mexican freestyle wrestling.


it was the warmest october 31st in northern utah that i can remember, for which fox was extremely grateful.  he was able to pull off the bare-chested look like a stallion, which really was essential to preserving the integrity of the ensemble.




indiana clark, auntie juice, auntie chubbs, luchador y mama.


cousin jenna was tink.  auntie chubbs approved.


cousin abby the octopus and gramma linda.

celebrating halloween with our family was not the only purpose of our trip.  fox and i also came to utah to once again lay claim to our mutt, who'd been shackin' up with my oh-so-gracious folks while we finished up our mexico city livin'.  



i love my dog, i really do, but he really put my love to the test when he copped a squat and deposited a fresh, steamy turd on the polished floor of the salt lake international airport while walking through security.  and i didn't notice until i had carried my butterball baby, my cowering dog and my wreck-of-a-self onto our flight and taken our seats that my barn door had been wide open for who knows how long.  not sure how many people i offended that day.

Oh my gosh! That is horrible! Gunther you are a naughty dog!

Fox looks awesome! I personally love the man-boobs. Becks and Fox could start a man-boob club.

I love that picture where your dad is so casually dressed as Indiana Jones.

You look fabulous E! I want your bangs. Seriously, mine are out of control....

I love that you have a "healthy" little boy too:) He is so cute! That first picture is classic! I love his little tummy rolls!

A and L said...

i'd classify fox's ensemble under "righteous."

Amy said...

Man boobs make the costume, for sure. Where is your costume? If I may quote you from last year, "A Burton dresses up."

melanie said...

Melanie said...

Erin -- I just had to tell you that I've shown several people this week Fox's Halloween costume. I love it! Can I post a photo (with a link back to you) on my blog? If not, no worries but I think it would be fun to share since it's the world's best halloween costume.

Any luck with housing???

Awesome costume Fox! Umm...bummer about the dog. I was forgot to mention on our san diego blog adventures that I unbuttoned my pants to ease my seat belt discomfort and walked into the gas station like that...Yeah I was feeling like a million bucks when I looked down and realized I was exposing some white. Not to mention it was a pretty creepy area of LA...
Glad to know I am not alone in this world and have found camaderie with you yet again.

Ashlee said...

Utah-style Halloweenie. Love the wrestler. So hot. Great times with the fam. NICE

Brittney Daniel Liechty said...

Ok this is awesome. Love it...all of it. I'm glad your Halloween was a hit. Did Fox keep his mask on the whole time? Impressive E. You have some mad sewing skills. Mrs. Hawks would be proud. Sorry about Gunther's incident.

old me.
