Halloween

And the winner was...the lion!

Follow the yellow brick road...(Isn't Marc such a good sport? I always make him go all out with the costume I get together for him)Cousins Luke (as Nemo) and Jake

At our ward Trunk or Treat, we won best family costumes along with our friends the Polsons

It was my first time going to a trunk or treat...so I was excited to decorate our trunk--I picked such a happy theme:)

On Halloween we went to a party with our friends Kenneth and Tiffany--in excellent costumes as McCain and Palin

October happenings

Thank you for all your votes...it really did make my decision for me...stay posted for our Halloween pics where we are all in costume!

Here's what we've been up to lately...on Oct. 11th we had a Halloween craft party (it actually was the 2nd annual). It's too much fun being girls!

On Oct. 18th, Marc ran the Mud Run (we did it together 2 years ago, but I opted out this year...felt a little guilty when I realized a bunch of our couple friends were all doing it). But I felt like I practically ran it anyways from parking in a parking lot like a mile away, running late, and therefore jogging while pushing Jake in his stroller, carrying the diaper bag and our pack and play. We got to the entrance as the race started and I ran back out running after them to get the picture below...needless to say, I acted just as exhausted afterwards as all the people who actually ran the race:)

We hit up a pumpkin patch in Long Beach with our friends the Ashton's last weekend...

No, Marc does not have freakishly long arms, Kim was ducking down and holding Jake up:)

I was so proud of my man...he hit the bell both times

I think Kim and I enjoyed this train ride more than the babies...I'm not ashamed to admit I use my baby to go on little kid rides for myself
Jake's 1st pet! I won it in a carnival game. We named him Pa (we were at Pa's Pumpkin Patch). Unfortunately, Jake will never remember Pa, as he was floating on the top by the next morning. That poor goldfish...he never had a chance...I've always had a fatal effect on goldfish.
Another family pic

Here we are with Justin, Kim and Brody

Marc and I carved our pumpkins the other night...
I made Frankenstein, and he decided to make the face I give him when he's been watching football too long...

Mickey Mouse or a lion?

I can't decide if Jake should be a lion or Mickey Mouse for Halloween...leave a comment with your opinion to help me decide. If he's a lion then Marc and I will be Dorothy and the Scarecrow. If he's Mickey, then Marc and I will be Mickey and Minnie (which makes Jake Mickey Jr.)
