The Happiest Halloween!

October has officially come to an end!! The last day of the month... Halloween! This is Halloween......Yee-haw from Woody and Jessie! Piper changed up her costume and was Bo Peep fro, Toy Story to match daddy and myself!! Penny as Katniss Everdean! Cashy as the Chick-fil-a Cow!! Yayyy! I truly loved being Jessie that I had Honz join in the fun! haha He's such a good sport!  I got the kids their first ever Boo Basket! The entire basket were the Halloween NeeDohs! Yayyy! They were all so surprised and so hyped! Love my babies! Loved all their costume choices! 
My Little Bo Peep!!! Piper is the absolute best! Once Piper got word that daddy was going to be Woody she had to match us! She needed to be apart of the Toy Story crew!  We lucked out with her costume! We raced over to Spirit Halloween and it was the last one on the shelf!!  Yayyyy! She was so excited! Cutest costume!  She was the perfect little Bo Peep too! 
Katniss Everdean from District 12! lol Love my Penny girl! She even had the mocking jay pin! It was the added touch to complete the look!  She was the best Katniss! She was off to party hop with friends!
My Chick-fil-A Cow! Cashy is the best! He will join in any fun and especially when his girls want him to be the cow to go along with their costumes! He's always down with the plan! So fun! Love his personality! It was only fitting that we planned a photo shoot at Chick-fil-a in their costumes! It was amazing! The workers loved! They even brought them free ice creams! This was epic! Such a fun friend group costume idea!
It was our ward trunk or treat on Halloween! Our ward always hosts at a neighborhood community and it's always such a great tune out and so much fun! I decided to do a trunk this year and found the best Toy Story theme to go with our costumes! hahah "Follow Jesus to Infinity and Beyond!" hahaha Perfect for a church trunk or treat! haha! I love my Toy Story crew! My side kicks! The night started out amazing! Then the thunder storms rolled in and rolled in fast and before we knew it we were washed out! Had to pack up early! I was hiding out in my car with Piper and her bestie Remy to take cover from the rain! But man were we so cute and perfect when it started! hahah Love how o ur trunk turned out with our costumes! I'm telling you I had way too much being Jessie! 
Meanwhile with the rain pouring down so hard my Cow was having a blast with his friend group! His night also started out nice and dry and it hit fast and he was soaked! hahaha but that didn't stop these  teens from trick or treating! They had a blast in the rain getting soaked and getting all the candy! Love all their pics! He had the best night!! Pretty sure he never dried out! That fuzzy cow was soaked! lol He still had the best night with his best friends!
Over with Katniss Everdean she was living her best life! She party hopped with all her friends! Ran in the rain getting soaked! lol Went to 2 different food places through out her night and came home starved cause she didn't even eat! lol She said she was there for the social and found new friends to party hop with! hahah! That's my girl! lol Made Tik Toks and took pics!  Sounds about right! lol Teens that are driving are always on the go! lol and that's exactly my Penny girl always moving and shaking and living her best Halloween life! 
It was a Halloween success even with the crazy rain! Happiest Halloween to all!

Piper's Nevada Citizenship!

Next up for this wk! and yes we are still in October wk 4 weekly recap! Piper had her Nevada Citizenship project due and awards assembly! So much planning and prepping for her big project that it needed it's own post! So here she is!!! Piper has been working all month on planning out her project! From drawing and designing to ordering the items she needed! Part of the Nevada Citizen award she had to complete a Nevada project that represented Nevada! State symbols! Counties! Facts ect! She designed and created a high fashion denim coat!! With embroidery! Patches! and Sparkle! She had this coat packed full with several state symbols! Representing Nevada at it's finest! 
The jacket we bought! She designed the patches and we got them ordered! She met with her daddy to design the embroidery section! The full back was embroidered with the Nevada Counties! Once all her custom patches arrived she began to design her layout of her jacket! Once all mapped out she began the heat press process where she pressed the heavy machine down on the coat and the patches sealed them together! The high heat makes the patch stick! Her custom coat consisted of these patches: the state seal, state flag, Las Vegas, Hover Dam, state bird, state flower, and embroidery of the state counties! She also represented the state precious gem stones- black fire opal and turquoise with sparkled stars! The NEVADA across the top back was outlined in gold to represent the gold rush! I'm telling you she thought of every detail to add to her coat! Wow it was coming together! 
She wanted to hand out a surprise to her teacher and the other 4th grade teacher so she came up with the idea to make 3D printed earrings in the shape of Nevada! So fun! She even made the colors our school colors too! Love it! Cashy  got her all set up and ready to print from his 3D printer! Boom! Out they printed! She then hooked the earing part to the 3D printed Nevada and bagged them up! That was fun! She loved making the earrings! Fun craft and so creative! Great job Piper! 
Ta-Da!!! Just look at this finished coat! Wow! So professional! Incredible job Pipes! She got dressed up in her cute western wear and was ready to get to school to show off her new jacket! Her completed Nevada project! So proud of her! It really turned out so good! I love it so much I want a matching one! 
Upon arrival we surprised the entire 4th grade team with Cashy's Nevada project! His custom Nevada Tee he designed when he was in 4th grade! and the Nevada earrings Piper made! Her teacher was so excited and so was the entire 4th grade team! yayyy! We snapped a pic to show Cashy! He was so proud to see his shirt still being worn all these years later! Piper had the best day! So much fun celebrating Nevada with all her friends in 4th grade! They evan had a Hoe-Dow lunch! Look how great Piper's coat looked on display! Do you spot the blanket underneath?! That was Penny's Nevada project she did 7yrs ago! She made a blanket! We used as a backdrop! Love it! Love that all 3 of my kids projects were used! So awesome!
Piper's coat was the talk of the town amongst the staff and the parents! Love that for her! She was so proud of it! Next up was the Nevada Citizenship  Awards assembly! They sang the Nevada state song! Piper was given her award and metal! Yayyyy! She has worked so hard! Studying for 4 different tests and planning her big project! She passed with flying colors and was awarded her metal! Daddy and I are so proud of our baby girl! and as you can see she was extremely proud of herself! Love her for that! It was a packed full day of fun and success! Way to go Piper! She is loving her 4th grade year so much and is having a great 4th grade year thus far!
