The making of amazing cosutmes

For years, I have wanted to be Mike from Monsters, Inc. for Halloween.

This year we decided to go for it. And so began the epic Halloween costumes of 2012

It started by saran wrapping all sorts of objects that I could find in my house to make the perfect shape

 Next, was 8 layers of paper mache (30 hours of paper mache)

 When it was all done, I had to pull everything out of the large paper mache egg. This is what was inside of it. Many pillows, some blankets, a kitchen mixing bowl, an exercise ball, a bouncing ball and more

 Now the egg was empty and the rest of the costume could be made.

Lots of green fleece, felt and duct tape were added to get the final product. Meet Mike

Trisha's costume was equally AMAZING! The coolest monsters in town

As usual, we were able to wear our costumes to the fun Halloweeen party that my sister throws every year and we had a blast!

Pumpkin Patch

In October, we came to SLC one weekend and were able to go to a pumpkin patch/corn maze with Tyler and Shannon and their kids.


Sam loved running around looking for the perfect pumpkin (even though we didn't get one).

Sam loved walking/running in the corn maze trying to keep up with Logan.

We all had a really good time!
