Goodbye October...

We had to show off our costume to Grandma and Grandpa Coon so we wore it again last night and went trick or treating at their house and then stayed for dinner. 






For some reason this picture is a little blurry but we had a good time last night and Preston loved helping pass out candy to all the trick or treaters. I had left candy out on our bench in the front of our house for the trick or treaters since we weren't home but when we came back last night our pumpkin was punched in and Preston's pumpkin was gone and so was all the candy. I'm guessing one of the kids ignored my "take one please" sign and stole it all and then some other kid got mad that there wasn't candy and punched our pumpkin and took the other one. Rude! Anyways October is gone and its November! November is a fun month for us...We have a lot of birthdays on the Coon side including my sexy hubbys on the 11th and then of coarse there is Thanksgiving and my parents are coming here and I am SOOO excited!

Happy Halloween!!!...

Last night was our ward Trunk or Treat. Since Spenc was sick and couldn't come with us my sweet sister Corinne came with me. Shes the best. Seriously. Anyways Preston pretty much hated his costume when I first put it on.


Look at him crying and trying to tear it all off...is it mean that I just laugh looking at these pictures haha





After we took some pics at the house we left to go Trunk or Treating. Preston was way happier once we got there and stopped trying to tear his costume off. People would give him his candy and he'd put it right in his bucket :) They also had a blow up bouncy thing that he played in. Corinne took our picture while we were there


Then we got home and I let him pick out a candy out of his bucket and he picked a sucker...he's not good with suckers and drooled all over himself. 


You can see all the drool all over his shirt...gross haha. I have to wash that so he can wear his costume again tonight at Grandma and Grandpas. Last night was fun even with the tantrums that were thrown haha. He definitely was the cutest spider I have EVER seen!

Pumpkin Carving...

Instead of carving Preston's pumpkin I decided to have him color it with washable markers and then let him put stickers on it. He had such a good time! 


Good thing we got washable markers because he also thought it would be fun to color his highchair as well :)


He thought it was sooo fun to put stickers on his pumpkin


And this is his finished pumpkin! Isn't it adorable!?

Danny and Alyssa came over last night and we carved out pumpkins! Alyssa found some cute patterns online that we printed out and they were a little harder then we thought they would be haha!



I look seriously horrible but just disregard that fact and enjoy are cute pumpkins :). Danny and Alyssas was a cute Frankenstein and ours was a skeleton. I actually totally broke ours but pinned him back in place with some sewing pins haha!

Our Skeleton in the dark :)


Our cute pumpkins :) I'm glad Spenc was able to do a little of this with us because I'm so totally sad that I've got to take Preston trunk or treating without him tonight :(. Last night was lots of fun though!!!

ER...

A couple of days ago Spenc was telling me that his chest hurt. It kept hurting for a couple of days and then he started feeling sick and last night he felt REALLY sick. Well he woke up at about 3 with sharp bad pains in his back and he was having a really hard time breathing. At first we thought maybe a lung had collapsed because he was having all those symptoms and so we headed to the ER cause that could potentially be really bad. Well they took an xray and it turns out he has Pneumonia. 


   This is Preston in the waiting room...the kept climbing up the chairs and on to the coffee table to talk on the phone. Isn't his outfit so fashionable haha :)


This is in our room with the IV. We got there around 430 or 5 and didn't get to leave until 9 this morning. Preston was actually a sweetheart the whole time...flirting with nurses and exploring and watching cartoons. He had some blood work taken and everything came out good so we are home now and he just needs to rest and take his antibiotic and pain meds. Poor Spenc...

Pumpkin Patch 2010...

We finally made it to a pumpkin patch last night! The weather was perfect and since it was a Wednesday it wasn't busy. We had a great time! Here is some of what we did...


Me and Preston rode in the cow barrels again...he liked it so much he cried when we had to get out :(


We looked and talked to some farm animals...these geese really did talk back to Preston, it was pretty funny


Preston ran around in a (hay) maze...he got himself out without any help haha he just ran around laughing and chasing other kids in the maze


My scarecrows :) I love how Preston's not paying attention and Spencer is making a silly face. I seriously am in love with my boys


There was a playground we attempted to play on...other than the slide I think everything else was broken haha


Preston milked a cow :) 


Preston saw some kids on these bike things and he really wanted on so Spenc peddled and Preston steered...he loved it :)


We tried to get a picture of Preston in the pumpkins but this is the best we got...he wasn't amused.


These are the pumpkins we chose...me and spenc decided that instead of 2 middle sized pumpkins, wed carve one big one together and of course we got Preston a cute little pumpkin of his own :)


And this is us trying to leave. Preston of course didn't want to ride in the wagon he wanted to pull it. We had lots of fun and i cant wait to carve our pumpkins friday night. I LOVE the holidays.

Pets...

Preston loves animals. He gets so excited when we go visit a family member with a dog or cat or anything that moves really. I'm not an animal lover, in the least bit. Well when I was in junior high my dad took me hunting and I killed my first and only deer. He got it mounted and when I got married he told me that I had to keep it and put it in my house. That kind of "decor" isn't really my style haha so I've been meaning to hang it up in my garage but I have yet to get to that.


Lately this is Preston every time we go in and out of the garage. He runs over to the deer and gives it hugs. He loves his deer. Its like his little pet. :) and its a pet I can definitely handle.
