Way Back Walker Wednesday ~ Halloween Style!!!

Well, I thought it would be fun if I posted pictures of Walker &
Hadlee from each Halloween so far (and don't EVEN think
that I'm backtracking so Walker won't ask why he wasn't
blogged about from age one to five!).
I had so much fun...
I laughed & cried all at the same time looking through these pics!
Then I realized I couldn't just grab one of each so
I just had to make TWO posts (Pre and Post Hadlee!).

Here is Walker's first Halloween!!!
He was our precious fireman at two months old...
Walker was a REAL punkin' that first Halloween.
Troy even carved his little man's face into a pumpkin...
Then when he was one, he was Clifford the Big Red Dog.
We laughed SO hard that night over this costume...
Kate was a puppy dog. I'll never forget Kelli & I
laughing hysterically in her front yard over them
running around ~ all we could see were their doggie heads!!! It was Spiderman at age two (hummm,
that's funny...wait 'til you see who he is this year!)!Walker LOVED this costume and he wore it A LOT!
In fact, some of his friends wear it now when they
come over to play! Hadlee would LIKE to wear it THIS
Halloween...I am praying she comes to her senses
before Friday night!!!

This little guy has owned my heart since day one...

Always My Sweet Punkin'...

When Walker was three, he was ALL ABOUT Thomas!!! Little Halloween Hoodies...

My nephew, Hunter (he loved those scary costumes!)...And of course our precious Kate Kate! She has always been a special part of Halloween for us!I was pregnant with Haddie Girl here...but I'm saving her first Halloweens for tomorrow! BOO HOO!!!

I wouldn't trade my Walker Halloween memories for ANYTHING!!!

Hoodie Halloweens...

Our neighborhood is ALL about Halloween!
Nothin scary, just all fun, fun, fun!
AHHH...check out our long lost neighbor Mark!
It was a treat every year to see how Mark
was going to dress up...
So sad he & his sweet family had to move!
This was a GROOVY Halloween in 2005.
I was preggers with Sweet Baby Girl and wearing
another of my mother's outfits from the 70's!
T-dawg was smokin' HOT!!!
SUPERSTARS...in 2006!


In 2007, our theme was dress like you did way back
when (80's, although I went early 90's). I was THRILLED
to get my CRIMPER out and wear my junior
year prom dress one more time!!!
And T-dawg couldn't wait to wear his FFA jacket, his
football jersey and a MULLET (which he really never had!).
This time we were both smokin' HOT! ha!!! The Hoodies are always so good about celebrating
Troy's birthday...perfect timing with Hoodie Halloweens!
I was nice on the previous Hoodie Halloween pics NOT
to share EVERYONE's pictures, but not for this one...
Yep, ALL the Hoodies are SMOKIN' HOT!!!

Murder at the Reeds!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dunt dun daaaaaaa...
The Reeds hosted a "HOW TO HOST a MURDER" party!!!
We received our invites a couple of weeks ago with our
characters and we've all been so excited about this night!

Since we would be dealing with murder,
we decided it best for the Little Hoodies to have
sitters at our house...
Walker, Hadlee and I had fun setting up for
the Lil' Hoodie Halloween Bash...

Meet Delbert Toydes. He was the quarterback of the
Varsity football team & the "Big Hitter" on the
baseball team back in 1954.

Check out his high top sneakers...

Meet Dierdre C. Deucer! "Dee" was the Homecoming Queen
from the wrong side of the tracks.
(Too bad after I got ready I realized I looked more
like Pam Anderson WITHOUT the tiny body
and the you know whats!!!)...

Have you ever seen a more adorable hostess?!?
The setting was a 1954 Roley City High Class Reunion.
The decorations and here's that cute hostess again were
so cute! The kitchen was set up as Malties,
the old high school hang out!!!

The Hoodies know how to get into character! Everyone
looked AWESOME!!! The Little Hoodies ate burgers
with us on the outside patio of Malties before
heading to their own partay!


Meet the couples...





No Hoodie party is complete without funny gifts!
This one was long overdue...
You never know what you're going to get
when it's from the Hoodies...
The Reeds pool was finished at the very end of
summer so we were just now giving them
their gift! HA HA!!!

The Cast...

I came thinking that I would totally leave the party with an award...I was all about scandalous "Dee"! Let me just say though that there are some Hoodies who can ACT!!! Everyone was hilarious and brought such personality to their roles! We laughed so hard. The Reeds were awesome for hosting! You may have noticed that one of the Hoodie men came as the cheerleader. That was because his hot wife, Elizabeth, is sporting a cute baby boy bump right now so she couldn't get the cheer skirt to work! They were a riot! Needless to say the Academy Award goes to...

E.C. and Calvin Q. Layder!!!


By the time we made it back to the Little Hoodies Partay,

look how we found Sweet Haddie Girl...

What a fun night!
