We went to the trunk or treat at the church on Saturday. Brendin had a lot of fun!
Ah don't they look cute. Brendin is a worker man, he calls it.
Brendin's Pumpkin, he carved some of it himself!
Brendin wanted a Transformer Pumpkin, Q drew it I carved it.
Of course the artists pumpkin, he free handed it and used his power tools to carve it out. Ya I'm not that talented.
The babies are growing so fast, they are now sitting up by themselves, they still fall over sometimes. They are eating all the baby foods and they love eating bananas from the mesh thing it is so cool I love it, both of them love to watch each other while they are eating. It is funny when they eat fruit they make a sour face because they are not used to something so sweet, normally I mix it with there cereal. They are just rolling all over the house and I know they want to crawl so bad so they kind scoot on there belly. They both are very loud and talk and scream a lot. Both of them say mama and dada mostly babbling it is cute. Brendin is great he is getting so big and very independent he wants to do everything by himself, wich is good but kind of sad for me, he is growing up. He can spell his name and we are teaching him how to write it he catches on pretty fast, he also learns writing and stuff in school. so that is about the little ones!! Quentin and I went on a date the other night to a movie we saw Nights in Rodanthe its a chick flip but a real tear jerker even the men that were in the movies were wiping there eyes, it was good but sad.
Oh my goodness I can't believe it as I am writing this it is snowing outside like crazy, I think this is one of the earliest snow seasons I have every seen it is insane, there is so much snow outside right now and it is so cold!! This is so crazy it feels like Christmas time.
Quentin had the week off so we went on our first family trip through Yosemite. Quentin wanted to drive all they way through the park, I didn't realize it was such a long drive, but it was beautiful. We saw a couple of deer along the way, we stopped and checked them out, they were so close to us. By the end of the drive through Yosemite to the hotel the babies were so sick of being in there car seats they cried for the last 20 minutes. The next morning we went to the Sugar Pine Railroad and took an hour steam train ride, Brendin really loved it. The ride was pretty neat, they just talked about all the logging they did bake in the day. After that we went and had some lunch, then continued on back through the park and stopped and looked at Half Dome and I cant remember what the other mountain was called but it was a beautiful site to see. On we went to Bridalveil Fall, it was the shortest hike we could find to a waterfall. As we were walking up to see the falls with the babies in there baby Bjorn's an older couple from Austria stopped us a wanted to take a picture of us and look at the babies, I think they missed there grand kids back at home. Then when we got up to the waterfall a big group from Belgium that was on a bus tour came up and kind of swarmed around us just memorized with our kids, one of the ladies wanted to hold Ethan while Q took Brendin up the rocks a little closer to the water. She just holding him and all the people were coming up a saying Hi to both of them and Ayla just looked up at me like Mom who are these people! It is so funny when there are more than just one baby people think it is just so fascinating. They were such nice people. After that we just drove through Yosemite Valley and looked around and then headed back home. It was a nice trip with the family, I think next we will make it a longer trip though, we were only there 2 days you could stay there at least 4 or so.
