Halloween

Cade originally was going to be a robot. I even made his costume, but when he discovered it was hard to sit in it he decided to wear last years Spiderman costume. Avery went as a butterfly princess though you can't see her wings because she didn't want to wear them after all!

TRICK OR TREAT!

Grandma Debbie the witch!

Great Grandma Pat's house.

The haunted get up at Grosskoffs. The kids thought it was pretty scary even though they got the tamed down version.

St Patrick's Day Parade

Jami and I met Mom in Billings for the St Patrick's Day Parade. I bought some kettle corn and it was a good thing I did because it was a big hit with the kids!

Cade taking in the parade. The parade was pretty long and we were at the end of it and nearly everyone seemed either just out of candy or almost out of candy so they were really sparing with it much to the kids dismay. carter wasn't shy about following them and convincing them to give her a piece!

Chase's favorite spot during the parade was right by the popcorn bag!

The kids and I getting ready to head in to the parade.

After Jessica, Keenan, and Eric arrived in montana after the New Year we opened more presents with the cousins. We tried to get a picture of them all with Grampa and Gramma so dad biribed them with suckers


Carter and Avery playing with Avery's new baby.

We tried to get a picture of all the cousins and nobody wanted to sit still very long to do it, much less smile while they were doing it.

Halloween

Cade went as the evil Spiderman. He really liked his mask, even if he couldn't always get it on straight!

Some super spidey moves and Avery in the background was a little angel, who strangely enough lost her halo even before we left the house!

Spidey had some cool moves!

More Halloween

Cade, Avery, and the Fandek kids getting ready to head out for a little trick or treating!


Chase didn't seem to impressed with his outift it kind of impeded seeing where he was going!

Carter showing off some moves, Grandma Debbie in the backgroung was dressed up as a witch. Grandpa Mike tried to scare the kids outside but Cade was not to be fooled and he showed him some of his super duper spidey moves.

The kids had a really fun time with Halloween this year. We started at about 5:15, made 7 stops and were back home by 8:15. They were really tired and it didn't take long for them to be out of their costumes and into jammies and bed. They had their biggest scare at Aunt Linda's. It was set up pretty scary for the big kids. We went ahead of the big kids so they really toned it down for us!
