Halloween Festivities

Here's Nick and his friend Sylas at our church Halloween Party........

You can't just have one Halloween costume right?

Here's Nick at his school Halloween parade as a Clone Trooper

Halloween Night

Josh made the decision to attend the Oregon vs. USC home football game rather then go Trick or Treating. Matt got these cool t-shirts because all the home fans were to wear black for "Fright Night." These two were pumped for the game, and are heading out the door before I snapped this quick photo!

So, Nick and I went with his best friend trick or treating in a neighborhood behind his elementary school. We got a little wet going door to door, but had a BLAST!

Enough Already!

At our Ward Halloween party...........

Josh is from the 1950's & Nick is G.I. Joe

Teacher of the Year

Josh's fourth grade teacher, Ms. Donna DuBois won Oregon Teacher of the Year!! They came to Josh's school (Camas Ridge Elementary) and surprised Ms. D with this award! She will fly to Washington D.C. in the spring and be a nominee for National Teacher of the Year!

We are so very lucky to have her!!

Pumpking Carving

These pumpkins are very special this year because my mom sent us the seeds. We watched the seeds grow all summer long and turn into big orange pumpkins!! We felt a connection to these precious pumpkins.

This pumpkin Nick claimed as his own............

This large pumpkin........weighed in at nearly 70 lbs! We couldn't believe how big this one got!!

This is Nick's jack ol lantern, finally finished and lit by our front door.

Special Delivery

Guess who sent the boys one Amazing Halloween Package in the Mail?

It was filled with the coolest Halloween stuff I've ever seen!!

Oh, and the boys agreed!!

Inside each of the bags, Grandma had filled it with flash lights, magic kits, ring-pops, stickers, and much more!

Josh decided to take on the task of carving the Gigantic Pumpkin!! It took us two days to actually finish carving this thing!! The front reads, "BOO!"

Josh (on day two) still carving away.........

Halloween Package

How did they know exactly the kinds of things we would like?

Everytime we saw something else neater than the previous item!

Josh wore this Mask all night long..........it glows in the dark. I actually had to take it off of him at bedtime...........hilarious!

Opening the exciting package which just arrived!!

Thank You Grandma & Grandpa!!

We LOVE you!!
