Happy Halloween!

Cade and I went to a Halloween party on Saturday with a bunch of couples from our stake. It was a lot of fun. Most everyone had some pretty creative costumes and the house went all out with the decorations. This is only the second time Cade and I have dressed up for Halloween. (The first was a few years ago for my grandma's party.) Neither of us care for Halloween and Cade claims he stopped dressing up when he was about eight. So it was nice to do something different for a change.

Cade was a house :) We just had to do something useful with that big stroller box we had sitting around. He was one vote away from tying for first place for best costume.

I was a lady bug. Not too exciting but there are only so many things a pregnant lady can throw together and fit into last minute. And it only cost $4.

Our friend Morgan was the ocean! Clever. You can't really tell in the picture but she glued seashells to her tan sweater and wore a big shell on her headband.

Here are some of the decorations. They were all over the walls and ceiling. The pictures don't do it justice.





Baby Shower

Finally, something blog worthy happened. My mom and Carol Ann threw me (and baby Conner) a baby shower! It turned out great. They served sweet pork burritos (Cafe Rio's recipe) with all the toppings, cilantro rice, brownies, lemon squares, and lemonade. It was delicious! I was also suprised and happy to see so many friends and family from out of town. Besides everyone who lives somewhere in the valley (near and far), there were also guests from Cottonwood, Prescott Valley, Kingman, Yuma, and Ashley even made a surprise visit from Provo. My grandma Mason, who had been telling me for the past month that she wouldn't come because she hates baby showers and their dumb games, even showed up. I guess I know who to blame now when people ask me why I don't like games. I forgot my camera so these pictures were made possible by Randi and Carol Ann. I'm just sad there are no pictures of my prettiest cousins :)

Thanks for the great shower mom and Carol Ann. And thanks to everyone for coming.
