Halloween Night!

We weren't even sure we'd go out on Halloween since we had already a few events and it was very cold out. But it was Halloween and Mikey had yet to debut his Monkey costume!

Keeping warm in the wagon!

Taking a break.

And a after a few houses and a lot of candy, we were given the signal that it was time to go home!

Another Halloween Event

Cousin AJ's school had a Trick or Treat night at the school and we all got together and went.

I'm still pretty new at trick-or-treating with a child so I forgot to empty the bag of all the candy before we went and Mikey found the stash!

Spidey doing some climbing.

Nate showing Mikey what Snake Eyes does.

The cutest Minnie Mouse I've ever seen!

Little Red Riding Hood and a Lady Bug!

Mike and his goddaughter Lexi.

After all the candy was collected, the school had a dj in the gym and Mikey had the time of his life! We've never seen the moves he busted out with. Rumor is grandpa Bucky plays Usher performances at home and Mikey practices there.

AJ and Nate bustin a move. They were playing each other's wingman that night. I suspect these two are going to be handful when they are old enough.

Trunk or Treat

We got a lot of good use of Mikey's Halloween costumes this year. We had a few events that we knew of. The first was Thornton's "Trunk or Treat". People dress up the trunks of their cars and hand out candy to the little, and big, kids!

Senior and Junior...most of our time is spent chasing after this lil one! This year, dad wanted desperately for Mikey to be a super hero with muscles. Luckily, Spiderman fit perfectly. On a different note: I worry that Mike and I will be "that couple" that call each other Mom and Dad. I think it's fine when you're speaking to the kids about each other but if it's just the two of you and you call each other Mom or Dad, it feels like it would be wrong. Just my rambles I guess.

This guy's "baby" scared me. I hated that we had to stand in line behind him. It still brings me a lil tear to look at this.

Elmo, one of Mikey's favorite characters, was there!

He did pretty good in his wagon. He didn't keep the mask on for too long though!

I'm always amazed at how creative some people get. Every year I say I'd like to dress up a trunk and participate but I'm afraid we'd look crazy next to some of the trunks that were out there.

Leila and Cameron got to sit and have tea with the Mad Hatter.

Mikey with his cousins Iron Man (Isaiah) and Snake Eyes (Nathan).

I'm not sure what Cameron was but she was super cute.

Leila was Minnie Mouse! A picture with these two was next to impossible.

And I just had to post a very rare picture of Mommy and Mikey!

Family Friday night dinner!

From time to time we like to get out and enjoy a meal out. This time, Nathan was with us as we headed to one of our favorites Olive Garden.

I don't know what Nate thinks he's doing here. He knows Auntie Nancy is boss!

Mikey pretty much likes most things but especially chicken and bread. He's recently starting saying "cheese" for pictures. Although it can be hit and miss.

Nate very full and showing of his new safari hat.

Nuggets Time!

Because we participated in the "Fans on the Field 5K", we were given complimentary tickets to the Nuggets preseason game.

Sr and Jr. The mandatory picture.

Fans on the Field 5K

We participated in the "Fans on the Field 5K" in October. It was very packed but fun. For those who did the 10K, they were able to visit Coors Field, Pepsi Center and Invesco Field. For us non-serious runners, we did the 5K and ran through Pepsi Center and Invesco Field.

Mikey getting ready to ride before the race. Silly, but warm hat? Check! Milk? Check!

This was my view of the run as we approached the Pepsi Center.

And this was the entrance to the Pepsi Center.

I didn't get pictures of the run into Invesco but it was very cool. They even put our faces up on the big screen! We hope to be back next year!

He loves jello but...

it's so messy! I think we are still cleaning it from his chair and his shoes are still jello stained.
