Halloween 2010

Hendrix and MilaBelle trying on Mommy's costume for fun.

Our Truck or Treat at Church had great games for the kids. Here's Peter Pan golfing...

and tossing..
Leah was very proud that she put this costume together. She may not know how to sew yet, but she's pretty handy with some hot glue and pins. Hendrix looks awesome. MilaBelle and him were both excited to have coordinating costumes.
MilaBelle was beautiful TinkerBell. She has loved Tinkerbell for quite some time now. She wore this dress nonstop for two days.


The kids got a lot of loot at the party.


Mike helped run one of the games: Donut on a string, always a classic.

10th Annual Halloween Party -Yuma Style

For the 10th year in a row my brother and his wife threw their Halloween Party, they are still in Yuma so it was there for the 3rd year. It was tons of fun. There's always amazing food, awesome treats, great games and of course the Costume Contest, that Mike and I take very seriously. Mike, me or both of us have won every year and Mike has won every category. (Funny, Scary, Best Couple, and Most Creative) This year was no exception. We worked really hard on our costumes, Mike is so creative, artistic and great at constructing something from nothing. We won Most Creative!

We were Lego Men - I was Lego 'Shaun of the Dead' (the zombie killer) and Mike was a Lego Zombie. These costumes only cost us $10 a piece and some of the materials consisted of a laundry basket, pringle cans, an oatmeal container, an over sized shirt and a cardboard box.


My brother usually goes for the funny - and totally pulled it off with Papa Smurf ...

Tamara is always inventive and came as the lady from the movie "The Birds"



Our friends who started coming with us to the parties about 5 yrs ago came as Publishers Clearing House winner and prize giver. Very original Bekah and Tyler!


This super sweet couple is also hoping to adopt; here's their adoption blog site:




We invited Tyler's little bro, Chase and his new wife Lauren to come along, and they were totally up for the costume challenge with their Kramer and Elaine outfits that were spot on.


We had a wonderful time and are already planning the next two years of costumes.
It's the party of the year.
