Christmas bells are ringing!

We went to Brawley for a little post Turkey Day celebration with the Jenkins family. Austin & Morgan are playing much better together...well, sometimes they are. the rest of the time it is just good ol' fashion brother & sister arguing and pestering.



Super Morgan helped decorate the christmas tree.


Then we just all sat around and admired the pretty lights and all of the other things we can't touch!







Andrea provided a little mobile entertainment for Austin. Hee Haw!



We call this "gooby face"

Has it REALLY been two months??? Sorry Mom!

To kick the October festivities off we took the kids to the pumpkin patch.Morgan was less than thrilled to be there, plus it was WAAAAAY past nap time. Mom's fault!Austin go to ride the little tractor ride and had a blast!And these were the final selections.Then we had to carve the pumpkin. You will notice that we start with two children at the table and helping, then as we go one disappears...Austin getting down and dirty diggin' out the guts. Austin was Sherrif Woody from Toy Story, but he wasn't real jazzed about the hat.

Story time at the day care party.
Look quickly, I got one of him with the hat on!


Morgan didn't like her hat either. She was a pink poodle




Paiton (Bumble Bee) Morgan and Austin


Dad and his little poodle/pit bull!
I think I need one of those high speed cameras like they use at the track field so I can better capture the kids together.





My little Poodle, she was so stinkin' cute! Grumpy, but cute!


Oh yeah, and sometime in September we went to the fire department.

Taking a walk on the wild side!

Crazy hair Garcia taking a swim.
Austin with his serious look. Strike a pose!




LOOOK AT ME WALKING!!!!!!



I have been perfecting my first steps and I am at about 95% proficiency at this point. I do believe I will be entering the next Hanford marathon.





Still a little wobbly, but I am getting there.

Baseball game and playing in the park

We went down to the park this morning and Austin discovered the water feature that they have. It was great spontaneous fun.






While Austin danced, Morgan wasn't so convinced that this was great.






We had a play date and Morgan got to play with all the big kids. It wasn't easy getting non-stop attention from all the big kids!












Granny took us to a AAA baseball game. Morgan missed it this year but next year she will be all over it!

















The cool thing was at the park they had all kinds of kid-friendly activities before the game!

Santa Cruz and cool weather

We took a trip to Santa Cruz this past weekend for a little escape from the heat. We kicked off the weekend at The Boardwalk, it was great and so kid friendly. With Austin you never know what he will enjoy so this was a crap shoot and it paid off in full! He LOVED it! He was so cool as a wanna-be truck driver.Ms. Morgan and I watching her crazy brother.Aust loved the boats and didn't mind sharing with another little boy.This is what two nap-less kids look like after a 5 hour drive and a full day at The Boardwalk.This is Xitloli and Morgan enjoying a little breakfast. They are a day apart and it is going to be fun watching them grow up together!
Morgan has adopted her brothers passion for four wheeled vehiclesDay Two we headed out to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Both kids enjoyed the aquarium and it was great how interactive it was for ALL ages. Adrian and the kids overlooking Monterey BayMorgan learning about waves on a circular waterbed looking thing. She loved it!

Since we had a little extra time on our way home we cruised through Casa de Fruta and we may have even stumbled across the chocolate covered strawberries...
