pumpkins and parties

Just so you know, this is going to be one of those posts with lots of pictures. We had a great Halloween and now that Ethan is here I don't have the time to break this into several posts so it just has to be this way. See for yourself.... but you were warned.

Pumpkin shopping with the Cramers
Nicole is a lot taller than me. But then again, most people are. In my defense she had heeled boots on.
(not pictured below: baby Olive Cramer. She was asleep in her car seat)
Our little monster.
Bret says this photo below is his favorite ever picture of himself. Not sure if I should be offended or not.
After finding our pumpkins we headed to Lonestar for some delicious tacos. Olive and Ethan may have had their own table but it wasn't much of an interactive first date.

Friend party
My friends, the Logan sisters, threw a fabulous Halloween party at Danielle's for friends and their kids. It was so well done and I was excited to document it but Ethan decided to cry basically the whole time so I only ended up getting a couple of photos and only one bite of food. I suppose I better get used to that.
Natalie Farley and I had our babies on the same day in the same hospital so we had to get a picture of Ethan and Madison together. For having the same birthday, they couldn't be more different; she was little with long dark hair and Ethan is huge and bald. Both adorable though.
Two cute witches. Natalie DeMill covered the event much better than I did. You can go to her blog to see more.

Pumpkin carving at the Cannons'
Bret's had a wicked stache.
Udall Family Party

The Smarts
The Cannons

Matt and Jen were Will Schuester and Sue Sylvester. Pretty good.
Grandma and Poppy (and spencer -he's hidden in his camou). Not sure why Dr. Spock has green hair.
The Bowens
I was a witch and Ethan a little bear. This year Bret was another one of his heroes: Steve Jobs in the future introducing his latest feat in technology... the iHand.
Here he is demonstrating it.
It's gonna be big.
I feel bad that I didn't get a picture of my brother Jim who was also there, but he basically took most of these pictures from the party so his presence is still felt. Thanks Jim.
Steve Jobs and a zombie enjoying pizza together.
Happy Halloween!

How fun! (Except the Ethan crying part at the friend party.) It seems that a good time was had by all. What was Jim for the family party?

Very Nice. Thank goodness I don't look sick in that picture.
