Happy Halloween!

Bryce hangs out while Stu carves our Jack-o-lantern.


Drew was excited to "help" with the carving. Note that he only had a plastic spoon!


Stu works hard on the pumpkin.


Bryce (Red Power Ranger) & Drew (Frog) had a fun Halloween party with some friends earlier this week.

Bryce & Drew hit the road.


Jim & Stu took Bryce fishing in the Jemez Mountains last week. They stopped off for some photos along the way.


Jim helps Bryce try to reel in the "Big One!"

We helped Grandpa Jim celebrate his birthday on the 20th.

Just playing with our new camera. How cute is this model???

So, no actual Halloween pics yet, but I wanted to catch up on a few others before the big night tonight! Bryce is VERY excited! We're headed to his preschool Halloween party this afternoon, and then our neighborhood is getting all geared up for Trick or Treating tonight. We're planning to block off traffic on our loop & just let the kids have at it! We'll post an update on that later this weekend.

This morning we got the festivities started by carving our Jack-o-Lantern and baking pumpkin muffins. The boys can't wait to put their costumes on later, and even Drew knows that this evening = CANDY!!! It's much harder to conceal that fact from the second child! I'm sure we'll have lots of fun.

Earlier this week we attended a Pre-Halloween party with some of Bryce's old playgroup buddies. It's hard to believe that they're all turning 5 now! We had a great time. Last week, Stu & Jim took Bryce on his first-ever fishing trip in the Jemez (hem-ez) Mountains. They had a blast! They explored some tunnels, red cliffs, the river, and a fish hatchery. They had a few nibbles but weren't lucky enough to catch anything. Bryce loved the experience, though, and seems enthusiastic to try it again sometime soon!

We hope everyone has a fun, safe, SPOOKTACULAR Halloween! BOO! :)
