San Diego - Homecoming and Pumpkin Painting

A couple of weeks ago, we headed down to San Diego for the weekend.
My younger sister Maddie had a volleyball game and homecoming, so it was great weekend to go!

First we went to watch Maddie's Volleyball game.
Nash was really good and enjoyed watching all the craziness.
Maddie did great and was so fun to see her on the court.




Saturday was all about Homecoming.  The girls took Maddie to get her make up done.
Helped her get dressed and then took lots of pictures.  Here are some before she left.



Sunday we were able to paint/carve pumpkins.
It was a beautiful day out and Nash actually enjoyed painting them.



Showing Daddy the paint that he got on himself


At the end, Micah was carving her pumpkins and Nash wanted to help.
He loves his Micah Mae.

Happy Halloween 2012

Our Halloween was a busy one!
We are currently back in CA and loving every minute of it.

Halloween was filled with parades, food, family and trick or treating.
The day started out seeing two parades.
One was at Nash's cousin Joella's school and the second one was at Daddy and Auntie Divo's work.

At Daddy's work, Daddy was able to show off his little puppy.

Taylor (One of Nash's cousins) and Nash were so excited to explore Daddy's campus

 They found some grass and ran and rolled around until it was time for the parade.

Once the parade started, they were both so excited to name all the characters that they knew
and to see cousin Leyton walking in the parade.

After the parade, we headed home and took naps and got ready for the evening.
Auntie Holly hosted a Halloween potluck before we all headed out to go trick or treating.
The food was great!


There was a craft table

Nash and Leyton played with cars outside

The girls twirled in their princess outfits

Then we headed off to trick or treat.
We went to the hot spot in our area and boy was it a hot spot.
There were hundreds of people there, police on horse back and even a first aid station.
The below pictures were taken with my phone so they are not too clear.


Nash loved trick or treating.
I think he hit up 7 or 8 houses and then just ran around.
My child does not like sweets, so he was not interested in the candy thankfully. 
(if you know me, you should be shocked that he doesn't)
But he loved going up to the houses and saying "tick o teet"and "ah u"(thank you)

All in all it was a successful trick or treating day.
I think Chris was more tired than our Nasherson.

I have many pictures from our trip to San Diego to post.
Hopefully I will get them on in the next day or so.
