The Week of Halloween

The entire week of Halloween was truly eventful, busy, filled with miles on the car, and tons of fun! 

It started with a date with Dawson. 

Every year I look forward to my Tucanos free meal birthday card. J.D. was out of town and wouldn't be home the rest of the month... and so I took Dawson (plus he's under 6, so he was free too). 

 

 It just so happened to be a Halloween festival in the streets of the Riverwoods that night. So we watched entertainment, trick or treated to all the stores, and danced.

 The next day was Taylee's birthday party! Dawson and Kyson were fortunate enough to be the only boys with this huge group of girls! 

 It was a costume party, so Dawson dressed up as Iron man! 

They danced, watched Charlie Brown's halloween, played in the leafs, caught candy from the candy launcher, had cupcakes, and opened presents. Dawson had so much fun!

We then had our ward halloween party! We couldn't wear masks, so Dawson wore the Jedi costume that Molly and Lucas let him borrow. At the party they had a small spook alley. Dawson went through, and was laughing at the end. 

 The next day we headed to Brian Head! It was my birthday and J.D. wasn't going to work, but when our friend called us asking to clean carpets that day, J.D. asked if we could get a deal on a room because it was my birthday. We not only got a king suite, but we a meal compensated, and a massage compensated! It was a great birthday! I only had to help J.D. clean for a few hours, so Dawson swam and had a blast with my niece Sari and her boyfriend. 

This is the swimming pool rock waterfall!

 Here's Dawson pretending to be a shark!

 The next day we rushed back to Holden to spend Halloween there. We always stop and see Grandma Marjy (who's 98). Jessi was Dorothy, and Jetta was a clown. We love trick or treating at Grandma's because she always has the BEST candy to give out and is so happy to see us.

 They had a trunk or treat this year instead of a carnival. Here's Tilden and Dawson loading up!

 The next morning we headed to Kanab. My sister Amy needed work done on the house and we'd planned the weekend down with my family anyways. Luckily Layne had a football game! We got to wear our matching Cowboys hoodies! 

Dawson and Jessi enjoying their dinner, of course Dawson is a goof about pictures. lol!

 The next morning we headed to St. George for a Shelley Family Day. The girls did the cutest Thanksgiving craft while the boys went to Fiesta Fun. Dawson LOVED driving the go carts! 

Jori, Carson, and Mckynlee all came down from Montana (we were sad Danny couldn't get off work.) We celebrated Carson's birthday at the park that afternoon. Mckynlee wouldn't go to anyone, but DAWSON! She loved and loved and loved on him the entire time we were there.

 Carson is SO into sports (mainly football), so he had a football cake and had to wear his Steelers jersey.

 Dawson and Carson may not always agree, but they are becoming the best of buds. They copy each other and it can get kinda gross when it involves showing your food. lol!

 Carson seriously broke the pinyata with his first hit. It's amazing how strong this kid is.

 The next day we did family pictures, but that's on a different post because they turned out so amazing.
