6th Annual Corkrey Secret Costume Party

I can't believe we've been having an annual Halloween party for 6 years! We've had some great costumes and the competition is steep. It gets harder every year to come up with something original and creative. This year we based our costumes off of a picture I found online that was perfect for Channing. Unfortunately, every time I was taking pictures, Channing was sleeping or just plain grumpy so I personally did not get any pictures of him in his costume. But there are some, I just have yet to see them.=) And actually, I took some when we took Lucas trick-or-treating but they're still on my camera so I'll have to update on that later. Anyway, Channing was the MOST adorable lobster in a pot, I was the famous chef Julia Childs, Josh was a fisherman and Lucas was THE cutest chef. Ever. It was another great year. Here is the party told through pictures...

Don't you just love Lucas' face! Too bad we're missing Channing, he was sleeping. He won "Cutest Kid", a well deserved title=)

Lucas and his girl buddy Jenna. Jenna was the first name he learned to say and now every girl is Jenna=)

Me and my friend Alyssa as Little Red Riding Hood

Grammy as Abby from NCIS and Channing sleeping in his costume appropriate onesie=)

L to R: Hailie the pirate, Jerry Old Man Pimp, Jenna as SuperGirl and Amber as a pirate. Jerry won "Top Spot" (Best Costume)

L to R: Hailie the pirate, Chelsea as Harry Potter and her daughter Zoey dressed in her mom's 80's clothes!

A.J. and Matt won "Best Theme" as Olive Oyl and Popeye. Doesn't she make the best Olive Oyl?!

My brother Isaiah as Blade

My mama as Abbey from NCIS. She won "Most Creative". Check out Landon's face!=)

A girl picture with those that were left. This is the only picture I have of Camie the cowgirl. Her hubby was a cowboy and their son Landon (seen above without his costume) was a cow!

I'm already making a list of ideas for next year. It seems I forget all my great ideas as Halloween approaches so I'm writing them down so I can pick the best one! Thanks to everyone who made this year so fun!

Fall is here!

It's just the beginning of October and we've already visited a pumpkin patch. It was Lucas and Channing's first time ever to a pumpkin patch. It was our first time to Spooner Farm's. We went with our life group and we had so much fun! They have a ton of free activities for the kids...animals, water duck races, Alice in Wonderland themed patch. Plus, other inexpensive activities and yummy food like corn on the cob, caramel apples and mini donuts. We started at the animal barn...
