Happy Holloween!!

Trick-or-Treating again, again, and AGAIN! This year was so much fun because the boys were so into it. I wish I would of video taped Beckham waddling around in his costume, it was pretty cute. . . my favorite part was the little tail that wiggled from side to side. Kelan wasn't super excited about being a farmer but I talked him into it by getting him some "Farmer Boots"/ Spider man rain boots. He was a good sport and next year he gets to be whatever he wants.

Children's Museum

This year we went Trick-or-Treating at the Children's Museum because Spence was going to be out of town for Halloween. It was so fun and the boys loved playing while mom and dad waited in line for them. So FUN!

Beckham shooting the balls in the basket... weird?
The Farmer and his Ducky.

Preschool Party

Kelan and his Preschool class singing at the Retirement home. It was so cute to hear them sing all their Halloween songs. The residents loved it!

Kelan and Sydney... Kelan thinks Sydney is the BEST!

The Botanical Gardens

We walked down to the Gardens to do a little trick-or-treating and crafts.


Village Green

We walked and waddled around Village Green. I felt bad because Beckham loved trick-or-treating but he was so slow he just couldn't keep up. Kelan, Lily and Brady would go to about four houses for every one Beckham made it to.

Beckham and Bella slowly but surely making their way around.

Farmer, Farm Girl and their Duck. The Ducky was pooped!
Our finished painting... Kelan did a great job!
Thank goodness this snow storm just missed Halloween. That would've been sad because this Mommy doesn't go out in that.

Pumpkin Patches & Pumpkin Parties

It is sad to say but this is probably our last Halloween in Omaha. We went to Valla's Pumpkin Patch with the boys and they LOVED it! Last year Beckham wasn't old enough to really get into it but this year he had a blast. We did it all from food, to the hay rack ride, to the pig races... the fun was endless. I am so glad we made it out one last time, this is definitely something I will miss about Omaha.

Kettle Corn and Hot Coco... yum.
Beckham loves to Cheese it up.
Kelan was a little disappointed he didn't get to take this pumpkin home with him.
Might as well see how much we can get out of them.
We couldn't talk Beckham into the Jumping pillows. His answer every time was "NO!"
... don't worry he isn't eating the corn. He shoved a handful of popcorn in his mouth before he jumped in. I'm not that bad of a mom... Hahaha.
Making a corn angel.
Beckham loved the tire horse but wanted to know where the real hose was... he couldn't figure out why we were calling this a horse.
We had to ride these a couple times. They were so fun! You get going pretty fast as long as you don't have a bunch of girls in front of you. I am glad we didn't loose Beckham or Kelan they were bouncing around a ton and there weren't any seat belts.


Goat Bridges.
Vala's Rocks!
Beckham cheering on the pigs.
... And to top the night off with some root-beer.


Pumpkin Party
We had a pumpkin party with some friends. The girls made pizza and carmel apples while the boys painted and carved pumpkins.
Joe and Kelan thought their red tongues were the coolest thing ever.
Cheesy Beckham and Will.
Bella playing hard to get while Beckham is going in for a big sloppy kiss.
The best pizza ever thanks to Orsies crust, Katie's sauce and some amazing toppings.
Delicious carmel apples.
Joe and Kelan painted some very beautiful pumpkins.
Spooky, spooky!

RaNDoM FUn!!!

These are all random pictures from different activities we have been up to over the past few months... They were just too cute and fun to not post.

Splash Station
I love the look of annoyance on all their faces.
Kelan lookin out the window?

Preschool Zoo trip
This was Kelan's first field trip. Funny Story: they needed volunteers to help out so I thought this would be a fun trip to go on. Kelan told me "mom I don't want you to come to the zoo with me" and I said "why"? Kelan said "okay you can come but only if I can still ride the bus." Pretty sure that was his favorite part. I am glad he will still claim me as his mom and let me tag along. :) Love you Kelan. You are growing up way too fast!
This picture cracks me up. What are you looking at?

Halloween time
Kelan has been begging and begging me to paint the window. We finally did it and he helped out a ton. He eventually got to the point where he said "mom I don't know if we should do this every year." He did such a good job! Hopefully we don't have to do it next year. :)

KC trip
Spencer had his fall break so we decided to head down to Kansas City before Ansley has her baby. It was so fun to enjoy some Halloween festivities with the Bunnell's.
The hay maze.
Cohen loved following Kelan around.
Now this is the Anderson sleeping position. I am going to have to start blogging pictures of all Spencer's family in this position. Tilt the head and they're out.

Kansas City Trip

Ansley and T.J. recently moved to Kansas City so we decided to stop on by over Labor Day weekend. We carpooled over with Josh, Dana, and Bella. It is so nice that they live so close now. It was a lot of fun hanging out and seeing what Kansas City has to offer. Thanks for the fun weekend!

Good Food + Good Friends = GoOD TimEs!!!
Deliciousness... The best cupcakes EVER!
Party Time...
Looking exhausted

Checking out all the Church sites...

Good Food?
For the boys... yes. For the girls... not so much. It was good but sure GrEAsY. We ate at a southern food resturaunt and it was seriously authentic. Check out those ribs.
