Halloween now? Halloween now??

Aubrey is so excited for halloween! For the last few weeks she has been asking now stop, "Haaween now, Haaween now?" I've finished making her costume and have Evelyn's already. I'm not going to ruin the surprise, but they are adorable! Here are our pics from last years Halloween:

She did NOT want to sit inside, lol

Lombardi Ranch

Yesterday we took the girls to Lombardi Ranch in Santa Clarita. It's a huge pumpkin patch with train rides, a petting zoo and a corn maze! I made sure to check the weather in advance to make sure the girls wouldn't be cold, since I usually have the girls under dressed when we go down to Ventura. Well let me just say, the weather app for the IPhone sucks! It was not 75 like it was suppose to be, it was more like 60. Luckily I had hats for the girls and and extra blanket for Aubrey. Other than being cold we had a great time! We went through the corn maze and were able to find all the hidden animals, the girls picked out pumpkins and we got lots of pictures. Oh and Aubrey almost got licked by a cow, Haha!

aubrey's talking up a storm

I feel bad because I realized I haven't written any posts about Aubrey in a while. She's day trained and now we're going to start on night training since she's actually able to put Evelyn's diapers on herself when she wants to. She loves prunes and thinks those and her gummy vitamins are candy :). She's started talking in sentences a lot more, some of her new sentences are:

Watch Max's Haa-ween (halloween)
I-Love-Youuu ~ This one I had to bribe her with gummy vitamins to get her to say
Shh, it's ok baby ~ she tells Evvy this when she's crying in the car
Pick Apples~ I told her we were going to go apple picking soon

She's learned some new names too!

Tolton-Colton
Kiss-Chris
Non-Jon
Miss-Missy

She also says "Baby sad" but it sounds like "baby dead" and it makes me want to cry everytime I hear it so I'm trying to get her to say "baby crying" instead.

It's coming sooner than we thought!

Just a little more than 3 weeks ago I posted about Evelyn standing unassisted, well now she's attempting to take steps! She completely mastered pulling herself up and walking along the furniture, but I didn't think she'd be trying to walk already. At this rate she'll be walking like a pro by Christmas! She also does a crab walk, she figured it out because she needed to crawl without getting her knees caught in her dress and I guess it's faster that crawling on her knees because that's how she gets around when she's in a hurry. Here are some pics of her pushing ehr new toy around:



Goodbye toothless grin...

Hello pearly whites! We've been a little busy getting ready for Chris's party this weekend but I want to share Evelyn's new milestone. Over the weekend she's gotten TWO more teeth! Both are in the middle on the top, but she's a champ and didn't even get fussy over it.

Halloween Fun!

As a way for everyone to see Chris before he is deployed in Janurary, Laurie had a Halloween party at the house with a bunch of family and his friends. There was good food (all made by Laurie), a jolly jumper and a ton of pumpkins to carve! Here are some pictures, Enjoy!
