Halloween 2011

We had a great Halloween this year!!!! We LOVE Halloween.

We had two American Ninja Warriors and the cutest turtle you ever saw!!

Seriously, cute!

Turtle boy...

Adorable...

I was one of Warren Jeffs wives. I won the prize for Bunco and created quite the controversy. hahaha..Just what I expect from a Halloween costume. David was a little weirded out because he thought I look too authentic. haha

David was some sort of Dr. Death. He was able to get a hearse and an old casket for our "trunk or treat" at the church. We had a strobe light and dry ice to add to the creepy effect. We WON best vehicle!! I like to win ;)

Milius Family 2011. btw that is a fake prego belly!

Creepy old casket!!!!

Just because he is gorgeous....

Just because he is gorgeous.....

Black Island Farms...

Every year the kids preschool goes to the pumpkin patch! My kids love it. They have slides, hay rides, animals and face in the hole. ;) Being the great mother I am ;) I allowed Brielle to skip school and we made a family day of it.

This is Dawson with his best buddies, Trevor and Hank.

My kids...I'm so proud.

The three amigos...

First Birthday Photos....

My sister Karly took first year photos of Dallin this year and I have to say I like them better than Kiddie Kandids! (which has gone down hill since their buyout) My sister does great work, is very reasonably priced and getting a nice new camera next week, so check her out here.

Okay some people do not like his crown but I DO...so too bad! ;)

This is one of my FAVORITES! I saw this picture idea on pinterest but it was a little girl wearing her moms heels. Well since I do not have a girl...we improvised with David's vans. I love how it shows how small he still is.

My sis had a great idea to let him do the cake again and take pictures as he goes....They turned out awesome!

Poor cake never had a chance! HA

Disclaimer: I have the cutest baby ever! Just sayin. hehe

Dallin Turns 1....

Cannot believe that my little brown eyed, olive skinned, Italian baby is a year old. It seems it went so very slow but also very fast! He did not sleep through the night until 10 months old. He has 10 teeth including 2 molars and the bottom 2 are almost in. He is tall and skinny coming in at 75% percentile for height and 50% for weight. He was just recently weaned and was not happy about it but has taken to whole milk wonderfully. He smiles all the time and lights up the room when he does. He loves his family and his mommy most. :) He eats anything you put in his mouth but seems to get hives from strawberries. He can say, dada, mama, dogdog and a few other words that seem repetitive but I'm unsure on what they mean yet.

For his birthday we decided we would do a Monkey theme! We were so excited to be able to have some of our California family in town to celebrate with us!

My gorgeous Italian BOY.

Big shout out to Melissa R. for making this awesome banner and the door sign.

I made monkey cups....with the help of some besties.

I made monkey cupcakes.....

We had a huge Mexican feast which included these yummy creamy chicken taquitos!..MMMM

My other super friend Melissa C. made this adorable cake!!! Love it!.

No party is complete without a pinata. :)

Dallin's special birthday bib.

Ready to devour that cake but he was very hesitant!

So I shoved his hand in it. He was not happy.

Then he caught on. ;)

The kids all got monkey faces, hats and blow thingys. :)

I did say all the kids didn't I??? No party is complete without "COKE" or "DOH" putting on a show. Thanks everyone who came to celebrate this great baby!!!
