HALLOWEEN

Halloween was so much fun.  Taelin I think is the cutest little monkey.  We went trick or treating around base from 6-6:30 and then handed out candy until 7:00.  Taelin was so hot in his costume and he was all done after 30 min.  He had so much fun though.  He was really confused this year though...he would go up and say Trick or Treat, get a candy and then want to eat it RIGHT THEN...we would tell him to put it in his bucket, but then he would just throw his bucket....so we would walk up to another house to get some more candy and THEN he would put that candy in his bucket and get another one and do the same thing...he was very CONFUSED.....and OF COURSE when he got a sucker he wanted to eat it IMMEDIATELY!! It was a lot of fun.  After he was done trick or treating he helped me hand out the candy with some of our neighbors and he had fun running around.  He ran around with his friend Danika and his sister Riley for a long time.  Taelin was scared of people with masks at the beginning of the night, but then LOVED them by the end of the night.  It was a really fun Halloween!! Oh and our candy ran out in 30 min....SO MANY KIDS!! It was fun to see the Japanese Kids all dressed up too!

Halloween Fall Festival

Friday the 28th of Oct was Camp Courtney's Fall Halloween Festival.  It was seriously so much fun! We were their from 2-6.  Taelin was having the time of his life.  Enjoy the pics:)

This is his 1st time on a pony ride...he was kind of nervous

Wanted to sit with Daddy

Happy when he was on the horse and daddy was by him

This is Taelin's 2nd pony ride...doing it all by HIMSELF!! Mommy even got to ride a pony:)

He was in Heaven! And he did AMAZING on the pony.  Wanted to ride it more and more and more. What a change from the first time he sat on one.  He is a PRO now:)

The whole way to the festival Taelin kept saying CHOO CHOO.  He is IN LOVE with Trains right now and was SO EXCITED when he saw this train.  We rode this OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! The whole way home he was saying Chooo Choo! This train ride was so much fun too. 

love my 2 boys

Taelin also LOVED the shooting game. 

He is so exited to shoot this gun! Love the glasses:)

The Military Police Dogs put on a show that was really sweet.  These dogs are so pretty!

This man is running away from the dog and the dog goes straight for his arm

biting his arm hard (the guy had something covering his arm)

 They also showed the dogs running after the man to get his arm, and then the man stops and just stands their and the dog sits down and sits by the man..it was crazy cool! DO NOT MESS WITH A MILITARY POLICE DOG!

We also won a prize with our raffle:) a hygiene kit and a towel:) haha

Halloween Party

Saturday the 22nd we went to our friends house (Krista and Jon bakers) to have a Halloween Party and to celebrate their daughters 1 year birthday.  There was a bunch of good food to eat and they played the movie Hocus Pocus outside.  Taelin had a lot of fun chasing around all of the girls.  It was a lot of fun.  Kids came up to Dalin & I and tried to eat us...haha After the party Dalin had to go and scare the girls that he volunteer coaches for.  Taelin & I went with him as well as Chris and 3 other people.  We managed to get into the coaches house by having one of the girls crawl through the doggie door to let us all in.  The girls came in groups of about 6 into the house and we scared them like crazy!!!! Taelin was all for the scaring BEFORE, but once the girls started screaming he was SO SCARED! I have never seen him so scared in my life. He was holding onto me like no other.  We finally went outside in the backyard and sang songs until all of the groups had gone through.  When it was over he said he had fun and wanted more....so I guess I'm not the worse mother anymore...haha I think that I should win the MOTHER OF THE DAY AWARD though...haha  I don't think I will be taking him to scary things like that for a very long time! Below are pics from our night:)

Taelin wanted to take his costume off right away...haha He wasn't very happy with us because we had to wake him up to go to the party

Mad at us

Trying to take his costume off

Told him that if he smiled for 1 pic he would get a trick or treat candy sucker! That made him smile:)
