Halloween 2010

This year I decided to save a little money and let Triston be Buzz Lightyear again. Luckily he was ok with that. We have made it a tradition to go to my Dad's wards Trunk and Treat party. Aunt Mindy, Cash, Daxon, and Shara were able to come also. We ate chili and the kids had fun running around. After they announced who won the Chili cook off. They had all the kids go up on stage to show off their costumes. Then we headed outside to go trunk or treating. It was a little cold, but they kids still had fun. Aunt Kate was able to come after work.
I was able to find some time to take Triston to the pumpkin patch. Unfortunately it was really muddy, but he still had fun climbing on the tractors. We tried to go through the little corn maze that they had, but it was to muddy for us. Triston had fun picking out his pumpkin, unfortunately it was the end of the season, so a lot of the pumpkins were rotten. So we had to pick a couple before we found a good one.
On Oct 30th we celebrated Halloween, this year I decided to let Triston carve his pumpkin. He is into Mickey Mouse this year and I bought a Mickey Mouse cookie jar and I decided to use that as a pattern. He didn't like scrapping out the seeds, because it was to slimy. He tried to help me cut out the face, but he didn't last that long, so I finished for him. He was very proud of his pumpkin. I think it turned out really cute. I decided to carve a spider on my pumpkin, and I will never do it again. My hand still hurts.
This was the first year that I didn't take Triston to the in laws, and I decided to finally hand out candy and take Triston out Trick-or-Treating done the street. He was very excited, until he got cold. The weather was not very cooperative. It was raining and very windy. Triston only made it down and around the street. He wanted me to carry him the whole time. I think that if I would have covered his ears he wouldn't have been so cold. I guess we will try it again next year.
I saw a cute pumpkin pizza on studio 5, so i decided to make my own dough and make my own. It actually turn out very cute and it tasted pretty good.

Halloween Fun 2009

This Halloween we finally went to a pumpkin patch, which they were pretty much cleaning up for the year, but we took some pictures and picked up some pumpkins. I wish that I would have gone earlier this season, but for some reason I just never got around to it! The good thing was that Chris was able to go with us this year! Triston Loves his Daddy! He was a little more destructive this year he was trying to squash and kick the pumpkins instead of carry them!
Boys will Be Boys!
We ended up going Trick or Treating at the relatives! We went to Grandpa Mikes house, Claudia's (My dad's neighbor), Aunt Collette's, Grandma Swenson, Papa Dent and Grandpa Fred's house. We were unable to see Grandma Dent, because she went to the U of U game, but she came over on Sunday to see Triston in his costume. All in all we had a fun Halloween!
Our ward had a Halloween Party on the 29th, and I was cancelled from work so we were able to go over and had fun. We ate chili and hot dogs and played games and Triston got a bag of treats. We don't have Trunk or Treat. Triston had a hard time taking turns, but he found some toy tools in the nursery and played with them for a while. Everyone loved his costume! Many of the little kids played with is Buzz blaster.

My dad invited us to his ward Trunk or Treat party! They had a Chili cook off, which made him sick, luckily I didn't try any. They decorated trick or treat bags and had maybe 3 games for 50 kids. It wasn't very planned out, but Triston had fun anyways!

To infinity and Beyond!

Thats right Buzz Lightyear! Triston has been into Buzz Lightyear ever since we went to Disneyland in August, so we decided to let him be Buzz for Halloween instead of a cute furry animal. He Loves Buzz Lightyear so much, we watched Toy Story 2 at least 2-3 times a week. The other day he pointed up to a light in the sky and told me that it was Buzz Lightyear! Now every time we mention Buzz he pretends to fly! He moves side to side and says "Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh!"

Triston trying out his costume!
We got him a Buzz Lightyear Blaster
when we were at Disneyland.
Posing in front of our Halloween decorations.
I told him to stand there, but he had to
sit on one of the pumpkins.
Cheese!


Triston being Buzz! Firing his blaster!



The costume came with a purple hat, but he doesn't like it much.
It also came with the light up Buzz glasses.
