Baker Brennan

At the end of July, Briz thought it would be fun to invest in a waffle maker. By the time we got home from our day Taylor was asleep. Brennan on the other hand was ready to make waffles with Daddy! We gave him Taylor's baking hat and apron and away they went making yummy waffles before bed.

Taylor's Dance Recital

In July, Taylor had her first dance recital! She enjoyed dance and wanted to do the recital however, did not care for dance class. It was a challenge to convince her every week. Towards the end she began to refuse to participate so Briz and I would make her go watch because of the commitment she agreed to. The night of the show, she didn't miss a step! We were so proud and once again learned our Taylor does things on her own terms!

HAPPY 30th Birthday Briz!

In July, I had a surprise Birthday party for Briz.

Again like his 23, I caught him off guard inviting people who he thought I would never think to invite! I was even surprised myself when Femi (a friend living in Sacramento) showed up. Briz had a great time seeing everybody, and it demonstrated to me once again how great of a guy my husband is to be cared by so many people!

Evening fire. Thanks Ben and Heri!

Stick with me!

I know I am posting things out of order, as I came to update I thought... Why didn't I post this? Or that? I am hoping to correct the order eventually!

Our first family ball game!

September 5, we ventured all the way up (15 min) to Lake Elsinore to meet up with the Knights for a Lake Elsinore Storm Baseball Game.








Here are the kids tailgating !

Go Storm!













Taylor won a pizza!

We had a Storm of a time! Looking forward to doing this again next season.

Beach Day!

On September 3, my Mom and I took the kids to Balboa. It was great, no one was there!
We found so many cool shells and the kids had a blast!

The Temecula Library

Towards the end of July, we took the kids on their first Library trip. Our city Library is beautiful! The kids enjoyed their section. We didn't have to worry too much about Brennan's noise level because the Juvenile area is set in a room off of the main part of the Library (genius). One thing in particular they enjoyed were these chairs that you could teeter back and forth.



We picked out some books, and the kids received library cards. Brennan's feelings are mixed, Taylor LOVES the Library. We have gone once since then and I hope to make it a bi-monthly to weekly trip!
