After I got off the elliptical tonight and was getting ready to do some sit-ups, Bennett decided he wanted to work out as well. So he grabbed one of my smaller weights and mimicked everything I did. He was so cute and kept saying, "I work-out too, Mom." I love this little guy!
This was Bennett as we put the Christmas tree up last night. The stockings on his feet, Santa hat on and him walking around saying, "Ho,Ho,Ho I Santa!"
So we woke up to a ton of snow. Which in Carson City= Snow Day!
It reminds me of the snow we would get in Boston or Salt Lake. 
The kids had a blast and drank plenty of Hot Chocolate throughout the day; trying to unthaw their frozen limbs!
Ready to take Lex to her first concert; the Kelly Clarkson concert!
Garrett thinking he needs to pose for a picture as well. 
The opening act, Parachute. They were actually pretty good.
And Kelly singing. It's hard to see but the best I could get with my camera and the batteries dying on me! Lex had a blast and sang along with quite a few songs. I was in awe that I have a kid old enough to take to a concert. When did that happen??
Today is the big day! It's their Primary Program at church. They have worked so hard on learning their parts for the program and did such a good job. Garrett told me, "Mom, I need to get a new white shirt and tie for the Primary Program so I look really good when I'm up there!" So we went shopping yesterday and I let him pick out what he wanted to wear. I think he did a pretty good job.
Experimenting with a brown marker. Nice!
Mmmm...the sweet smell of Desitin!
Nope, that's not chocolate on his hands! You guessed it! Why do kids feel the need to do that?
And here his is, so cute and cuddly!
So I woke up this morning and to my surprise this is what I found. This is what Bryan calls "his solution to the overwhelming amount of Halloween candy we have." Let them eat it all at once and then we will be done with it! So Bryan is the hero of the day in our house! The kids think he's the greatest. And when they are all puking later, he can have fun with that too!
Bon Apetit!
We started the day out by going to the Carson City Parade. And it was about as exciting as parades can be.
Then the real fun came. After the parade we headed on over to our friend's house to play. After a fabulous BBQ, we did some skateboarding on their gi-normous half pipe, rode bikes and motorcycles.
Me and Bennett sliding down the half-pipe. He was a little nervous, being that this one is much bigger than the one's he's use to at the skate park. (we went down like 50 times!)
Garrett geared up and ready to go. He was so stoked!
There's my little man. No fear at all!
Bryan took the kids out on one of the quads. Here he is with Lex. She was sooo excited to get to ride with him.

Bennett and Bryan
Garrett got to ride his buddy Halen's motorcycle all by himself. After crashing into a large bush, he got the hang of it. He had so much fun and guess what he wants from Santa this year!
Yep, the post title is right. Our Halloween was on October 30th here in Carson City. Why?? Well, the Nevada Day parade and festivities and all were to be done on Saturday the 31st. This gives the majority of the people an excuse to really drink it up, big time! So to keep the kids from getting hit by drunk drivers, they did Halloween on the 30th.
Bryan's brilliant idea for our costumes was to have me be a celebrity and him the paparazzi! We had a Halloween party to go to so it was fun to get all dressed up!
At the party, it also happened to be Bennett's best buddy Beckham's b-day party too. It was so funny that the 2 of them both ended up being Buzz Light Year. Even funnier, when Beckham was trying to blow his candles out he couldn't get the second one out. So Bennett, being the loyal friend that he is, saw his buddy in distress and casually walked up and blew it out for him! It was hilarious! Way to have your buddies back Bennett!
Garrett making a Trick or Treat Bag!
They've gone from burying each other in the sand all summer long to burying each other in the leaves.
Love his face!
Lex went to her first "Girly Girl USA" Party on Saturday for her friend Belle and had a blast!
They get to have their hair done, make-up done, fingernails painted and get a Girly Girl T-shirt.
Then they all got to sing to their hearts content. Lex had been practicing songs for weeks in preparation for the party. She really does love to sing and pose for pictures; as you can already tell.
Here is a group picture. Aren't they all so cute, all glammed up and ready to go!
For our Trunk or Treat par-tay we were supposed to bring a decorated pumpkin. Little did Bryan know that it would be like a 3 hour project for what he had in mind. So unfortunately, he didn't get it finished in time for us to take it with us but finished it when we got home. Had we been able to take it though, I know he would have won. I think it turned out pretty cool and is definitely blog worthy.
On Saturday we took the kids to Lattin Farms. They have a corn maze, petting zoo, hay rides and a huge pumpkin patch. Lex and Garrett were ready to head into the corn maze.
In the maze. Bryan with the kiddos.
Me and the kids.
Lex
After the corn maze we went on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch where you get to pick out a pumpkin. The kids had a blast and had a hard time choosing the perfect pumpkin. Bennett was so proud to find this one.
I love this pic of Garrett.
Lex seeing if she will be able to carry her pumpkin back to our ride.
Bryan finding the perfect pumpkin for me. Such a good guy!
And at last, our finds for the day! I think we did pretty good.
I love how many different kinds of pumpkins there are. And gourds as well.
Funky gourds!
