Halloween 2011

Halloween 2011 was a fun one! We got to have Grandma and Grandpa Cambra here for the night of trunk-or-treat at the church. Payton was Darth Vader and Scarlett was Dora the Princess.

Darth Vader!

Princess Dora

The hair was a little weird, but black is the color of Dora's hair.

Sunday night we carved pumpkins as a family. Really Josh and I did all the work. Payton didn't like getting his hand dirty and Scarlett wouldn't even attempt to touch any of it.

Josh working on getting Payton's cut out.

The finished project!

Patyon's, Scarlett's, Mal's and Josh's

The kids did enjoy putting the candles in the pumpkins and seeing them glow.

Monday night we went to the Toutai's house for dinner and then some trick-or-treating. The Drinkwater's also came. The kids loved being with their friends. Scarlett thinks she is such a big girl when she puts her sunglasses on all by herself. 

Showing off the pumpkins right before we left.

Josh was a cowboy for the trunk-or-treat and also for Halloween night.

Josh wouldn't let me be nothing. He told me I had to dress up for Halloween. I just put this hat on and bandana and BAM I was a cowgirl.  

Out trick-or-treating with our friends. Lo was a nerd, and Melanie was a cat. Krista and Justin were college students.

Ryan was Captain America, Austin was the Hulk, Mapuana was a bumble bee, Mo was Thor, and Viliami was a dog.

Melanie's mom and dad joined us for some trick-or-treating. The kids did a really good job walking.

The were definitely tired by the time we were done.

Payton showing off the the candy that he got.

Of course about a 3rd of the way through Scarlett got a sucker and had to eat it. This kept her entertained for quite a while.

There were quite a few houses that were decorated really cool. The kids enjoyed seeing all the houses. 

This was the last house these 3 went to. Payton and Mapuana went back to the house and the moms walked with Ryan around the block. Ryan being the oldest was a lot more into it than the rest. They all had a fun time.

Del Osso Farm and Mini Golf

This last weekend we got to enjoy the pleasure of having my mom and dad in town. They both came Thursday night and left Sunday morning. It's not the easiest thing in the world to have them living in Utah, but it's life. I am very lucky because it works out that we get to see each other every few months because of one reason or another. While they were here we went to The Del Osso Farm. We go every year of course because they have lots of fun things for the kids.

Josh worked on Friday so he didn't come with us. I don't think he was really that sad that he didn't get to come.

Payton loved playing on the giant tires. I would say he loved that the most. He got so filthy dirty playing on them and in the dirt.

Tip Top!!!

I just love when these two hold hands with each other. They are just too cute!

Pictures at the train of course!

He refused to ride the bikes, but wanted to take a picture in the race car.

We took a short ride on the train. It was very nice and the kids enjoyed it. Grandma with Payton and Scarlett.

Me and my dad!

We went into the petting zoo for a little bit. My kids are obviously like their mother. They didn't want any of the animals to touch them. We were not in there for very long.  Scarlett did try to stick her finger in the chicken cages. 

We picked out 1 pumpkin because we had 3 at home already that we had been given.

Grandpa helped Payton push the wheel barrel since it was a little heavy for Payton to do on his own.

Saturday morning we all loaded in the car and head out to do some miniature golfing. We had promised Payton that for his birthday that we would be able to go when grandma and grandpa were at our house.

Payton crashed on the car drive there. I tried to hold his head up but he wouldn't let me. 

My kids had never been mini golfing before so this was a first for them. They had a nice time. Scarlett just threw the ball around and tried hitting it with the putter. 

Payton had a great time. 

My mom of course won my dad and Josh. 

We got really lucky cause at Boomers where we were mini golfing they had free pumpkin decorating during the time that we happened to be there. Payton got to pick a pumpkin and had a lot of fun painting it, sticking things on it, and just making it look good.

Scarlett was done at this point and wanted nothing to do with any of it.

Payton really liked the little paints!

Wishing she could leave and take a nap!

More glitter paints!

The finished project! It looks great!

It was a very nice day! We were so glad the grandma and grandpa could enjoy it all with us. We love having family come and visit.
