Halloween festivities have begun

We painted pumpkins this year thinking it would be easier, and cleaner, than carving them..

We were wrong.

We went to see WICKED last night, it was so awesome..

And Alida had a BLAST with grandma, they went to the Murfreesboro Discovery Center for a Halloween Activity then went out for pizza-

Our ward activity was tonight and Travis dressed up as Bob Ross, and I his canvas.

Trunk-or-Treating..

Family Pics 2011

We finally had family pictures taken. We saw the 50% off deal happening at JC Penney so took advantage.. here are some of the ones we thought weren't all too bad :)

 

Now that we know how this all works we may get pictures taken more often, they are so nice!

Disney on Ice

I wanted to try making Alida a Belle dress from Beauty and the Beast. Initially the thought was to make it for Halloween but as I started to make the dress I quickly realized I didn't know what I was doing, especially when it came to zippers/buttons/etc.. So in realizing that this dress will most likely not fit by Halloween, it became the perfect dress to wear to Disney on Ice! 

This last Friday Grandma and Grandpa Blackford took us all to Disney on Ice, we had such a great time! Last time we took Alida to Disney on Ice she must have been a little too young as this time around she absolutely loved the show and could even recognize all the characters. Here are some pics!

Downtown Nashville-

It was such a fun show- THANK YOU so much Grandma and Grandpa! 

Then these are just random pictures from last month, I haven't been very good at consistently posting to the blog but will try to do better now.
