Family Photo Shoot

Back in October our wonderful neighbors called and asked if we would be interested in having family pictures taken.  She has a friend who is  professional photographer and doing a fundraiser for the local high school, and wanted to purchase family pictures for us as a Christmas present.  We couldn't turn  down such an awesome opportunity, so we scheduled an appointment and had pictures taken!

Here are some of our favorites!

She got so many great pictures of Jackson it was hard to choose!

But I think this one is my favorite :)

 We found out some exciting news the week before we had our pictures taken, so we took advantage and let Jackson make the announcement for us!

Halloween

We are a little behind on our blog posting, but now that school is over for the semester I'm going to try and catch up.  We had a really fun Halloween this year!  The Saturday before Halloween Shawn and I went to a party at the our friends the Johnsons' house.  We got a babysitter so Jackson wasn't out late.  Shawn was dressed as a Big Mac and I was dressed as the Hamburglar.  

We carved pumpkins on Monday before Halloween for FHE.  Jackson had fun looking at them when they were lit up at night.  

On Halloween, Jackson dressed up as Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates (a Disney Channel cartoon).  Our little pirate looked pretty handsome.  We went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood with the Stuarts.  It took Jackson a couple of houses to figure out the whole walk up to the door and get candy thing, but once he figured it out he had a blast!  He wanted to carry his plastic pumpkin by himself as we walked around the neighborhood.  Tommy had a great time ringing all of the doorbells too.  Here are some pictures of our handsome pirate.  

Shawn's parents were in town over Halloween so we went up to
visit them and the cousins before trick-or-treating

Having a great time trick-or-treating!
