke up at 6:30 a.m. to do it all. And it was fun! Then we got to the race (an hour late since we got a little bit lost) and realized that the zombies were supposed to chase the runners! Oh well. We looked amazing and people even took pictures of us. And not to mention the zombies stayed further away from us because we were that scary. haha. The race itself was way more of an obstacle course than anything else. Which was seriously so fun. Plus anyone who knows me knows that I am not a runner. Not at all. But I was all about this course. We had to scale walls. Climb through pipes. crawl thorough graves while avoiding chicken wire (and zombies). Maneuver through tires. Crawl across a rope bridge. etc. It was seriously so much fun! And the girl's I did it with made it that much better. I seriously love all of Devin's friends (and their wives). 

After the race we went and scared all the husbands at work and then ended with some lunch at Tacos Amigos where Kelsey was working...in her zombie makeup and all. :)

The I came home to this cute boy who spent the morning with Devin, eating Awful Waffle and riding the new Segway :)
