Partyin' in Cannonville

Time for our annual "Mexico in Cannonville" Halloween party again. I think it's the funnest family party of the year. 
 Grandma Bonnie and Uncle Mark's family always come over for it too. 

 We make the yummiest mexican food in memory of our Mexico days. 
 The cousins had SO much fun playing together this year. They spent hour and hours and hours working on some amazing forts they built out in the wash. Even when it was raining and cold they just kept working. 



 The big boys. 
 Grandma was a super model (that's what I called her anyway)
 This skeleton could really hula hoop!!
 We LOVE Grandma Bonnie!
 Will is such a good sport - he is quite a bit older than everybody but he just helps everybody out and has the best attitude. 
 Cousin friends are the best. 
 Uncle Dustin's traditional mustache handout!


 It was time to start the piñata, we start with the youngest but Matie was nowhere to be found! Isaac found her up by our trailer. 

 The pumkin piñata was crazy! Sometimes it would swing really high and come back and knock over the person who was trying to hit it! And sometimes it would just fly off the rope! (or maybe it was the person pulling the rope that was crazy)

 Uncle Dustin rigging up the pumpkin one of the times it fell off. 
 My little old men. 
 Jackson giving it a whack!

 Jackson knocked it off - but not open. 
 …..And the super model with her man. 

 Torry spent lots of hours with the cousins too.
 Emma Lynn's turn to hit it.  I think it was extra hard to break now that it was wrapped in duck tape!
 Isaac's turn!


 We had our Fiesta on Friday the first day we got up there and it's a good thing because it was the warmest day. After that it got really cold, windy and even some snow. 

 Finally the pumpkin cracked!
 Uncle Dustin jumped on the dog pile….
 …..then Uncle Corey jumped on top of him!
 He loves the staches...
 …..and the eye patches. 
 A little while after our fiesta we headed over to Cannonville to play at the park and go trick-or-treating. 
 The Cannonville people were so nice to share their candy with us. 
 I didn't take a whole lot of pictures after Fiesta Friday but I did take a few on Sunday when we were getting all ready for church in our trailer. 
 Anna was brushing her dolls……head. 
 And we made it to the newly remodeled Cannonville church. 
 The kids even went to their classes super good. 


 Monday morning we packed up and started for home. Rain, shine or snow my kids and I always stop at the Canyon Park in Cedar City. 
 They had fun running around in the snow. (until Jackson started crying because his hands were froze)
 Isaac made a giant snow ball. 
….and some random guy helped him make it into a snow man. 
 It was so pretty. 
 Such adventures.
