Happy Halloween!

Halloween really turned out to be so much fun even though it was very stressful at times (I'll get to that later)
Saylor was the cutest little fairy for Halloween

I was Wendy and Ty was Peter Pan
Our Nephew Tra had his baptism on Halloween and since me and Autumn had just finished our cake decorating class we wanted to make him a cake. We had tons of really cool ideas for the cake but since we had another family Halloween party Friday night by the time we got home all the craft stores that carry all the cake decorating supplies were closed so our options were getting limited. We ending up making the cake into a pumpkin which actually turned out pretty cute. Decorating cakes is soo time consuming though so we were up until 2am finishing it. Tra also asked me and Ty to give the talk on baptism so I was stressing about that.
Ty was feeling left out so he wanted to make Tra a cake too. So we got up early Saturday morning for the baptism after getting NO sleep at all and we rushed out to Alpine being very careful with the cake and we walked in about 5 minutes after the baptism started and pretty much walked right up to give our talk. The talk ended up going well and things were great until we got in the car after the baptism to go to Tra's birthday party. For some reason Ty decided to try to drive, answer the phone, turn a corner and hold the cake all at the same time. And my cake flipped over and squished right into the floor of our car:( The damage turned out to not be that bad but I still was very sad after spending so much time on it...I was not very happy with Ty.
After the party we quickly went home to pack our stuff because we were having another party up at my cabin with my friends. I was stressing out because a few extra people decided to come last minute so I was worried we wouldn't have enough food. We ended up having TONS of food, we probaby could have stayed up there a week with all the food we had. So everything ended up turning out great and we had a really fun time up there. My friends are great, I love them so much and it was fun getting to know some new people too.
Sass and Matt making their haunted gingerbread house
Jules and Nate made the drive all the way from Twin Falls to be with us!
Me and Ty made an awesome spider house!!
We made delicious carmel apples!!

It was beautiful on Sunday so we went on a nice afternoon walk.

Eating donuts off a string...me and Sarah are usually the only ones that want to do it but everyone got really into it this year!! Jules and Bre were the most intense but I think Bre ended up winning.

We were covered in stickiness!Saylor made friends with Luke over the weekend, it was so cute to see them play together.
Saylor was so good all weekend, it was so weird to think that I was pregnant with her when we came up last year. Life has sure changed since then. Usually when our friends get together we can't stop talking about high school and all our great memories. This trip had a different feel to it, with two moms and two pregnant girls our conversations mostly focused on pregnancy and parenting. We weren't quite as out of control as we usually are. Its a new and exciting time in our lives, we're growing up and becoming parents!

You guys look so awesome dressed up. That is so great that Tyler dressed up with you and Saylor. I tried to get Tyler to do Harry Potter but that was a definite no go. I'm glad everything worked out to be fun!
