Hee Haws and Halloween

We love Hee Haws!! We went in October for family night and I think that was just the perfect outing for a 2 year old! Jesse absolutely loved doing all the farm themed activities. The tractor ride, hayride, petting zoo, hay jump, pipe slides...just about everything was a hit with Jesse. We were there for a couple hours and still didn't get everything in. Of course my favorite part is that is was cheap too!







This was Jesse's favorite! He loves to jump!

Benson was such a good sport to let us bundle him up and drag him along with us on our outing.

The Baker Family Halloween Party was super fun again this year! I have the best in-laws and Jesse has such fun cousins that he loves to play with. Our family kind of had a theme this year with our costumes. Can you guess what it is?


Our Little Cavemen. Benson is just not feelin' the caveman brotherly love.
Oh, I need to thank my mom for making these cute caveman costumes 20 or so years ago for my brothers because I found them in her costume box and they were just perfect for my little men this year. I guess things can be that simple occasionally.

Jesse with his cousin Talia. These two are only 6 weeks apart. Aren't they super cute!

On Halloween we had fun participating in our ward's trunk-or-treat. This was our first year to trunk-or-treat and I'm already a huge fan! I love how little time it takes to get a lot of candy at these things.

After trunk or treating we went to the Kocherhans' and Grandma took Jesse trick or treating all around her neighborhood. It was funny because I had so many people compliment me on what an adorable little girl I had. In my attempts to make my little caveman's hair crazy, he ended up looking like a little girl with bouffant hair. It really didn't bother me though, I happen to think he's a beautiful boy.


Here's the pumpkin that Dave designed and carved. I think it turned out awesome. Way Spooky!

Jesse and his friend Zachary at the trunk-or-treat.

Here's our hodgepodge trunk. But hey...you do what you can.

Me at our trunk with our little cavemen.
The thing that made our trunk cool is that we had a little beanbag toss game the kids played for candy. You can see it off to the side.

Happy Halloween!

Jesse's caveman hair is amazing!!! I love it. He is getting so big. I can't believe we haven't even met Benson yet!

P.S. I love your family picture/header.

Ummm....I still have no idea what your family's theme costume is...sorry. :) I'm sure it's hilarious and/or creative though! I'm still blown away at how much your kids are like a perfect 50/50 blend of both you and Dave. Pretty cool. Life is complicated with two kids I'm sure but we'd love to hook up sometime and hang out/play. It's been a LONG time!
