Family Halloween Costumes

Some of my favorite family Halloween costumes from this year. 

While out trick or treating we found a family of Lego's. 

Beetlejuice (seriously AWESOME costumes). 

There was another Beetlejuice but he was hiding behind his mama. You can see his little striped leg at the bottom of her dress. 

Flintstones 

My preggo sister and niece Kyla 

and my very favorite, US! lol I'm not partial at all 

Halloween cakes

I made two cakes for this Halloween. This first one was for my brothers birthday. I hope that someday I can plan to have a baby in October because I was always so jealous of my brothers birthday parties in October. There is SO much you can do to make them fun! 

Spiderweb cake

I don't like the spider on top. I would forgo next time or make it another color. 

Sewer Rat Cake

The second cake was for my work "creepy dessert contest". My hubby and I teamed up on this one and decided to make a sewer rat on top of a big block of cheese. He made the rat out of sculpted rice crispy and modeling chocolate. The whiskers are fishing line. 

The man hard at work. 

The cake was two 9" yellow round cakes with almond cream frosting and marshmallow fondant. My part and nice and simple. 

I think above all this cake was extremely unique and we won first place :) 

Girls weekend in Denver

My sister Cynthia lives in Wyoming and she has been talking about us girls meeting in Denver, Colorado for a girls weekend and last weekend we FINALLY did it! At first Cynthia only thought my other sister Heather was able to make it but a few weeks before the date I purchased my plane ticket and surprised her at the airport. We were there for 4 days and had a ton of fun. I mentioned that the next time we do this we should meet up in New York, wouldn't that be awesome?! 

This was Broderick's first time on a plane. He did okay but being in business class going there and back helped. Babies need their space and so do I. lol 

Soaking up the scenery on our way to the hotel 

What's girls weekend without shopping? I guess you can say this is "our store". 

We got a lot of Juicy between the three of us. 

Baby just loves to eat those toes! 

How many takes to get a picture without someone laughing? 

Ok, I'm the worst offender 

BOOM!

Driving to Colorado Springs for the day 

"Garden of the Gods"

The Balancing Rock

The drive up towards "7 Falls"

I love sunsets ♥

Halloween costume photo shoot

How many attempts does it take to get a decent picture? When you're taking a picture with a baby it takes many many shots and lots of patients! Some of baby's faces in these pictures are priceless but this first one is my favorite (hence it's the only one I edited).

The master chef preparing his evening special - Delicious lobster!
