Happy Halloween...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone. We had a lot of fun on Halloween and we hope everyone else did too. This year, even I dressed up... "heck why not" I thought. Nixon was an adorable T -i-double-ger that spells Tigger and wore his costume all night and didn't seem to mind at all. I was Abby from NCIS.. hee hee it was fun:)

Tigger... trying to get his hood off.

Jon and Nixon on Halloween night! Aren't they adorable?

SO CUTE! This is my favorite picture.

Nixon stole Pompa phone out of his shirt pocket while he was sleeping on the couch... hee hee. He got it and then looked at Pompa like "Hey I have your phone."

Nixon with his pumpkin bucket.

Don't you just LOVE Halloween, it's so fun.

Pompa and Nixon.

Cody, as Thomas the Train.

Ryan in his pink shirt and crazy wig.. any excuse to wear his pink shirt!!

At Grandma's with all the pumpkins, she does a great job every year of decorating for Halloween.

Nixon "helping" Kathleen play the little piano. He liked following the big kids around all night.

I couldn't take enough picture of my adorable Tigger.

Me and Jon.

Brandon as Wall-e

Kathleen was a vampire.

The fire face pumpkin.

The skeleton pumpkin.

Oh and me .. as Abby.

The big spider is going to get me.. AHHHHH

Ok if this isn't the cutest picture ever of the kids Trick or Treating. Nixon only went to a couple of houses.

BUT he got his FIRST sucker and so we think it was a success.

He was lovin' the sucker.

Thomas was lovin' the Sprite.

Nixon got SO sticky and wet from the sucker... it was funny.

And a goofy picture of Nixon to end the Halloween night!!

Jump AND Bounce

Jon's brother Ryan and his family came into town this Halloween weekend and we spent some time goofing off. On Friday we all went to this place called "Jump and Bounce," where there is a lot of jumping and bouncing... ha ha. Jon was pretty happy that Nixon needed help on most of the toys because that meant he had to do them too:) So we ignored the KIDS ONLY NO ADULTS signs and had a lot of fun.

Nixon liked the stairs the best part... no shock there!

Here they come down the slide... weeeeeeee!

Crawling through the tunnels!

There was a play area for JUST TODDLERS and it was nice because he could do most of it by himself.

He liked the little ramp that he could go up and down, up and down.

A mini slide.

There was a boxing ring... that was funny to watch the kids in.

Pumpkin Carving

It's that time again where we go up to the Grandparents house and carve a bunch of pumpkins. We love this tradition and I think it's a lot of fun as a family. This year was a bit different as I had to keep an eye on Nixon who wanted to explore and be a big boy. And as you will tell I took a lot of random pictures of Nixon at this event. Jon is a good pumpkin carver so I let him be the carver and I was the watcher this year, just the way I like it.

Here is Jon's skeleton face... It looks awesome!!

Nixon liked the big pile of pumpkins in the garage. He went from one to another checking them ALL out.

The best is when he tried to pick them up, he would do a big grunt and his face would go all red. It was adorable and of course I missed it on the camera... but you can imagine it:)

Here is Jon carving his second pumpkin.

While I was inside making our homemade pizza ( a tradition on carving night) Nixon found himself a sweet onion and carried it around the house. I found him in the bedroom trying to EAT the onion... yuck! You would think I starve the boy of all his vegetables or something.

This is Nixon's FAMOUS way of telling you he needs help. The little hand gesture is adorable and he uses it ALL day long of course. But I caught it on camera... he needs help down the stairs like a big boy.
