October started out with a fun trip to Travel Town in Los Angeles. The Fassett family got together to celebrate Scott's birthday. We looked at old trains, rode some little kid trains and took A LOT of pictures of cute boys frolicking in trains.
Blakey loved exploring the train engine room.
Afterwards, we went to a Thai restaurant for dinner. The only sad part of this picture is that you cannot see Blakey's cute little face. The boys were very well behaved, especially considering it was very close to bedtime.
Ah yes, the pumpkin lights! The boys were fascinated when I brought out the "calabazas". We now go exploring around the neighborhood looking for more!
A few weeks ago, we met up with some friends for pumpkin patch trip #1. We had a delightful time, despite the very high temperatures. This farm was very big and we actually had to leave before making it over to the pumpkins! We did manage, however, to spend some time in this cool play area, watch some pig races, visit with the farm animals, and see a band perform.
Silly Blakey! (notice the red cheeks- poor boy!)
They loved watching this band play.
I know I've mentioned it before, but Elmo is almost more popular than mommy is in this house. I found 2 little cute Elmo dolls at Target. When the boys woke up to them, they were thrilled! In fact, Nicolas carried them around all day and I made the mistake of letting him take them to nap time. He decided that it was more fun to talk to his Elmos than to sleep. Uh, won't make that mistake again! (Blakey has the original Elmo behind Nicolas.)
The boys LOVE their cars. Usually it's Blakey who runs up to me, or anyone who visits the house for that matter, and brings me his "car-cars" (not to be confused with "ca-ca" or "cracker" which all sound very similar) but on this particular day, Nicolas was very focused on collecting all sorts of vehicles and playing with them on the front porch. You can see Blakey in the background running back to add more to the bunch.
I told Nicolas to give Bella a "beso". So, on command, as Nicolas bends over towards Bella, well....you can see what happened!
We were delighted this past week when Evan, my 12 year old nephew, got on an airplane and flew all by himself to come stay with us for a week. He lives in Phoenix and was on a fall break. All I can say is that the boys learned how to say his name in less than a day and when he left to go over to my other sister's house for the night, there was major meltdown in this house! Here we are at Chuck E Cheese. (our first time there and probably our last for a while. Daddy was very stressed out!)
Blakey loved the merry-go-round.
You can see the boys looking a bit sleepy..........
Last weekend we took our second trip to a pumpkin patch. We went to a smaller one and lucked out with the weather. It was much cooler and felt like fall. The boys had their first ride on a pony. They are true Taylors, naturals with animals.
Nicolas figuring it all out while daddy is hard at work.
Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere!
Blakey kept trying to look through the hole......maybe next year sweet pea!
Run, run..........
Finally, the boys find pumpkins their size!
We took Evan and my other nephew, Andrew, to our new favorite restaurant. This restaurant sits right on our little Camarillo airport. You can watch the planes land. But even more entertaining for Nicolas and Blake, were the birds who have learned that if they hang out on the wall long enough, they'll get some yummy, greasy food. There was a lot of chatter of "pajaritos tweet, tweet" at the table.
Just couldn't resist....In the midst of a diaper change...............one of the cutest little bottoms around!
We learned a new board game while Evan was here, Sequence. It was quite fun. Nicolas enjoyed playing with the chips while Grandma studied her cards.
Cool guys, cool guys
The boys are very into giving out "besos" (kisses) right now. Here Evan is saying goodbye to Blakey. We miss you already Evan and can't wait to Skype with you soon! (hint, hint Susie!)
This morning Blakey found his glasses and actually kept them on long enough for me to take a picture!
Ah man, that was a lot! The boys are getting cuter and cuter each day. They are figuring out the world around them and we are really enjoying them during the process.
We are really looking forward to getting them into their little costumes...I won't give them away. You'll have to stay tuned!
Hugs,
Rebeca
