Happy Halloween!
Luckily Jett was feeling much better the day of Halloween, so he was able to participate in some of the festivities. We went over to our friends the Darrow's for dinner and then the kids went out trick-or-treating. Jett didn't brave the cold weather for trick-or-treating, but at least we got to put him in his costume and take some pictures. I think I have the cutest Batman and cowboy around!
Batman and his side-kick....the cowboy!
How adorable are they?

What a handsome little cowboy
Gone are the days when I could tell Hoyt what he should be for Halloween. He had it all figured out in August this year - either Darth Vadar or Batman.

Trick-or-treating (Logan's big sisters are behind him). Paige was queen Amidala from Star Wars and Hoyt thought her costume was "awesome mom"!

Trunk-or-Treat
The night of our ward trunk-or-treat, poor Jett was sick with a bad cold. Luckily, grandpa and grandma Murray were in town and babysat so Ryon and I could take Hoyt to the party. We had dinner with Filer 1st Ward and then all the kids got to trunk-or-treat. Our friends the Darrow's set up a fishing game beside their car, and two families also got together and did a little haunted house. Hoyt had a blast!

We had a good time, but we missed having Jett with us. Taking pictures without him just didn't seem right!

Preschool Party
Halloween has become Hoyt's favorite holiday! He loves dressing up in costumes, he loves trick-or-treating, he loves carving jack-o-lanterns, and he loves all of the "scary guys" that come along with Halloween (until, of course, it gets dark and then he's scared!).
This year he was super excited for his preschool party. He couldn't wait to show off his new Batman costume and take pumpkin rice krispie treats to put in all of his friends Halloween bags. There were so many fun things to do at the party; face painting, cookie decorating, spider making, pumpkin decorating, games to play, etc. What a great morning at preschool!
Hoyt's class (he is the batman on the far right). His teachers dressed up like dogs - Hoyt thought that was pretty cool!
The mask stayed on for a few pictures and then had to come off so he could see!
Decorating pumpkin sugar cookies - he had previously been at the face painting table where he got a dragon and black spider painted on his face.

Playing pin the nose on the pumpkin. Hoyt was off just a little bit!!

I was lucky enough to help with the party - they put me in charge of the spider making table. We had lots of fun!

Pumpkin Carving
Hoyt always wants to carve his pumpkins right after we "pick" them, but I was able to hold him off until the Monday before Halloween. It has become tradition to carve our pumpkins for Family Home Evening the week before Halloween, so that is what we did.
Hoyt decided that he wanted a scary pumpkin, and Ryon tried his best to help him since I am completely useless when it comes to pumpkin carving! I usually get a few pictures of the finished product, but this year I don't have a single picture of Hoyt's scary pumpkin. It turned out great and was actually pretty "SCARY"....you'll just have to take my word for it!

Primary Program 2011
This year was Hoyt's first time participating in the Primary Program, and he was ridiculously excited! He got to wear a missionary tag and say "I know the scriptures are true". We were so proud of our little Sunbeam!

Pumpkin Patch
We took our annual outing to the pumpkin patch yesterday and had a fun time picking out our pumpkins. Hoyt loves to go in search of the "perfect" pumpkin and tends to find it in about two minutes. He found five perfect pumpkins this year and we left with three. Even though the kids were a bit cranky towards the end, and Ryon was irritated by all of my picture taking, I think the outing was a success. After the pumpkin patch we went to get ice cream cones - a great fall afternoon in Filer, Idaho!
Loving the pumpkin patch!

I tried to get a picture with the boys, and this is as good as it got!

We tried to coax a smile out of him, but he wouldn't comply!
I think pumpkin picking 2011 was a success!
