Halloweak...

I'm not the biggest Halloween fanatic. Maybe it is my lack of creativity, but every year this holiday just seems to be a little over done and over rated to me. And between my poorly carved pumpkin and lazy last minute costume, I find myself wishing it would just get out of the way so we can move on to Thanksgiving and Christmas. This year I tried to do a little better for Wheeler's sake. We decorated the door like a spider web, carved a few pumpkins and went to both the ward trunk or treat and our neighborhood parade/ trick or treat party. Here are a few pictures... 

Come on... hats are a totally acceptable Halloween costume for adults! 

Trick or treating with Livy... who was the cutest Harry Potter ever! 

Getting down to business. 

The next morning he carried around his Mickey ears every where he went. Pretty darn cute even if Halloween is lame. 

First steps.

This past week Wheeler decided he could walk. He has been testing out baby steps for a few weeks now and moving along the couch at lightning speed... but last week out of the blue he decided that he was done holding on to things and just started walking across the room. Here is one of the first videos we took of our busy 9 month old boy!

Swan Family Reunion in Orlando

We just returned home from our Swan Family Reunion in Orlando! We had such a great time visiting with everyone and going to all the Disney theme parks. We can't wait to go back! Here are some pictures of our trip...

Our first day at Magic Kingdom. Wheeler's first ever "ride" (the Aladdin carpets). 

Checking out Mickey Mouse's house...

Getting a little bit tired.

Balloons make things better. 

A very long but fun day!

And there he goes...

The next day the whole family went to Magic Kingdom. Meg made us SFR t-shirts and we were easy to pick out in the crowd. Good work Meg!

We got into the Disney spirit! 

Ah we sure love that cute little Mickey Mouse!

More rides with daddy... but lots of crowds and waiting in line.  (avoid Disney world on Saturdays if you can help it. The difference between going Friday and Saturday was huge!) 

Sunday we rested up and stayed around the resort with the family.

Happy rested baby and mommy.

It was a toss up between the parks and the pools for lots of the kids. The pool had a pirate ship waterslide and no lines to wait in! 

Family Home Evening on Sunday night. 

Monday we went to Disney Hollywood Studios. We brought Emma and Danny with us. Poor Dan had a busted leg during the trip, but got a fast pass to the front of all of the rides! 

Wheeler was so excited to see Lightning McQueen. He loves his toy cars and that is his favorite! 

Tuesday we went to Epcot. It was MY favorite of the trip. We ate fish and chips in England, crepes in France, waffles in Belgium, fried shrimp in China and gelato in Italy! What a fun holiday!
