Enjoy {Fall} Fun
The boys and I were driving around looking for good photo shoot locations when we stumbled upon this gorgeous site. Doesn't it just scream fall. I came up over a hill and all of the sudden was engulfed in GOLD. It was literally all you could see.
Thankfully I had my camera in the car.
And along with fall come Halloween. Grandma & Grandpa Steel sent a Halloween package in the mail full of lots of goodies. But our favorite item...the face paint. We got down to business and came up with a Zebra and Spiderman. We were entertained for hours.
Happy Fall Friends.
Romriell Farms {Halloween 2013}
Nothing overly exciting or eventful went down here this Halloween. Same old pumpkin picking, pumpkin carving, trick-or-treating kind of stuff you're used to hearing about.
I think this was the first year Preston actually understood the whole trick-or-treating business. He kept saying, "wow, I'm afraid my bag is getting full of junk". haha Apparently he's already brainwashed into thinking candy is terrible...too bad that doesn't actually stop him from eating it ;)
We kind of convinced Preston that he wanted to be a farmer. It wasn't until after the tractor was build that I think he actually was excited about it.
When in Iowa, do as the Iowans.
I realize I don't really look like a farmer (leaning more to the cowgirl side). But I'm always bummed when I don't have a costume, so I had to do something.
Preston told us he had the best halloween ever. Good thing, cause we know how important Halloween is to a little kid ;) ;)
Halloween Dinner {Spook-tacular}
This weekend was the annual Romriell family Halloween Dinner.
The day began with a costume party for the Grandkids. Which included, treasure hunting, launching pumpkins at spiders, Halloween matching game, and lunch. Followed by the opening of the Halloween Jammies (One of my favorite traditions of Dena's).


The dinner was once again a big hit.
The menu was as follows: (Hopefully I remembered all these correctly)
GROG (drink)
FRIENDLY GHOST (Napkin)
GUSHING GOO WITH BLOOD SAUCE (main dish > stuffed pasta with red sauce)
SWORDS WITH ANT DIP (fruit kabobs)
DRACULA’S DAGGER (Knife)
CRUNCHY MUMMY MUNCH (Kind of like a puppy chow mix)
MARINATED EYEBALLS (meatballs with red sauce)
STUFFED GOBLIN BUNS (cheese filled breadstick)
ZOMBIE BOWLS (mini salad bowls)
GHOULY DIPPER (Spoon)
YOU’RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE (dessert, witches legs smashed under a house)
SLAUGHTER HOUSE SQUEEL (Chocolate cherry & bacon wrapped sausage)
WISDOM CRISP (Owl cracker)
WITCH’S BROOM (Fork)
YOU’RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE STUFFED GOBLIN BUNS & ZOMBIE BOWLS
GUSHING GOO WITH BLOOD SAUCE SLAUGHTER HOUSE SQUEEL
WISDOM CRISP CRUNCHY MUMMY MUNCH
Dena puts so much work into these dinners and hopefully she knows how much we appreciate it. It is something we all look forward to every year. And It's always nice to spend a little time with the family.
We had such a fun weekend with the family, and loved that we got to be a part of the Halloween dinner this year.
Halloween Happenings
Last weekend we headed over to the in-laws for Dena's annual Halloween dinner!
(which I have no pictures of :( not because I forgot, trust me I thought about it mulitple times during dinner, but because I thought I would spare the 10 other people at the table...I know how much Skyler dislikes me camera and thought everyone else might hate it too.)
The morning of the Halloween dinner, Grandma Dena put on a little Halloween party for the grandkids
They loved it, and had lots of fun of course!
After the party we drove out to a corn maze...
Only to find a corn field that had been cut down the day before!haha bad timing I guess
So we played around and enjoyed a little tractor ride!
Monday night for family night we carved pumpkins. We asked Preston what he wanted on his and he of course said a car! So I marked it all off and Skyler carved away
Preston was very satisfied!
Right before we left I decided to wear the same colors as a lion tamer...not that anyone could tell,
More so I could say I tried!
Any time I don't get to dress up I miss it!
Halloween dinner was ghosts in the graveyard, simple and fun!
Then we bundled the boys in their costumes and headed out.
This was Preston's first Halloween Trick-Or-Treating. He wasn't to sure what he was supposed to do.
The first house we knocked on, the people opened the door, Preston said "Trick-or-Treat"
Then proceeded to walk into their house. He made it through the entryway before we caught him.
Haha Can we blame him...
It's not everyday we knock on someone's door, grab some candy and leave.
Wesley's chubby little lion paws sticking out
TOO CUTE!
"This is so fun!"
Preston was very polite and made sure he only took 1 piece of candy...even when people would tell him to take a handful.
So he came home with about 20 pieces!
And since Prest is allergic to peanut butter, 5 of those pieces were for Skyler and I...score!
Halloween Goodies
I wanted to make a yummy treat for Halloween this year and I have been seeing tons of cute cupcakes, so I decided to give it a try. I must confess...I've never decorated cupcakes before. I'm sure I've made them and slopped some frosting on top (I actually don't even remember doing that), but I know I've never tried to decorate them cute.
To get into the Halloween spirit I went with monster cupcakes. They tasted good and looked OK, so I was happy. When we lived in Rexburg my sister-in-law Chelsea made us lots of yummy treats, and her cupcakes were always filled with something delicious.
So I had to give the filling a try too. It was good, but not great...One day Chelsea will have to teach me her ways. Oh how I miss all of her tasty treats.
Leave it to me to have a photo-shoot with my mediocre cupcakes!!
And since we already had a Halloween dinner with Skyler's family, I wasn't even going to try to top that. Instead of going all out on the food I just decorated a little.

Strung a creeping spiderweb at the table and hung 3 balloons...haha nothing fancy.
And guacamole Frank joined us at the table to make us feel like it was Halloween!
