2011 Halloween

The night before Halloween we carved pumpkins at our home. We all pitched in and cleaned the guts and goo out of our 6 pumpkins. Jaxson really enjoyed cleaning out the goo.

Jaxson loved how the pumpkins smelt. He keep putting his head inside it and taking deep breaths and talking about how good the pumpkins smelt. It was so funny.

Hard at work on the pumpkins

Jaxson wanted a silly pumpkin this year on his pumpkin.

He picked that on his own about a week before we carved them. Our pumpkins all finished

This year for Halloween Jaxson chose to be a baseball catcher. Uncle Dave let us borrow one of his catcher bags with all the gear. We borrowed it a week prior to Halloween Jaxson would have me get all the equipment on all day long he loved it. All the equipment on was really hard for him to walk a lot in so come Halloween we decided that he would just wear the mask and of coarse the black things under the eyes cause Uncle Dave had told him that is what catchers wear so it was a must. It felt like I was getting to see a little look into our future. I'm sure I'll see this look on Jaxson again in the future when he's old enough to play ball.

Halloween was a full day. We started at 2pm and ended around 9:30. We went to family and luckily were able to see everyone but Jayden in their costume. We then went to our ward Train or Treat at the Mott's and rode the train and played with the ward kids for about an hour. Then we went to my parents house and ate dinner. After dinner we went trick or treating around our neighborhood block. Then up to Brett's cousin Brooke's Halloween party. It was a full night but lots of fun!

We took Jaxson Trick or Treating just as I grew up doing Treak or Treating around the same neighborhood--special special. He loved riding in the the wagon from house to house. Our neighborhood was so awesome they all had thought of him and picked up something they could give Jax for Halloween. Some had gotten a special treat just for him and some had picked candy to hand out that was healthy for Jaxson to eat all without calling and asking me they just had watched what Jaxson had eaten in the past and knew what would work. So thoughtful I had to fight back the tears. LOVE where we live and all the thoughtful neighbors that we have it made my Halloween this year and I know it was a perfect night for Jaxson.
