Happenings

We have been having too much fun lately! Last weekend started with us taking our friend Lina and the kids to the children's museum. It was hard to get a picture of the girls together (they are only 4 months apart) because they didn't stand still, or stop talking, long enough! Andy enjoyed himself as well, and was glad the girls were so distracted because he was less tormented than he would be on any given day. We loved this place because there are employees all over the place, armed with antibacterial spray just waiting to clean up after you! Yes! A parents heaven!

Notice the "seriously mom, I am shopping!" look she is giving me here!

She didn't even bother looking at me in this one! Ha!

Andy was a little more cooperative...for once.Just about every weekend we go to Avila Valley Barn to get our fruit and veggies for the week, and because both kids really love feeding the animals. But this time of the year is the best with all the fall stuff. Can you find the pumpkin?

We met Grandpa Mel and Grandma CC there and took a little hay ride to the pumpkin patch. We never got off the tractor, but it was still a huge hit!

This was this weekend going to Avila Valley, Julie dressed herself and Andy was sporting his new bomber jacket, so I couldn't resist!

Last night we had a diaper party at our house for Joe and Heather as they are expecting their second little girl (Audrey Opal) in November. John and I mostly just cleaned the house and John BBq'ed. The rest was put together by Heather's sister in law April. She is great and throws an awesome party! She is also pregnant! Yay! Here is a cute picture of Lina, Julie and Anna (Lina's cousin who's mom is expecting twin boys!). Aren't they adorable! Here is April and I with Heather. Love these girls!

Tonight we celebrated Uncle Monsters birthday! Julie could not wait for him to get here so they could watch the video to "Octopus's Garden" Andy enjoyed it as well.

A couple weeks ago Julie asked if she could blow out his birthday candles. Of course he said yes and she has been talking about it ever since. He kept his word and was more than happy to share his big moment with Julie Monster.

After Julie was put to bed with another viewing of Octopus's Garden, we got to spend a few moments with our friends. We have not gotten to see them very much lately with crazy work schedules and different internal clocks. So even though it was a quiet night, it was very nice to see our friends. Happy Birthday Uncle Monster! We love you!
