Halloween 2018

 Halloween was fun as always. Dave had to work but kids are at a pretty easy age to take places now so it didn't seem overwhelming or too hard. My mom invited us over for chili before we started so we stopped at their house and ate dinner and then headed back to our old neighborhood to meet up with friends and collect all the candy. 

 Ant-Man and Wasp. This was Case's idea and he had to do some convincing to get Colbi to agree but she finally did.

 Colt the Ghoul.  He got a lot of comments about how scary he looked.

 Jax the great hunter!

  Case was Ant-Man.

 Colbi was Wasp.

 

Our Halloween tradition is always to meet up with the Hutchison family and trick or treat together. Our kids have so much fun with each other and we love to hear the people's reaction when they open their door and 9 children are yelling trick-or-treat at them.  

 Dave and the older boys had gone deer hunting in Idaho the Sunday before Halloween so I carved pumpkins with Case and Colbi (and my mom helped too!). They really liked scraping out the insides of the pumpkin together.

Case wanted a bat and Colbi wanted a funny face. 

Happy Halloween!!

October Random Happenings.

 Dave took all the boys on a hunting trip to Idaho. They had the best time and came back with some great stories. The spent 3 days hiking from sun up to sun down. It was cold and not always easy but they all loved it. Unfortunately no deer this year.

 These faces make me smile!

 They had only been back for a day when Jax ended up shooting a doe in our back property. He was so excited. 

 While they were hunting Marni came to Walla Walla! Colbi was thrilled to have her all to herself. She followed her around all weekend talking non stop.  She loved it! We went on a couple runs together and Colbi stayed with Papa. We went to Maple Counter for breakfast, stopped at Klickers and just had fun together.

I don't think Colbi stopped smiling all weekend.

 Colbi had her preschool program at Betty's and both Dave and Papa were there to watch her perform.

 We had quite a few fires in our back property area in October. The weather has been perfect for them and it is one of the kids favorite things to do.  I think one week we had a fire for 4 nights in a row and every night the kids roasted hot dogs and called it dinner. Such great memories.

 Dave's entire family came over on Saturday afternoon. We got some family pictures done and then we had a great time just being together. We had dinner and a bonfire and the kids left so dirty but happy. It was a gorgeous day and so much fun.

 The original Pemberton 5.......

 .....And their spouses!

 This month also included many random trips to Klickers to play on the slide, bounce house, look at pumpkins and grab some ice cream. 

October is my very favorite month!
