October.

We had a super busy awesome celebratory October. We saw lots of friends, lots of family and had a great month now that mom is feeling a whole load better.
Here are a gazillion pictures.

Doing Pumpkin crafts.

Celebrating at the USU Homecoming parade.

Having a blast at the Boo at the Zoo!

Mini Golfing with Maddi and Eric.

Ethan is super into coloring. He has been getting very focused, and can draw pretty much perfect circles. It's awesome. He loves it.

 Eating at our favorite Island Restaurant

Carving pumpkins for the Pumpkin Walk!

This year we decided to let Ethan throw a Halloween party for all of his friends. It was a little crazy with 6 toddlers and their parents, but we had a blast! I'm so grateful for where we live and all the little guys that are so close to Ethan's age that we get to hang out with.

My parents came up and did the Pumpkin Walk with us. This is one of my very favorite Holiday traditions in Cache Valley, and Ethan was really into this year, which is what made it that much better!!!

 

Us with our Pumpkins. Horrible pictures, but at least we found them! So cool for us to actually take a really small part in the Pumpkin Walk this year. 

We drove down south for the annual Theurer Christmas party. It was loads of fun like always, even if Ethan was the only little kid around! We love doing this every year and have the greatest families. So grateful!

Ethan thought the whole point of the sucker pull was to get a sucker.....even though three of them have cash prizes. We will let him have this happiness. :]

After the party we went with my family to pick out pumpkins.
Ethan was in heaven.

We carved/painted pumpkins with Maddi and Eric. It was crazy messy, but a lot of fun. We have so much fun with them and we are glad they are around to keep us company.

and Ethan thinks he belongs to them too...

Our Stake does a really fun Trunk or Treat for all the little primary kids. We had a blast, even though Ethan was having a difficult time sharing treats with the Trick or Treaters.

Our Halloween day was crazy. Crazy fun. We started the day at IHOP for free scary face pancakes with all of our friends. It was loud, crazy, grouchy hungry toddler filled but it was a memory and lots of fun to make. :]

We then went downtown Main Street and trick or treated to all of the businesses. It was so fun, but it was HOT. We were stripping down costumes and dying in the sun! Such a bizarre feeling for Halloween day!

Following the downtown, we went to a local grocery store and got some healthy treats. We then tried to trick or treat at the mall, but one grouchy two year needed a little break.
We met up with dad at his office for the Conservice trick or treat.

 Troy's boss. Ethan was not a fan.

 After all that craziness, we piled into the car and drove down to our parents to surprise them for Halloween. It was so fun to be able to take Ethan trick or treating with my mom, even if it was super quick. We stayed up all night, missed a nap and had way too much candy but Halloween was awesome!
