Happy Halloween!

It's finally here!  Eaen has been so excited for Halloween this year!  I love seeing the sparkle in his eyes when he sees Halloween decorations or talks about being a Firefighter and going trick-or-treating!  It has been great!  He got to spend the day with Great-Grandma Winn & Grandma Jolene.  When I got there to pick him up after work, we changed him into his costume & let him trick-or-treat at the neighbor's, where his friend Hank lives, and then at Great-Grandma's.  Aunt Mimi also came up to see him and bring him a surprise!

Next, we stopped by Great-Grandma Woodhave's & Uncle Jeff's apartments.  Grandma told Eaen she was waiting for him!

We made one more stop at the Malmstrom's on our way home so he could trick-or-treat there.  He was excited to see his friends!


When we got home, I cooked and we ate dinner.  While we were waiting for dinner to cook, we called Grandpa Tony to wish him a Happy Birthday!  We had a few trick-or-treators come to our house before we headed out to join the masses.  Eaen was so excited to answer the door and give them candy!  I don't know if he was more excited about going trick-or-treating or handing out the candy to the kids who came to our door!  He was so dang cute going up to the doors.  After a few houses, he started saying "Happy Halloween!" as he walked away from the door.  He loved every minute of it!





He did get a little scared going up to some of the houses, but he did great!  After going down both sides of our street, we made a potty stop back at our house & refilled the bowl on the front porch.  When Eaen walked up to the house and saw the empty bowl, he said, "Aw, dang it!"  Also, when someone didn't answer their door, he said, "They're lost."  Hilarious!


Originally when we got home, Eaen said he was done.  But after he went potty, he was ready to go again!  We went down the street across from our house and found that one of our neighbors is quite the pumpkin carver.  He has 161 carved pumpkins!  It was awesome!  They are so detailed too.  He has some that are foam pumpkins and others that are real.  He keeps adding to his collection each year.



Eaen had gone to Farmington City offices today where these were on display until he brought them to his house for tonight, so he knew exactly which ones were his favorite and searched until he found them!  He told me I had to take a picture of the Mummy!


After we finished that street, it was back home.  Eaen dumped all of his goodies out on the table to survey his treasure.  He was more than pleased and happy to share with Mommy & Papa!  He promptly went to bed, but with every ring of the doorbell, he bolted to the front door to pass out more candy!  Not a bad Halloween!

Pre-Halloween

Eaen had his Halloween party at pre-school today.  He was very excited.  Miss Jennie had sent home a note last week saying they may get a little messy, so we decided Eaen would wear his Batman outfit to pre-school to keep his Halloween costume clean & ready for tomorrow!


After we got home, I made him some "monster fingers" for dinner.  He got such a kick out of it!




Unfortunately, Grandpa was going to WY for work tomorrow, so we decided to go trick-or-treating at his house tonight.  Eaen was very excited to go!  To our surprise, Jake & Brooke were there with Carson trick-or-treating too.  The boys were so excited to see each other!  With everyone in our family getting sick and them going on vacation, it's been a whole month since they have seen each other at Sunday dinner!

Go Utes!

Jayson now has the strep-throat I had a couple of weeks ago.  I took Eaen Trick-or-Treating at Station Park this afternoon. 
 
 

 
When we got home, Lindsey called with an extra pair of tickets to the Utes Football Blackout game tonight.  Eaen was even more excited to go to the game!  We took the Trax up from my office.  He was cheering with everyone and we had a great time!
 
 



Touchdown!

Finished Garage

My dad finished the garage.  Eaen & Jayson helped him to clean it up so we can start using it.  Once again, Eaen was eager to help!


We also had our first fire tonight in our new house!

Help

Eaen wasn't very happy that he couldn't help Grandpa work on the garage tonight, so he stood at the door and listened to Grandpa work!
