Here are a few random pictures of what we have been up too.

Carter loves his bath time and playing after on his changing table.

The Science and Technology Museum with friends. This place was awesome and I was so surprised it was practically in our backyard. They had a huge toddler area with tons to do and they even got to do a craft. It was great!

Carter enjoying some prunes.



Aubrey making a bird feeder out of a pine cone.

Hanging out with our friends. The first picture is of not so happy Carter, Michelle and Sam. The second on is in McDonald's play place with Aubrey and Ethan.

Aubrey went to her first ballet class. She did great and liked it but we are not sure we might wait another year for when she is a little older.

Titi and Aunt Pat came out for the weekend. We all made a cake for Nana, Papa and Uncle Scott for their Birthday Celebration.

Our Babies

Our two peas in the pod.....


Aubrey at 5 months Carter at 5 months

After I took this picture of Carter I remembered that we took one of Aubrey at about the same age and sure enough we did. They are both so cute!

Castle Air Force Base

One of the perks of working at Castle Airport is we always get to go to all the fun events for free. They had there annual Omelet Brunch and my boss got us tickets. We had a wonderful breakfast and then got to go to the museum. Aubrey loves all the "big planes." We even got to go in a couple. It was a nice day.

Carter's 5 Months

I'm a little late on my posts this month. We all got the flu at the beginning of October. We are all finally better! It was rough. Carter turned 5 months 2 Saturdays ago. As you can see from the picture he has been spending some time in the walker. He is so strong! Whenever he is being held he wants to stand on our legs so we knew he would love the walker and he does. Carter has been moody lately I think because his teeth maybe coming in. He cries a lot and is very hard to get to sleep. He use to love the swaddle but now that he is Mr. buff man he can get right out of it which means his arms and legs are moving like crazy and he doesn't sleep. He is also very curious so nursing has began to be quit a challenge. Carter has found his voice and has started making some funny sounds. Other then all that his doing great and growing everyday.
Even though we have been having some crazy busy days lately we love you very much Carter and wouldn't change you for the world!

Mom's Birthday

September is a busy month of Birthdays for us. My brother's is the 5th, my dad's is the 23rd and my mom's is the 29th. Aubrey has been so excited to learn the Happy Birthday song. She loves talking about everyone's birthdays and how she can't wait to watch them blow out the candles. We will be celebrating everyone's birthdays together next weekend but Aubrey, Carter, Titi and I did get to do an early celebration with Nana on the week of her real birthday. We had a wonderful lunch at BJ's and then a day of shopping.

Potty Training

Our little girl is potty trained!

I think I can officially say that. We started charting all her "potties" on a sticker chart right after her Birthday in February. She was pretty good about going when we asked her but we were not that serious about it. With the new baby and our busy schedule Aubrey in diapers was just easier. Last week Friday Sept. 24th we decided to really do it. Every time she would go we would have a potty party with blow horns and a candle. She picked right up on it and has now been in big girl panties for a whole week. Poor little Aubrey got the flu this last week and I thought for sure the potty would be the last thing on her mind but I was wrong she keep up with it and did so good. I can't believe how fast she is growing. She talks so much now and is always asking questions. Aubrey still takes an afternoon nap 2pm-5pm and goes to bed at 7:30pm and wakes up at 8am. Her favorite dinner is homemade mac & cheese with hot dogs and her favorite dessert is ice cream which she calls "cream". She always puts a smile on our faces.
We love you so much Aubrey!

Fall Festival

Last weekend Titi came out to visit. We went to the fall festival in Atwater for the day. It sure didn't feel like fall that weekend I think it was around 95 degrees. All of last week was very hot but the fall is on it's way. This weekend we have had overcast skies and it's supposed to be in the 70's this week yay! Anyways we had a wonderful weekend spending time with Titi. The festival had lots of vendors, yummy food and a fun train that Aubrey loved!

We love you Titi!
