A Day at the Park

We met 3 of our friends at the park today and had so much fun! I was a little worried that Dellan would be crawling all through the wet grass, ruining his clothes, and eating dirt. But it turns out the little man is terrified of grass! We set all the babies down on the blanket, and dellan headed straight for the edge. The second his hand touched the grass he started crying! He tried a couple more times on other sides of the blanket, but would touch it very slowly (just one blade) and look at me and cry. He hated the stuff! So we had no problem! He stayed on the blanket all by himself. After playing outside for awhile (and eating puffs!) we tried out the swing. Dellan loved it when I would get up close to him as he came forward, and Laney showed her approval by sniffing and clapping... yes sniffing. She has started scrunching up her face and sniffing when she likes something. It is as funny as it sounds! There are several pictures below mid sniff. She also claps nonstop these days. After a few minutes of swinging (that's all they lasted) we went to the pond to see the ducks. I didn't expect the kids to acknowledge the ducks, but was happily surprised by their interest. They loved them! Our friend had brought some bread to feed them, so they all came right in front of the kids and they would just stare and smile. They couldn't get enough! Next stop... the zoo!

Happy Birthday Amanda!

We headed up north for the Giants game last week and it was perfect timing to swing by Oakdale for Aunt Amanda's birthday. It was so fun to play with cousins Paige and Levi and see all 3 of our Great-Grandparents. We all went to BJ's for her birthday where the babies say in high chairs for the first time!

So Happy We Won!

Go Giants!

Tony and I both grew up Giants fans, and Tony is crazy about them, so he set his mind to taking his son to the World Series Game and I am so glad he did! We had amazing seats (row M) behind the Giants dugout. I was a little worried about the babies with the noise and weather, but everything was perfect! It was actually warm the night we went and the babies were perfect. We had them in Bjorns most of the time and they were happy to stand up/sit down/repeat with us the whole game! It was pretty clear that the guys sitting next to us were not too stoked when we showed up, but they were high fiving the babies by the end of the game. I think everyone was amazed at how good they were :0) The lady behind us was even holding Laney by the end of the game! The Giants won and now the kids can say they have been to a world series game for their team... I think Dad is the most excited about this! But hopefully Deemie will appreciate it one day. It was one of my favorite nights as a little family!

Halloween

Better late than never...

For Halloween this year we decided to honor D & L's favorite animals... they love giraffes! And I figured Tony would make the perfect giraffe! We started off the day by going to a friend's house for a baby-week party compplete with spooky snacks and our first party favors! Then we headed to Oxnard for our traditional night of trick or treating with great friends in a close beach community. The babies were troopers and loved being Bjorned for the event, but took to their stroller for the second half where they quickly fell asleep. They are such good babies!
