Halloween Parties!!


What a fun weekend we had!!
Dunn Family Reunion
Saturday was the Dunn family reunion up in Oakley that JD's sister Angie put together. There was tons of different things for the kids to do. Kaden loved making a rocket and watching it blast off into the air. After dinner there was a talent show and every family did a little something. I was impressed with how brave all the little kids were. We were the last ones to go and had planned on JD teaching everyone how to line dance to be our talent. But after seeing all the other little kids on stage Kaden wanted his turn in the spot light. I turned on Getcha Head in the Game and he showed off his booty shake and the coffee grinder it was so cute. Don't worry since Kaden was up there Ty was right beside him. JD was great in teaching everyone how to line dance.

Halloween Party with the Martin Clan
Sunday we had a get together at my Aunt Debbie's house. All the little kids dressed up in their costumes and after a special prayer for my Mom we ate soup and yummy homemade bread from my Grandma. All the little monsters did a little parade for us adults and then a scary guy on stilts showed up and the kids loved chasing him around trying to find out who it was. It was a lot a fun and I appreciate my Aunt Debbie for putting it all together. I am so grateful for such a great family and all the love and support that has been given to us. Kaden all dressed up for the party!! ( I hope his hair goes back to blond/white)

Pumpkin Carving Bonanza
Monday night Marci & Jason, Amanda & Colby, My Mom & Dad, Penny and the kids came over for some yummy dinner and some pumpkin carving fun. Marci and Jason being the rookie carvers pulled through with a really impressive Captain Jack Sparrow. My Dad brought a drummel to get through the massive pumpkin him and Brittany were carving. Kaden loved using a knife to make random holes next to his pirate ship. We had a little explosion in the oven and smoked ended up filling the house a few times, but the cinnamon bread was still good after all was said and done. After we got all the kids to bed us younger adults (the parents pooped out and went home) stayed up till almost midnight carving the most challenging pictures we could find into our pumpkins. It was so much fun to have Marci and Jason with us it has been way to long.

That looks like so much fun. I think that I need to start a Halloween Party tradition with my family. We are sort of party poopers when it comes to Halloween. Kaden looks unrecognizable as the Hulk, that was awesome! What is wrong with your mom????? Is there anything that I can do? I love you!!

I can't believe that the Hulk is Kaden it doesn't look like him. How cute. Thanks for posting so many pics of the family and the things you are doing. Looks like you guys had fun as well on Monday carving pumpkins. That is one massive pumpkin Dad & Britt had. Have you decided on the Boston Marathon?
Have a Happy Halloween.
