Since last year, our little family all dressed up as the incredibles, there was high expectations of what we would be this year. Brandon has alot of his students in our ward or in our neighborhood that were wondering what we would be this year so this year we decided to be....
M&M's!! We had two little M&ms and we were the packages!! Almost everyone asked if i made the costumes and though i would love to take credit for them, i did not. Brandons mom made these costumes when Brandon was the little green M&M so she was sweet enough to let us borrow them! Everyone seem to think they were pretty cute so i think we were a hit! This year we went to the community center halloween party which was held on saturday night which the boys loved and then on Monday night we went to our wards trunk-or-treat.
Coleton and Hayden had a great time and we got a good little stash of candy.
After hitting all of the cars, we passed a few pieces out and then headed home to pass out candy for those trick or treaters coming through the neighborhood.
The boys seem to enjoy passing out the candy more then trick-or-treating themselves. Coleton loved running to the door throwing the door open and yelling "HAPPY HALLOWEEN" as he then searched through the bowl of candy deciding which candy would be best for each indivdual child. Some of the kids were waiting a couple of minutes to recieve a snickers but everytime i would tell him to hurry because the kids were waiting he would say in a destressed voice "Im trying to hurry mom!" He just wanted to make sure that everyone got just what they wanted ;)
Hayden just tried his hardest to get a piece of candy into someones bag which only happened probably twice all night. As each child left our house, Coleton yelled once again, "Bye, Happy Halloween!" By the end of the night, we were all exausted and ready for bed but the boys had a lot of fun and this year halloween was a success!
Happy Halloween Everyone!

With Elmos mouth wide open, Coleton couldnt help but fill it with things. We thought that it was pretty cute but never expected it from another child two years later.... 
Hayden is also very obsessed with Elmo and as i was cleaning up the kitchen the other morning i watched as Elmos month was once again being filled with a variety of things. After a few minutes he vanished and as i went looking for him this is where i found him...
After many things had been loaded into Elmos month, by both children now, Hayden realized it was time to brush Elmos Teeth? ok maybe gums! 
He placed him in the sink, got his tooth brush with of course tooth paste,
and went to work telling elmo every few seconds "ahhh" so elmo would keep his month open.
Then of course after Elmo it was Haydens turn! :0) The two boys are so very different in so many ways but there are days like these were they dont seem so different after all!
But i noticed him right it time! He made it to the end, honestly it looked like it was a miserable run but he was so proud of himself for finishing under his estimated time. He was really wanting to make it under 2 hours and make it in 1 hour 58 minutes!!!! He got a pretty fancy metal for running the race and they had a lot of cool snacks for them afterwards!
We are just so proud of Brandon for sticking with running. There have been quite a few injuries that he has had to deal with blisters, foot strains, knee problem, back problems, and quite a bit more but he has kept running through all of them to keep himself healthy for the boys and me. He has lost quite a bit of weight (though i have been gaining it with the pregnancy) and he is looking and feeling great! Keep up the good work, Honey!!
