Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone had a very Happy Halloween! Jaxon was a dinosaur, it was fun that he got to pick his costume this year. There was no question about it, he has been saying for a good three months now that he wanted to be a dinosaur!

Walking to go meet his buddies at the Fun Zone for pizza before trick or treating.

Trying to get a group of toddlers together for a picture is so funny, not to mention trying to get them to look or smile for the camera!

On the ferry ride over to Balboa Island, a great place to go trick or treating, but so crowded this year.

Jaxon's beloved Fun Zone

Ready for candy!

Trick or Treat!

I forgot to take any pictures of the decorated houses, but they are all very fun and halloweeny!

Our last stop of the night was trick or treating at our own house. Jason got sick yesterday and unfortunately couldn't go with us this year. Hopefully it will be over soon, and Jaxon and I will be able to avoid getting sick...

Fall

Yay! Fall is finally here... well most days at least! It's time to make more Starbucks runs for my Chai Latte's. Let's be honest, that's kind of a year-round treat for me, but they're especially nice in the cooler weather. We are all looking forward to Halloween this year and this is the first year that Jaxon picked a costume for himself, and can't wait to wear it. I just can't wait for all the candy! Pumpkin carving was fun, but we did it way too early because in this weather they were totally moldy after 3 days. Not so fun to dispose of.

Pumpkin Patch

In hopes of getting a good family photo for Jaxon's preschool class.

CA Adventures and Disneyland. I think it got up to 95 on Monday when we were there, so it felt more like summer, but it was still lots of fun.

A walk down memory lane never hurts...

Jaxon last year

Jaxon's first Halloween, wow time flies! I remember this like it was just yesterday. Hopefully those memories will never fade, especially because I have the worst memory ever!

Mimi and Smithy Time

We all had such a wonderful time with my parents here.  They are such great parents and super great grandparents as well!  We are so lucky to have them in our lives, if only we lived closer!

 

Beach Time 

 

Kite Time

More fun times, can't wait for our next visit!  Now with all our guests gone we are busy getting ready for Scarlett!  We are planning on turning our guest room/office into her room.  It has been fun going through all Jaxon's old baby clothes and gear to see what we can use again and what we will need to get.  In some ways this pregnancy has gone fast because of so many distractions, but at the same time I am really anxious for her arrival and can't wait to not be pregnant!  

OC Walk to Remember

This year my parents were here to do the OC Walk to Remember with us.  It is a nice way for us to remember our Xavier and to help raise money for local hospitals and support groups.

Friends and Family Month

October is definitely friends and family month at the Guyser house.  First, Jason's dad and little sister came for a visit, then my sister, Brian and Dexter were here for a week and now my parents are here until the 15th.  It is so fun and we love to get to spend time with everyone.

At Charlie's Chili, YUM!!!  I think I told Jason, "We should really come here more often!" about 50 times during breakfast.

Jaxon discovered he loved powdered sugar just as much as he loved his french toast!

We picked up Terese, Brian and Dexter and headed straight to the Long Beach Aquarium.  

For some reason I have no pictures of our fun trip to Disneyland, it is all decorated for Halloween and it was Dexter's first time there and we had a blast.  The next day we spent time on the beach and at the Fun Zone.

They had to have a Balboa Bar...

And go on the ferris wheel too of course!

Some serious chopper riding

Dexter won these glow-in-the-dark fangs

Legoland was decorated for Halloween too.  It was so fun for Dexter especially because it was his first time and he is super into legos.

Meeting Bob was fun for Jaxon!

There was a lot of naps in the car during their visit, we were all very tired from so many activities during the week so we just relaxed here at the beach for the weekend.

Stay tuned for more pictures of our adventures with my parents this week!
