Halloween! ooooowwww!

Went around our new neighborhood trick or treating. The Allen and Parrish kids went Trick or Treating with our kids. They were all so cute! Dallas stayed home and worked on getting our attic completed so we could get the cars in the garage. It's getting cold out! we didn't have a s many trick or treaters come to the house as I had hoped. So we got stuck with a TON of candy. Good thing I bought the good stuff, eh? Layken was a monkey, Aspen was 50's girl, and Easton was the fat chicken because he was still to small to fit in the next size up costume. My parents were here and manned, (I don't believe this is a real word.), the candy for me while I was out and about.

Pumpkin Patch

Went to the pumpkin patch with the Allen's, went on a hay ride to seek out the best pumpkin's from the pumpkin patch. We got 5 pumpkins, and mine was the biggest. I like the big ones! "That's what she said!" hahahahahha, (Office, sorry, couldn't help myself.) Had A LOT of kettle korn and had fun looking at the animals. There was a bit too much dust floating around though. You can actually see the dust particles in our family shot. Later went to Terry's 30th unsurprise b-day party. Terry you're a stinker!

The DOL

I got up and got ready this morning because I realized that my license was expired by a week. After getting teased by my good friend Terry, he realized his license was expired as well, by a month! hahahahaha, Needless to say Terry and I made our way to the Do this morning feeling pretty darn good that by leaving 15 minutes before it opened was gonna give us ample time to get a jump start on the line. I think both of our mouths were hanging somewhere near the floor when we arrived 5 minutes early and saw that the line I had invisioned to be small was in fact, LONG. But we trudged out of the "Big Daddy" truck and got in line. I was number 16 and Terry was 17. We weren't sure how long we were gonna have to sit on those plastic chairs and I was REALLY hoping for a new photo! In the end, after a lot of BSing, we only had to wait for 40 minutes and we both got new pics, although Terry's looks identical to his old pic...seriously, what was the point of re-taking it! hahahahhahaha
PS My photo is a 10. I look HOT! hahhahahhaha, no seriously, I do! hahahhahahhaha

Weekend at Grandma's

We went to the fair this weekend, and had a great time. My mom and Layken road all the rides together. It was so cute! They had a lot of fun. We ate A LOT of fair food too! The kids got to ride the pony ride. Easton was really excited. He loved the horses!
Layken loved seeing the bunnies most of all. The kid stopped at EVERY cage to see EVERY bunny. It was hilarious! My mom and I tried to shuffle her through quickly but it didn't happen! hahahahahaha, so much for trying!
We stayed at the fair most of the day, from 10 'til 6 or so. We also entered Easton in the Diaper Derby. There were 5 qualifying heats. Easton won his qualifying heat. Each baby/toddler, from birth to 2, had to crawl across the stage without standing. First one to the other side won. Well, Easton was pretty good. He won after taking a break and whining in the middle of the stage half way to me. He pulled through in the end and took first, so he qualified for the championship race. Poor kid was drained by the time the championship race came. We tried to spunk him up, gave him a few swigs of our caffeinated pop. To no avail, the kid was ready for his nap, and did not even leave the start line. HAHHAHAHAHAHA, he did get a Veggie Tales movie, a coloring book , a sippy cup, and some pamphlets on how to talk to your kids about sex. It was his participation award!
Oh and the pics of Easton being pulled on the blanket by my dad are funny because Easton would run to that blanket lay on it and wait for someone to pull him around. It's a new thing he does with the girls.

Elsner's Wedding

Dallas' buddy got hitched September 19th. We went to Seattle from Thursday thru Saturday with our pals Johnny and Jill. We had a great time! These pics are from the wedding. I'm waiting to get the pics of us decorating the wedding car. They're hilarious!
We stayed with Elsner and his fiancee, Kristen, at their house in Shoreline. Hung out and played the Wii Friday waiting for the festivities to start. It didn't take long for Jill and I to get ready because we're so glamorous and have a natural beauty! So we had quite a bit of time to kill. What we did though is our 'lil secret! Let's just say, we'd be great spies! hahahahahahha
Friday we stayed at the Red Lion and Saturday we went to Ikea and Fry's an electronic store heaven!
