Turning 26!

So it was my birthday this weekend and it's a tradition for us to go up to Green Bluff. It was a chilly day, which it usually is up at the orchards, and we were all bundled up for the day. Nixon looked so cute decked out in his autumn colors and pumpkin hat, which I made for him last year and luckily I made it HUGE so it fits him perfectly this year.
This is a classic picture of Nixon with his tongue out, tasting that crisp air I guess.
Jon and Nixon were waiting for the little train ride.

Nixon and I waiting for the train too.

Here we are on the train ride. The train just went around the orchards and was not too long, but it was fun. Nixon didn't say a word he just watched us ride along by all the pumpkins and apple trees.

While Nixon was on the train he liked standing on the bench and watching the train cars behind us.

Here we are at the pumpkin patch, isn't it cute.

Picking out our pumpkin.. ok maybe we didn't buy THIS exact one. We got free ones that were little, but that is not important for the picture:)

Jon and Nixon (our little pumpkin)

Nixon wanted to carry the pumpkin, he likes to be like his daddy.

Nixon liked the "hum" of the train engine. He loves the vacuum "hum" too, he sits there and puts both hands on it.

Cute boys!

Then we played in this pirate ship that was a mini play ground in a way. Nixon loved the window that he could poke his head out.

I told him to give me a kiss and this is a picture of him .. "giving me a kiss"

SO CUTE!!

Up on the ship, with our rosy cheeks.

I took Nixon down the slide.. and totally fell right on my butt, it was embarrassing but pretty funny. I would have laughed at me too!

Nixon and Daddy on top of the ship.

After the ship, we went through a "little" of the corn maze.

We jumped out at Nixon when we could, he thought it was fun to be chased around.

There was string put up on some of the maze making is so you couldn't go this way, Nixon didn't listen. He thought it was a game to get to the other side.

He liked crawling under the string, he thought he was pretty cool.

Up at the top of the BIG castle.

After eating a VERY delicious caramel apple at Green Bluff we headed out. Karen and Mark were so nice to watch Nixon that night so Jon and I could go out to dinner. We went to The White House Grill, which is a great Italian restaurant. We went out with some of our friends too, Heather, Tyson, Jeff and Natalie. We had a great time!! Yum, it was good!



On my birthday I waited until Nixon woke up to open my presents. That was not until 10 am when Nixon finally woke up.. Happy Birthday to me!!!

My mom gave me a Harry Potter snow globe. It plays the theme and everything, it's so cute on my mantel.

Mark and Karen gave me cookie sheets. I need to make some cookies now:)

Nixon liked pulling the paper out of the boxes and throw it around the room, it was cute.

I let Nixon pull the paper off, it took forever because he thought each piece was such an accomplishment. We finally just ripped it off.

Yep, still ripping that paper.

I got a new shirt... cute huh!

My Aunt Connee sent me this present and it had a flatten bow, she said to make it look good again before I opened the present.
I did, it's cute huh!

She got me some books, to read to Nixon. We LOVE books!

I read to Nixon as he played.

He carried the little book around all day.

Then of course I made Gramsy's homemade cake for my birthday... and ate it in a few days:)

I realize now that all these birthday pictures of are me in my pajamas. I did get ready for the day, I promise.

This is a video of Nixon doing his animal noises, it's freakin' funny.

Nixon giving kisses, he is adorable.
