Halloween

I know I am probably the last person in the world to blog about Halloween, but better late then never right? I feel like I have had just so many things going on that my blog was the last on the list. Here is our Halloween in a nutshell!

Clint and I went to a Halloween Party at our friends house. I really wanted to dress up like Meredith and McDreamy
(Clint wanted no part of that),
so we ended up just being boring ol' doctors.
Thanks Brandi, Steve, Emily and Tim for the fun party.
Tanner was a SCARY ZOMBIE this year!
Troy was a STRONG POWER RANGER!
Carter was an AWESOME NINJA this year!

Blakley was a Darling FLOWER!
Tanner and Troy had a parade at their school.

Rachel, Brooks, Carter, and Troy
Troy was so excited to take Brooks and Carter around the lunch room with him.

Carter had a party at his preschool.
He also was the Star of the Week.
His class got to learn all about him.

Grandma Terra came over on Halloween right before the kiddos left to go Trick or Treating!

Clint and Scoob took the boys out Trick-or-Treating,
while Blakley and I passed out candy:)
It was a fun Halloween!

Troyism


Here is the conversation Troy and I had today:

Troy: "Mom, I don't ever want to leave our house."
Mom: "You don't want to go to school today?"
Troy: "Nooooo, I never want to move from our house."
Mom: "You don't have to sweetie"
Troy: "What happens if I get married?"
Mom: "When you get married you guys can live in our house and me and daddy can move out."
Troy: "Good thinkin mom"
Troy: (pondering for a minute) "Will you take the XBOX with you?"

So innocent :)

Troy: "Mom, my leg is falling asleep."
Mom: " Are you OK? Does it hurt?"
Troy: "Nope, it's just barely closing its eyes."

So cute :)

Carter's Field Trip

Carter's Preschool went on a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch.
It was one that we haven't been to before.
Since Troy was off track, he got to go with us.

We got to hear some scary Halloween stories from a pirate.

They loved playing on the pirate ship.
They had fun running through the maze.
Troy went through too fast for me to get a picture.

Pumpkin Patch

My mom, dad and I decided to take the kiddos to the Pumpkin Patch. Clint really wanted to go but unfortunately got called into work that day. We missed him.

They had some really fun tractors that you could climb on.
The boys loved them, so did Grandpa Tom.

Say CHEEEEEEEZ!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN BOYS!

Florida

Anyone who knows my dad knows that his favorite places in the world are Disneyland and DisneyWorld. We usually go to one or the other about every other year.
This year, we went to

DisneyWorld
The Happiest Place on Earth
(or a least that is what Grandpa Tom says)
and we agree!!!


We arrived in Florida on Sunday afternoon. We eat a quick dinner at our hotel cafe and then headed over to Magic Kingdom for the night. It was such a hot and humid night!

DAY 2
Animal Kingdom

This is probably my least favorite park.


DAY 3
Hollywood Studios


This is our favorite park!
My boys favorite ride: TOWER OF TERROR
I think they went on it 12 times that day!
We even got my mom to ride it once:) She hated it.

Tanner, Troy and Carter got to customize their own lightsabers.


We had a very YUMMY dinner at an old 50's style cafe.

DAY 4
Hollywood Studios


We had so much fun at this park that we wanted to go again!

My boys chillin' with the Monsters Inc. characters!

We went to "Lights, Camera, Action" stunt show.

We went back to our hotel to go swimming that night.
The kids had a blast swimming in the dark.


They had fun practicing their one man pyramids!


DAY 5

Magic Kingdom and Epcot


We went to a "Winnie the Pooh and Friends" character luncheon. We got to eat lunch with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore.


After lunch, we decided to go over to Epcot.
We went on Soarin' which just happens to be my mom's favorite ride. We had to wait for over a hour to get on. Tanner gave Troy his lap to lay on. Thanks Tan for being such a sweet big brother.


Blakley found her own way to relax!!

Day 6
Typhoon Lagoon

and
Disney's Marketplace


My mom, Blakley and I went to Disney's Marketplace for a day of shopping. While the boys went to Typhoon Lagoon (one of Disney's water park) and then met us later for lunch. After lunch, we headed back to our hotel for some more swimming!

All of the swimming they did wore Carter right out.
Luckily, Troy's lap makes a great pillow:)
