Dale Visit

We went up to Dale to visit Leilani's Grandparents for their 57th wedding anniversary last weekend. (sorry for the late post :) It's been awhile since we've had the chance to go visit, so it was really nice. Helen treated us all to Texas Roadhouse for lunch, which was yummie. When we got back from lunch, we took a few shots of the Great Grandparents with Matthew, but not as many as I was hoping for, before he became uncooperative. It is always a fun trip out to the country and always good to see them.

Halloween

We went over to Grandma Helen's tonight so Matthew could do some trick or treating in her neighborhood. He had a blast going from door to door, knocking and saying " A TAWEET" " TANK YOU" . He got so many compliments about how cute he was, even being invited into the house so others could see him. It was a Perfect night to go out, clear skys and a brisk 65 degrees, it was awesome. We only went down the block and back but he scored a bunch of candy, too bad his mean ole parents wont let him have any, maybe next year :D, but he did enjoy is own Pecan treats.

ROOAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We finally got to carve our pumpkins! Matthew picked the designs this year, Lightning McQueen and The Count from Sesame Street. Matthew had a great time digging out the pumpkin guts, he was a good scooper. He even tried to eat some. It was a lot of fun.

Father and Son Car Wash

Our car needed a little love and attention so with the weather being somewhat cooperative today, mean it wasn't rainy or 65 and windy, Matthew helped me change the oil and give the car a bath. Although he didn't get to help me all that much with the oil change part, he just sat on a bucket and ate his Pear, He loved the washing part. Well mostly he loved playing with the soap suds and spraying the water everywhere! he even almost got me a few times. By the time we were done He was drenched and the wind started to kick up, so we ran up stairs and ate lunch and took a well deserved nap

Trunk or Treat

Our Church ward had their annual Halloween party along with a Trunk or Treat for the kids. Matthew had a Great time getting the treats, although he did do better saying thank you than actually asking for them. But we're working on it.

We decided to be different and handed out Mini popcorn packs and box's of Rasins. Most kids were pretty stoked on them but I did get attitude from one little girl.

We have to say thank to Leilani's mom for Sewing Matthew's Lion costume. Matthew loved growling with it on. She still need to finish the mane but it was still awesome.

Matthew wasn't sure how he felt about the guy in the Scare mask

We don't drink a lot of soda but when we do it's usually an Izze which is a no sugar added "natural" soda. But recently while we were at Whole Foods we saw these little guys on the top shelf and we had to get it. We use agave to sweeten a lot of our foods from pancakes to Oatmeal. so naturally we were interested in a soda that used it and it didn't disappoint.

just thought id share

Another year gone
