This year our kids participated in an annual fundraiser for leukemia called Trick or Treat in the Heat. The event is in memory of a 5 year old boy named Ian who died of leukemia three years ago. His favorite holiday was Halloween and it didn't look like he was going to make it to the next one. So his neighborhood had Halloween early for him and all the kids dressed up and went trick or treating in the heat, since it's normally snowy and cold by the time Halloween arrives around here. Since then they have held the event as a fundraiser and we were lucky enough to join in on the fun. Except it was anything but warm out. The wind was blowing like crazy and it was quite chilly. But it was still tons of fun.
Below are the kids trying out some costumes.....thanks to Grandma Kay.
This is Asher as 'the Beast' and Shira as 'Belle the Beauty.' Only the bottom half of Asher's costume was a little small. You can really tell if you look close. Poor kid.
Since we also had the 'Cowardly Lion', we decided to combine the two costumes so they could go as Beauty and the Beast. But here Asher is demonstrating the not so cowardly lion.
And here is Asher as Superman!
This next shot was taken by our local newspaper. It was in the paper!
My kids are totally famous!

Hey Amy. This is Brooke Lundholm from the BYU 59th ward. We used to hang out together with ValaRae and Travis Allred. Your kids are getting so big. I was just thinking about people from the old ward this week and thought I would see if I could find any of them. Sister Blaine passed away and so I was trying to let people know. Your family is cute
Amy - I was blog surfing today and found your sweet family. I just wanted to say that I LOVE the Superman costume and it was fun to see exactly what Asher was telling me about. It looks like you guys had a good Halloween.
