Halloween #1

Like everyone else, we enjoyed MANY Halloween parties this year. SO MANY, that I'm going to have to split up posts...yes, I know I'm a week behind.

Tonight's Featured Halloween Party (ha:)) took place at Derek's brother, Ryan, and his girlfriend (Ryan's girlfriend, NOT Dereks!!), Vanessa's house. We had so much fun boogieing the night away to Monster Mash, as you can tell. And yes, that is a microphone (a pretend one) that Matix is jammin' with. That kid can rock! And he likes to tell you he rocks too:). Are you wondering what his costume is??? Well, he was supposed to be a dragon that night, but he was determined to just be a little boy in green sweats. He wouldn't let me near him with the costume. What do ya do???

This next picture melts my own heart...Their very first daddy/daughter dance, awww. Fast-forward 45 years and they be doing the dance again at her wedding. You read right...45 is when we might let our sweet Marley go. No sooner...she is way too sweet! Speaking of Marley, she was the CUTEST Tinkerbell ever! Am I right? Look at that smile...Papa always seems to bring it out:). :).
Bella and Matix are so hilarious together! They love, fight, and play like a brother and sister. Bella, who can hold her own for a petite little thing, had Matix pinned in a tickle-torture. It was so cute!!! Until, of course, it turned into crying...which it always seems to do. I think I got this picture just in the nick of time. Matix isn't looking as entertained as he was two seconds prior...
I had to put this picture of Mar and her awesome Aunt Karlee, AKA. Bella and Crew's mommy. My kids LOVE their Aunt Karlee!!I must have missed the MEMO to dress up that night, so the fam pieced a costume together for me. Lets see... we got dragon/dragon slayer/pirate/princess/Mr. Bean all rolled into one. Absolutely hideous...almost offensive, I agree. Uh, yeah, maybe I should stop now....
