Darn!

So we didn't win the costume contest, darn in! Sorry I didn't get it posted on my blog earlier. The voting went on for six days and on the fourth day, after calling and emailing people about it, my sister-in-law had the brilliant idea to post it on my blog...hello?! Thanks for all of those who voted! There's always next year!

PLEASE VOTE for the Cutest Monkey In Town!

Halloween was a blast! Kids definately make any holiday more fun. Poor Lincoln had to get in his costume 10 times! It was worth it though. My mom made the cutest, most amazing monkey costume for him. He looked like a little stuffed monkey...so adorable! Thanks so much mom!!! We had a lot of stops to get to to show off the costume so we started on it a day early.
Our first stop was to Grandma and Grandpa B's house. Lucky us, we made it there to see Kris and Emily with Megan and Mark as well!

The next stop was the surgical center that my aunt LaRae works at. The ladies there couldn't get enough of him! They took turns holding him and letting him pick candy out of their treat bowls.

Since we were in the area, we headed over to Sharp's Tarps to see Grandpa Sharp, Brandt, and Jordan.





That evening we were invited to a Halloween party at my friend Tonya's house. By the end of the night, Linc was completely worn out.

On Halloween we got up bright and early and got ready for the day. We met Hayley and Maddox at iFreedom to visit the Derek and Derik and to partake of all the delicious homemade chili. We had fun toting the monkey and the lion (Maddox) around to all of the desks. It was good to see Derek and to give him to have a little bit of a break from work! I dressed up as a pirate and Derek was a complete redneck... our costumes did not match at all. Good thing there's many more Halloween's to come! The worst part about it is that my camera died right when we got to iFreedom so no pics of that! Grrr!
When Derek got off work we headed down to see Grandma and Grandpa Peterson and Candice and Cody. We had some homemade pizza and a chocolate Halloween cake. Derek thought it would be funny to smear cake all over Linc's face...
Later that evening we cruised back up to West Jordan to Grandma and Grandpa Sharp's house. It's a tradition that we get together to have soup and rolls. All of Linc's cousins were dressed so cute as well. It made me excited to take Lincoln out trick-or-treating next year!

THANKS AGAIN GRANDMA SHARP for the CUTEST MONKEY COSTUME! WE LOVE YOU!
