Cali boy

Since fall has arrived, its cool in the mornings and night. This means the pool is not as warm. Meaning it went from 90degree water to 80degree. Gavin jumped in, and jumped right out. Said it was "way too cold" and decided to sunbathe instead. I could not blame him, I am the same way. 

Spina Farms 2013

We have been going down to Spina Farms every year since Gavin was a baby. Its a great little farm and pumpkin patch. The boys now both ride the train and we all go for a hay ride. This year Gavin got to do the pony ride for the first time, and Austin got to do the petting zoo for the first time. They were both so happy. Gavin did the loop with "Carolina" the pony, and he was such a bog boy (I asked him if he wanted me to walk with him, and he said "No, I got this"). Austin pet each and every animal, and as soon as the animal would acknowledge him, he would scream in excitement. I decided to leave the big camera at home, and just snap a few with my phone. It was a beautiful day. 

Austin's new favorite toy!

So its safe to say that Austin has every toy in the world....between him and his brother, they have everything. Of course, nothing can ever keep Austin's attention very long. Enter the marble run. Austin loves this thing. He will play by himself and the run for an hour straight. LOVES it. Loves to put all the marbles down it and watch them go....and he studies how they get to the bottom. Its kinda funny because it says this toy is for "5+" :) 

Weekend with my boys

This is the first weekend that I am not working in a long time. It was so nice to know that all weekend long, we have nothing planned! 

We decided to walk down to Mexico Lindo to get some tacos for dinner, then to get ice cream, then to the park. Perfect fall evening.

I snapped a few pics of Austin at the park. He is SUCH a ham. So busy. So wild. Trying to keep up with the bog kids...and he does. LOVES to play chase and hide and seek. I could just eat him up, he's so cute. 

The kids are exhausted and in bed by 7:30 when it is dark. They are tired, and so are we!

Fall is here

Fall here in California is not exactly what you think. Its like an extended summer, with cool mornings and evenings, but still nice and warm during the day. We are so lucky to have this weather.

The past few weeks have been SO incredibly busy. We have been busy with school, art class, soccer practice, zoo trips, bounce house/pumpkin patches, and watching Ma and Papa's house/Shadow. We have been on the move, and non stop. To add to the craziness, I have been working almost full time hours at work. Its been busy.

Gavin has been loving school as always, and Austin has been enjoying his time with Mama. 

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today we celebrated Daddy's 34th Birthday. We spent all day long making him an apple pie, and went shopping for his present. Happy Birthday Dada!

Self potty training

Enter the world of having an older brother to watch. Austin does EVERYTHING that Gavin does, and wants to be just like him. Its adorable. Especially when he wants to go potty! Austin loves to be naked (shocker) and he goes to the bathroom to pee every 20 minutes. He is hardly "potty trained" at this point, but I am sure if he really wanted to be, he would. I still throw on a diaper when we are out, as he is always too busy to care about going potty.
