Halloween 2019

Over the past few years (pretty much since Uriah was born) Halloween has become a celebrated holiday for us again. Kyle used to live in the Willow neighborhood downtown and he would always host since there are so many kids in that neighborhood. The past 2 years we have done Halloween night at our house - our current neighborhood is a bit of a dud when it comes to trick-or-treating, but it works out great for Uriah and Owen.

Kyle was home visiting this year, so a few nights before Halloween we all went to Railroad Park for the Halloween train ride.


Mom was originally planning to be an M&M, but her costume was from Goodwill and pretty much disintegrated after she washed it. So, a cat came through as an easy last-minute idea.
Dave and I were a soap and loofah. I had grand plans to make this costume based on Pinterest, but Dave found it cheap on Amazon so we went the simple route.
Uriah and Owen were race car drivers, and Kellyn and Coby were their pit crew.
Kyle didn't come prepared with a costume, but we had a bunch of glow sticks so he became glow stick man. Pretty creative!
Dinner before trick-or-treating.
Our jack-o-lantern. We hadn't carved anything prior to the 31st, and I saw an idea for a polka dot pumpkin where you used a drill to make the holes. Super easy.
Loot! (Even though they will not eat the majority of this.)
Mom brought candles so everyone could sing Happy Birthday to both Kyle and I.

Dear Baby Owen,

A week ago, on January 26th, 2018, you turned ONE year old. You surprised us all a year ago by coming early - you weren't supposed to be born until February. I got a text from your Grandma Janis telling me you were coming - it didn't seem long at all and then I received this first picture of you. 
Owen Victor Hiatt
7lbs; 19.5 inches
I was actually in NYC when you were born and flew back to AZ on January 29th. I came straight from the airport to see you. This picture is of you crying but that is actually the exact opposite of your personality - I just liked Uriah and my faces in this picture.
You are the most laid back, happy and easy going baby.
Since I was in NYC when you were born, I got you a copy of The New York Times from your birthdate and an I <3 ny="" onesie.="" p="">
I am thankful that I live near you and have been able to see you often during your first year...
...and take a trip to Disneyland and the beach with you too.
I hope your personality never changes - you have so much joy and that is contagious when we are around you.

I'm excited to see how you grow and what your second year holds for you.


I love you baby Owen and I couldn't be more proud to be your aunt.
