Halloween Party!!!

Over the weekend we had our annual Halloween Party!!  Everyone had a BLAST!  Brody dressed up like a zombie and we called Wyatt "Big Money"!  Jerry and I dressed up as part of the "Village People" group (YMCA)!  A BIG thank you goes out to all of you who were able to attend.  The snacks and goodies you brought were delish!  Have fun Trick or Treating on Wednesday!!!  :)

My niece Natalie organized this game where the kids feel what's in the box and guess what it is.  She had grapes for eyeballs, cooked noodles for brains, and slime for intestines.  The kids LOVED it!

I loved Brody's expression in this picture!!!  This game was a great hit!  Look at the line behind Brody!!!

This is K.K. swinging...her and Wyatt share the same exact birthdate!

Natalie had the kids guess how many Smarties were inside of this Frankenstein.  Brody won!  Exactly 56 pieces!!!

Mexico!!!!

We just got home last night from our wonderful trip to Rocky Point, Mexico!  The boys had a fall break this year, so we decided to hit the beach!  Our good friends Lucas & Sandi joined us with their two little boys (Nolan and Connor).  Our boys are the same age as their boys and they're all best friends!  Perfect match...we all get along so well.  The boys loved hanging out at the beach, swimming, snorkeling, boogie boarding, going to visit the fish market, fishing, etc.  We're already planning another trip for next year!!!

The little boys loved floating in the ocean on this raft!

Brody snorkeling!

Check out my tattoo!

Lazy days on the beach are AWESOME!

Showing off their bracelets with their name on them.

Looking for fish with our goggles on!

Check out this trigger fish head that we found on shore.  It has teeth like a human!  Brody is fascinated by any animals found in nature.

We tried this shot of him holding the sun, but it looks like we were off a little.  Still a cool picture!

Jerry and Lucas rented snorkeling gear.  They had so much fun!

Awe!!!

Can you tell that these boys love each other??!!

Soccer on the beach isn't as easy as it looks.  I was so tired after only about 20 minutes of playing with Brody.

Oh yeah! 

Wy loved flying his kite!

Cutie pie! 

Wee!

Pool time!

Cool flip Brody!

The shark line up!

Sandi with her strawberry pina coladas!!!  Yum!

Halley family picture just after the sunset.

Brody's favorite part of our whole trip was finding creatures that had washed up on shore.  Here is a dead sting ray.

Group picture!

Brody tried early in the morning and later in the evening to try to catch a fish...no luck.  Next time Jerry is going to take him out on a deep sea fishing trip!

It was hard to fish with the strong waves and tide coming in.

Hello little crab!  Brody caught this little guy eating his bait.

Brody with the squid that he was using for bait.

What a memorable trip!  We all loved every minute of it!!! :)
