Halloween 2012

We have had a lot of Halloween fun the past couple of days! Friday we went to the local pumpkin patch to let the girls play on the slides and rides. They had a blast and did not want to leave.

Saturday night was our wards trunk or treat. We combined with our friends in the nearby ward so their was lots of yummy candy by the end of the night. Audrey has been dreaming of being a pirate since February and decided she was a pirate that says "AAAAA" instead of Arrrr since her name starts with A! Kirsten has wanted to be a barbie princess butterfly mermaid for Halloween. Luckily she settled for Cinderella by the time trunk or treat came (after changing her mind from Ariel and Aurora earlier in the day!).

This pirate wears lipstick!

Making Halloween necklaces with friends

Monday night a few friends came over for a Halloween FHE. We had the traditional cheesy bacon soup and rolls. We played pin the nose on the pumpkin, eat the doughnut on the string, and had a pinata. It was a super fun night!

Some of the cutest kids ever!

Tuesday night we carved pumpkins. Kirsten refused to touch any of the guts and Audrey was very helpful when it came to carving/gutting her pumpkin!

So excited to make a ghost pumpkin

Soooo cold! (at 72 degrees)

Kirsten took this picture for us. Audrey insisted that Timothy be "this guy" the devil mask so I stuck it on my belly ha ha

We had fun trick or treating to a few houses in our neighborhood then came home and ate candy and watched a movie, fun night!

3D ultrasound

I was lucky to have a free 3D ultrasound of Timothy this week. It was so much fun to see a close up of his handsome little face. He reminds me a lot of his sisters. His face is very similar to Audrey but with Kirsten's cheeks! He was totally cooperative and definitely still a boy :)

Smiley little guy

Pouty face

Cringe! Mom leave me a lone!

Now if that isn't a Howcroft profile!

The cutest button nose and oh those lips!

Fall trip to Utah 2012

We spent last week in Utah it was a fun crazy trip. We drove up Thursday (the 11th) stopped and had dinner with Amada at Noodles then went up to SLC to meet baby Barrett. He is adorable and Audrey and I couldn't get enough of him! We got a hotel for a couple nights with my sister Camille and her kids. Chelsey joined us on Friday and we enjoyed lots of swimming, shopping, and hanging out with family. Saturday Kirk did the tough mudder than we drove to Vernal. We spent a couple days with his family playing in Nana's leaves and with more cousins. Kirk flew to DC on Tuesday and the girls and I spent a couple days with my parents. Wednesday we went to stay with Kristy to help her move into her new house. We had so much fun spending time with family and cousins, but my nesting instincts were going crazy so I'm grateful to be home getting my house ready for baby Timothy!
