The Rubbles from Bedrock

This year we decided to be the Rubbles from Bedrock (Bam Bam, Barney, and Betty) for Halloween! I made Nixon's costume out of one of my old dance costumes, Chases I made out of a blanket I found at Goodwill, and my costume I found at Goodwill. I was so happy with how they turned out! 

At our friends party...

 Isn't he the cutest little Bam Bam you have ever seen? He was so adorable. He would even say "Bam" and hit the walls with his bat. 

 I had to post this picture even if it isn't a very good one so you could see a full body shot of him :) 

 Nixon with his little girlfriends. Unfortunately he is the only boy :) but he still has a pretty good time with all of them! 

Happy Birthday Chase!

Happy birthday to Chase! He turned 28 this year and we had a fun time celebrating. Chase and I went to dinner one night, and I also planned a surprise birthday party for him! He had absolutely no idea, and I'm pretty sure that this is the only time I have been successful at any surprise (he even usually finds out what gift I get him). Anyway, it worked out perfectly because he was asleep on the couch, and when our friends got to our place, they just snuck in and hid in the front room until everyone got there. Then Chase suddenly woke up and started walking in the front room and everyone said "Surprise!"

 We had cafe rio salads for dinner and I actually ran out of time so we ended up having no bake cookies and ice cream :) But we had a blast! Happy Birthday to my sweet hubby! I hope it was a good one!

Vala's Pumpkin Patch

There is an awesome pumpkin patch in Omaha that has tons to do and we finally checked it out this year. They have tons of fun animals to see, pig races, haunted houses, and a bunch of other fun things for kids. In fact, we spent a few hours there and didn't even see everything.

 Nixon loved these little bike things! He could have stayed there all day...

 Hay ride out to the pumpkin patch..

 All smiles on the way home!

I had to included these two pictures that I forgot to add on the last post. One of Nixon's favorite things to do (well before they froze), is to pick the little cherry tomatoes off our plant in the front and eat them. When we go outside, this is the first place he goes! It is absolutely hilarious! 

He just pops them in his mouth like candy! So cute..
