Halloween Festivities 2013

I have a love/hate relationship with fall. I love all the weather, colors and the festivities, but I hate that it means winter is coming.  We have made the best of our fall this year.  During Fall Break, we met up with some friends and went to Cornbelly's.  The kids all had a great time.  I liked it too.  I enjoy being with my friends just as much as the kids do.

McKay invited his friend Parker along.  This was the only time that I saw them the whole afternoon.  Being teenagers, they went off on their own and found their own fun.  Their "fun" may or may not have involved getting kicked out of the corn maze. 

Josh, Josh F., Addie F. and Kayden all lined up begging to have their picture taken.

Kayden and one of his best buddies, Josh.

Oh Jaxon.  He is such a jokester.  He and his friend JD had a good time together.

Josh and his buddy Kaden C.  They had such a good time reuniting and rekindling their friendship.  It had been way to long since they had been able to hangout together.

Not sure what Josh is riding, but he had fun riding it nonetheless.

Then Jaxon had fun punching it.

Jaxon (who is acting way too cool) and JD going for a ride.

Josh F., Kayden and Trace loving their tractor ride.  I had a good time riding with them too.

Kaden C. and Josh returning from their tractor ride.

Our ward had a Fall Festival where the boys got to dress up.  We went down to the church and had some dinner and played some carnival games.  It was a lot of fun.

Josh dressed up as Jeremy Warner from Studio C.  He won an award for the best TV costume.

Kayden had a good time with the doughnut eating contest.

Kayden especially loved getting his face painted.

Halloween finally arrived and the boys had a great time dressing up for school.  I missed getting a picture of McKay before he left for school (he dressed up as Dr. White), but here is who I caught:

Josh (as Jeremy Warner), Kayden (as a BYU football player), and Jaxon (as Si Robertson).

Kayden sharing is Halloween love with Suki.

Our elementary school has a fun tradition of having a Halloween parade where the kids get to show off their costumes while they walk through the school.

Josh as he is walking by.

Jaxon walking by (doing what I am not sure).  Sadly, since Jaxon is in 6th grade this year, this was his last Halloween parade.  Sniff, sniff.

Kayden and his friend Iron Man, I mean Chase, all set to ride to kindergarten on Halloween.

Kayden in his school Halloween parade.  He was slightly excited to see me.

All my Halloween boys all set to go out and trick-or-treat.  Kayden, McKay (as Dr. White), Josh, Jaxon and Naohiro (he is our foreign exchange student from Japan that as been staying with us the last few days--more on that later).

Happy Halloween!
