The boys braved some wet weather to get their trick or treating done right. Tammy took everyone out at the beginning of the night and I took over with the big kids when they had made their first loop. We have still not made it through the entire ward but this year was definitely the farthest we’ve ever gotten.

Scott and Nicole came over with their cute baby ladybug and had fun walking around with us in the rain.

It gets more crazy each year but this is the first year that the older boys actually did their pumpkins on their own! And they turned out pretty darn good if I do say so myself.

Braeden: I get the “jitters” when something pops up suddenly.

Owen: I get the “jitters” when I’m going to talk to a girl that I don’t know.

Just in case there was a shred of doubt that these guys are fraternal twins.

These guys are serious about their rockets and even get FAA clearance for some huge rocket flights. When I was a kid we would make some model rockets using D class rockets. We thought that was pretty fancy stuff. The rockets we were looking at were H and larger.

Next year maybe we’ll put up some rockets of our own, but it’s always fun to go down and watch some launches. Even just hanging out on the Salt Flats is a crazy experience in its own right.

Here’s some of the pictures, you can see all of them, plus video, on flickr.

Of course, as soon as you make a decision like that, things will conspire against you to thwart your plans. Tammy ran to the store to get matching shirts and pants for the boys and made it back in time to get everyone dressed. Once we got all the boys dressed up the messes started magically appearing. Owen soaked his shirt while trying to do his hair. Gavin slobbered all down the front of himself. Owen got a bloody nose on the way to the store.

Once we were in place it was time to position the boys. Not an easy task. Owen needed to be in the back so you couldn’t see his bloody shirt. Braeden had to hold Jackson in such a way that he didn’t look like he was dying. Gavin needed to keep his arms down and shirt on. Jackson is a baby, enough said.

All in all the boys did great. We got some great shots that really captured the boys personalities that we are going to love having in the years to come. We also got some great shots of Jackson that will be great to pull out for all Prom Dates. It may take another baby to get us back to the studio, but you can’t argue with the results.
