Idaho Visit

Great Grandma Nye(First of all, sorry if some of the pictures are HUGE and others are small. I'm working out a glitch and hopefully they will be fixed soon! And also sorry for some of the blurred pictures and red eyes in some of them. I took my small camera to Idaho that doesn't work as well)

Nixon and I took a trip to Idaho a couple of weeks ago! My mom was telling me that she HAD to see Nixon before Christmas :) so she flew us out, and I am so grateful because I feel like Nixon is growing up so fast! We were in Idaho for almost a week, but it seemed like a very quick visit and I'm sorry we didn't get to see everyone we wanted!

It was a little nerve racking flying alone with Nixon, but he really did great, especially on the way there. On the way back, I asked to see if there were any empty seats on the flight, hoping I could get two for Nixon and I. The lady said, "This is a very full flight, but you must be living right because the only empty seat on this plane is the one next to you." I was very relieved. After we got on and sat down, I was trying to give Nixon a bottle while people were still boarding the flight. He was not having it. He was screaming, arching his back, and I couldn't settle him down. You know how that goes, lots of fun. So I decided I would try to nurse him since I had the seat empty next to me. So I got out my cover and was COMPLETELY covered and this lady walks by and looks at me like, "I can't believe she is doing THAT in public." K. So that totally got me worked up into a full body sweat, and Nixon decided he wasn't in the mood to do that either, even though I KNEW he was hungry. So I tried the bottle again, and finally he took it. I took the now sweaty nursing cover off, and I was just a little frazzled. Let me remind you that this is all while people are boarding, stopped in the aisle and staring at us. Then a cute lady starts walking towards me and looking at me like she is going to sit next to me. She loudly says, "Guess what? I am the BEST person to sit next to you. I have 4 girls at home." We laughed and I was SO relieved! Come to find out she lives in Omaha, she is a member of the church, and is looking for a piano teacher for her girls! It was so fun to get to know her and I'm excited to have made another friend out here!

One Year Older and Wiser Too

Chase turned 27 this week! We went out to dinner on Friday to a Mexican Restaurant and Nixon and I made him a birthday sign. This is a tradition in my family and I hope to continue the tradition in our family!

When Chase opened his gift from us, he was holding Nixon on his lap and when he pulled out the paper and crinkled it a bit, Nixon started crying. It was hilarious, and sad :) We reenacted it so we could get it on the video camera!

4 Months

Nixon is becoming quite the big boy. He turned 4 months last week and we love how his personality keeps coming out more and more! The main thing that he has been doing this month is playing with his toys. He loves to hold on to things and put them in his mouth. Oh, and he is also getting quite aware of me and where I am at every moment. He isn't spoiled at all :)

Labor Day

We had a BLAST on Labor Day. Not only was it fun to get to have Chase home for the three day weekend, but we had a little barbecue at our house with some friends. We invited some of Chase's classmates, their spouses, and kids.

This is our friends' baby Lainey. Look how cute Chase is with a little girl :) Can't wait!
Here is most of the group. We played a game of "Make me Laugh". Basically, you dress up goofy, put on a skit or whatever you want, and try to get somebody to laugh. Whoever breaks into a laugh has to go next...
Chase and I were Sumo Wrestlers. It was a hit :)
