Happy Halloween!

I guess it is time to put on pictures from our halloween adventures together before it was Thanksgiving! We had a great time this year. Vance was so excited about it for weeks before it happened which of course made Kael excited, although he wasn't sure why he was excited. Vance wanted to be Superman at first, then a cowboy, then a cowboy with super powers, until he finally decided to be Buzz Lightyear. Kael was a pirate and Merek a little dragon. We first did Boo at the Zoo and enjoyed trick-or-treating around the zoo. Then we carved our pumpkins and finally had out ward trunk-or-treat along with the community center's games. It was all really fun, although we did miss Curtis. He was in Iowa for a classmates wedding. So there you are. Enjoy our pictures.

Hurray for pumpkins
Cute boy
Now that is excitement!
He had to strip down to paint his pumpkin but he had to keep on his cape. Silly guy.

Time flown by

We have been a little busy around here so I am sorry that it has taken so long to post these pictures. I figured I should do it before Halloween so I wasn't even more behind. We have been enjoying each others company mostly so these are just some fun pictures of our time together. We did take a trip to an apple orchard and when Aunt Amie was here we went to the Olympic Training Center. That was really fun. We loved having her here to visit. Thanks Aunt Amie! Anyway enjoy our fun pictures.

Joke time

So Vance really likes to tell jokes and gets on this kick of non-stop Knock-Knock jokes. To try and stop him from his Knock-Knock jokes I threw in this one and this is his response:

M: Vance, why did the chicken cross the road?

V: When there weren't any cars.

M: No not when did the chicken cross the road but why did it cross the road.

V: Because it's a nicken.

M: What?

V: It's a nicken that's why.

What an answer. He came up with it all on his own. Silly guy!
